he didn't say, 'straight' :: prev :: next :: Have you ever noticed... Funny. I'll tell you what I've noticed is that people don't notice. Right or wrong the guiding tenet of my life is above all else don't restrict another's pace, that is, be considerate. Not tolerant (sic) considerate. I can't be alone, I'm not arrogant enough to believe I'm unique-- but experiential evidence says otherwise "Lord of all creation..." i sing "You have my heart..." i sing; but where is my heart? it often, continuously, in those rare moments when I reflect feels lost. my heart is on the train, reading the same sentence over and over, whilst two latino women are chewing the fat in the seat behind via shrill spanish, and so i read that sentence again, and again and realise, i can't even remember what the article's about, what magazine it is, at what station i get off... it's always been this way, but i used to not concern myself, i used to think... in the world to come it will all work out but now i'm not so sure, now i think this life is some sort of midnight, bleary-eyed, cacophonous dress rehearsal for the next and if you don't work it out here you won't there we're all slaves to addiction some are simply more subtle yet no less insidious something revolutionary, life-altering, you see the pieces connect, the entire solution to the maze, there is hope... but then a day passes and another and focus is gone your eyes cross your mind goes blank the profundity of it all is like a dream, or, like an amazing song written in a dream, yet with the sun and return of the day it is lost discipline, energy, and will are lacking woefully Narrow? Yes. It's a walk in the park minus p plus d © 2005 (7 april) john r. chase
