if you leave the water on, the sinks will overflow

see always see do nothing more than observe for your sight is the most powerful act in the universe and without it there would be no universe worth seeing and i guess no you either * the darkness was old and night was young when my father came home with an electric cord that teaches … Continue reading

Words worth a day

What are words but pictures and pictures but language and language but us picturing the language of words to make us us again * If you look long enough at a person you will end up seeing yourself and if you look longer you end up seeing them and if you look longest of all … Continue reading

The study of the lives of one

I’m ass to sun after a great education told me I could do it all if only I worked and worse like wearing pants which are now far away and floating in clouds I can’t see with my butt high indomitable and creaking like water in a damn with a little flow from a big reserve … Continue reading

Always difficult

There is always someone more to know always someone worth always like her under the blue light who will always be there in your mind making you want to speak or listen or both until someone else unknown comes along who is more than always * Life is long but he died young younger than … Continue reading
