Aimless book collector constrained by the limitations of memory. Mostly thinking about Greece and Rome when not reading SF. Coffee addict. Appalled by what we have done and where we are. Often found looking through a lens at insects and other detritus.

Some people find life very similar to a vaudeville show. You think the next act will be a little better, but it isn't.

Venus in the dawn sky as observed during todays frosty and fresh early morning bimble with the four legged walking coach.

A line of almost bare branched trees and shrubs stand in silhouette in front of a dawn sky that starts orange behind the trees and fades through yellow to pale blue skies at the top of the image. Thin grey clouds form lines across the middle of the image with Venus just visble under the lowest line of clouds towards the right hand end of that line opf clouds.

Take me to the river,
drop me in the water
Dip me in the river,
drop me in the water
Washing me down,
washing me down.

Pali Tirtham (water tank), next to Sri Ramanasramam is used for sacred rites and functions. Also called ‘Manakkula’ (‘marriage’), it attracts newly married couples for blessings. Nearby, a majestic peepul tree (ficus religiosa) with statues of Ganesha and other deities carved in stone underneath it is to be found on the roadside bank with a raised platform around it. Chengam Road, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Most doctors agree on a simple plan for life:
- drink plenty of water
- exercise often
- cultivate a fine coat of moss
- grow out your antlers & fangs
- wander the wildlands as a creature of myth and gloomy legend.

Still,
There are good things in this world.

James Wright
Trying to Pray This time, I have left my body behind me, crying In its dark thorns. Still, There are good things in this world. It is dusk. It is the good darkness Of women's hands that touch loaves. The spirit of a tree begins to move. I touch leaves. I close my eyes, and think of water.

from the anonymous issue of Adventures in Poetry
140 SYLLABLES All my life I have wondered, Why doesn't somebody write A terrible poem that says In so many words, this world Is a fraud, the people who Run it are murderous fools, Everything ever printed Is a lie, all their damn art And literature is a fake, Behind their gods and laws, they Are all buggers and snarfs and Pee hole bandits, their science Is just a fancy way to kill Us and our girls and kids. What I want to know is why Somebody doesn't write it All down in about twenty Lines of seven syllables Once for all, and scare the shit Out of all the dirty squares.
