Good friends down.

Thought it would be great to go for a walk. Thought it would really nice to make a little snow man on the stump of the old tree for my housemates to see when they came home. Pulled my hands from my pockets and started forming a ball. Moon baby poo in the snow. All over my palms. Just great.

I need to get into the holiday spirit(s).

Sarah, you've got something in your hair. Here, let me get that. What's this? Oh it's just a bat. Just a bat.

Flat Earth Theory

I believe that strangers can be kind, that pterodactyls existed at one time (a while ago), that Tupac isn't coming back, that plants have something to say, and that you are funny, no really, I mean it.
But I've never been one to try very hard to convince anyone of what I believe, or of what I don't, because some people, apparently, think that the world is flat. If people think the world is horizontally infinite how can I possibly begin to explain why I don't drink milk?

Tension Spoke

The wheel has turned one full circle
Time for my meal of wood
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord
Inside a turning wheel would be good
To make my home lord
In a stable spoke lord
Inside a turning wheel bound for good
-Bill Callahan


The problem with cyclical things is that they come back around and bite you in the butt.

catch up chips

The whole way home with one eye closed in a pained wink. Like I'm flirting with the weather but it's not warm to me so I just pretend there are other reasons for me to be holding it shut.

It's a dry contact, o.k?

How people look (like their nose or shoes, not like the way that their eyes see things, but it could probably work that way too- I don't know I haven't written anything yet) is secondary to, but potentially a good outlet for, the way people think. Mind you, you can't change your nose very easily. For a few years I pinched mine and pulled it down to no avail.

And the way people think is primary (I also like the word 'paramount' for right there) to the way people show their thoughts. These thoughts would (contrary to a really bad paper I sort of read in bed yesterday) exist with or without expression or relationships, but hear this- then so what? Just saying.

Also, but entirely unrelated, one summer I planned a fitness regime that solely involved treading water. I did not follow through.
Again, also unrelated, a question: is the first note of a long distance phone call different, or do the rest just come so fast afterward that it feels as though you knew right from the beginning?

"Walled In", like a pun, not like the 2008 Mischa Barton movie

"There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it."

Oh Thoreau. If I remember correctly he goes on to measure, bit by bit, the shape of the pond, recounting in detail the process and his findings. In mapping it, he finds its line of greatest breadth intersects the line of greatest length at the very point of the pools greatest depth. He knows every dimension and still finds mystery. Most people don't know this but Walden is a (non-fiction) book about (true) love. Read it with patience.

Ride

Do you need a vehicle for your ketchup?
Out of fries? No scrambled eggs? No kraft dinner left?
Lentils. Lentils are the answer to your question. Cooked lentils.

Luggage eyes

Pure! Unreasonable! Fury! Culled from ?
It is just go'nah sit here until I bike rid of it.

I guess I have to put pants on.

Franny/I'm Human.

Here's what people need. Those little tags that plants have. Like this. Tucked into and poking out of their back pockets.
