Plan9

I find it most amazing that the human ear is equipped with those intricate equilibrium canals that orient us to the position of our heads, the angle at which our eyes are staring. Nature makes us aware of our position based upon the godless pull of gravity; we can't really escape it. It is up to us to keep our heads up and to keep looking forward.

A carved-in smile would be quite appropriate for so many people who refuse to accept "bad days" as normal.

Tenderizing callousness, always requires a good soaking.

It is pointless to pretend you are dead.

I sha!! elaborate...

It never fails...I find my self in a place of eatery,
attempting to nurse a shattered heart,with food and drink...I 'just' happen
to glance around the room and spy the one couple...

billing and cooing...feeding each other..eyes and souls all alight..

I want to kill them and stomp them dead....

but I know now why I have to avert my gaze..

I cannot hold that feeling with any truth in my heart...

Damn those fuckers!....bless those fuckers...

they are healing me...

You lucky bastard! In my guitar is a broken pick up mic and a ball bearing my 5 year old dropped through the hole that I can't seem to get out.
