He confused on a Tuesday.
Wish I could say it was raining or something, to enhance the story.
But it didn’t. It was another day at the job.
We shall start to build utopia now. Please bring your working gloves.
You can leave the glass jar by the door. We won't be needing that today. Now that the
building has begun we are all busy anyway. The others are downstairs,
Jan has a cold, but he came nevertheless. And when you are not looking he is sneezing.
Gemma and Louie are depositing, I’m sure that’ll take them all day. I can’t imagine how it can
drag out like that, or, actually, i can. It’s the whole see me thing all over again.
Did you see the picture? They took it down now. With that flower in her hair she looked
just like Billie Holiday in Cambodia, don’t you think?
Course they had to take her down. The wall was all hollow. Not much to carry out. I saw
it through to the end. Some tears fell, i don’t know if it
was the dust setting, or sadness. I don’t know if it was me, or her. She got a proper
sendoff, i tell you.
Perhaps i went to see her, back when. Perhaps i didn’t. Did i ever tell you the story?
Oh, i did, did i?
What, you want something to drink? Here, have some water.
I checked it personally.
It is ok.

Rotate ruminations

Mean looks mean. Curiosity can be hemmed in, but not drowned. To accomodate it is necessary to allow a free rein, within the boundaries of the concept. This is modern, useful approach. This is pragma, when results and not appearances matter. You can forget the guilt trip, it does not compute in this environment. Just look out for the green, ever moody, likely to shift on a whim.  You got to work with me baby. Don’t make the mistake of thinking.  This is more about feeling. A touchy subject I know. And Aldred…no let’s not go there. I must obey the rules. I will obey the rules. The rules are mine. I rule. Think for yourself. Feelings are overrated. This feed is monitored.

It pisses me off. You know what I mean? The constant to-and-fro. The mimicking. The mediocrity. The shallow sages. Here they were, perfectly happy to waste it all. And you. What did YOU do about it? Me, I need to get it out. Me, I need to absorb it all. Please, don't keep me waiting. Let me know how you are dealing with it. You know the drill. Let it rip.

Do you usually look people in the eye? What do you see? I don’t believe they are the mirror entrance to the soul. I think we are defenseless, but the eyes, that’s something else too. something about power, and animal. and that power, don’t underestimate it. it plays tricks with your mind. like it has a mind of its own. it makes you drunk, it does. It made me. Like a hot rod of energy. Flush ride. Then you need the rhythm. The tap tap keeps you sane. And it clicks with the tricks, fooling the mind to overcome any resistance, smooth operator. The looks burning, reddening skin. Furtive glances. Shows how powerful the look is. It’s physical. Slicing you in two, splitsecond dissolvment, followed by a slow countermovement in a spiraling move, rising up like smoke from the river, untethered by words anchoring the here and the now. Coming on for the landing flapping, focused on getting it right. The landings are hard, and they don’t get easier. The face, on the other hand. Why don’t
