It’s the crack of Tuesday-ish and nobody cares. Somebody might, but not anyone I know. I made a mix tape once, maybe twice, with songs about the days of the week. Nobody cared, nobody I knew. And there aren’t any other days, that was all of them, just seven chasing each in a straight line, like a great anaconda pinned down in an album behind another ones ass, a Congo line of anaconda’s to infinity. I don’t remember whose myth that is, but it’s an origin of creation myth from some culture; the earth is a great anaconda swallowing his own tail. I’m guessing the culture was in the amazon because I think that’s where the snake is from.
I was thinking about something. It’s an odd sensation, y’all should try it, it’s a bit like needing to sneeze but not quite getting there. There’s almost tastes of images and sound. I can’t remember what it was I was thinking about, it’s like skydiving I imagine, there’s a point where everything is beautiful and rushing towards you and you’re more awake than you’ve ever been, there’s also, probably, a point where you can’t remember why the fuck you’d do something as stupid as jump out of a plane while it was flying.
The last two days had this weather advisory; Dense Fog. It had travel warnings. I would make fun of that except that I lived in Portland so long that I appreciate travel warnings, the clearer the better …” Only brake when you want the vehicle to stop. Rain makes the pavement wet. Right blinker means you are heading right in the very near future, not eventually, try to get over to the right. The same is true for the left but much more in a leftward direction”
I’ve been in fog on three continents. One day of this was freezing fog. It’s the same only colder and it ices things up, or down depending on your perspective. Are you a glass half up or a glass half down kind of person? I like my glass upright but leaning westward.
For some reason I have this wallpaper on my desktop of horses being harnessed, a dog, a little kid, couple of guys, a woman, potatoes, geese, stuff like that. I’m sorry, I know the reason, I put it there, I just don’t know why I did that. Everything is calm and sweet and bucolic, but you can tell the toddler and the mid sized mutts are predators and that the horses are not. I doubt that’s why I put it up but it does have something to do with why I haven’t taken it down.
A few years ago the GF and I were laying in bed and the TV was on one of the few channels she gets and there was this show about penguins. It was narrated by a guy with a comical Australian accent, I mean an exaggerated one, and besides the segment on the desert penguins (I know, wtf) the most striking thing was the penguin cams. Boxy black and white decoys with cameras. At some point most of them would tip over and you’d get this up-the-skirt shot of penguins walking over the cam. Among the critters on our emoticon pre-package are penguins so we text cams back and forth. Makes it seem even more implausible that I was thinking of something doesn’t it?
