It is important that we reflect, but not dwell.

Im not Zapruder, but thanks for asking.

The President going up the road to see Billy Graham.

Flowers taunting some barbed-wire as they make a break for it. Run my little yellow friends.....ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnnn!!!!!!!!

Cloud dancer

Lines of water vapor

coming together to dance

in the evening sky.

Rising with the updrafts

to comand a form,

if but for a moment.

Dress caught in the current,

crown of dewy flowers,

arms extended,

back arched,

grand plea,

reach up,

twirl,

and..

.....

...

..

gone

Roger Miller is antiquated.

Roger Miller let it be known that you simply can not change film with a kid on your back. Due to magnificent advances in digital technology, this is no longer a problem......unless you have to change your flash card.........but you can be happy if you mind to.

Fire is the original television among other things. It was only recently that our world has had the likes of Soupy Sales, Bob Barker, and Oprah. Even in the days of radio people had to have something in which to affix their eyes. I suppose you could stare at the radio but it would be much like a dog staring at a door awaiting it's masters return.

Fire was also the original dating site. If you wanted to meet the pretty ladies, be they Australopithecus Robustus, Hun, or one of those skinny girls you see in Hieroglyphs, a good fire was the place to go. (Joan of Arc excluded). As a society we should take time to turn off our televisions, take a step back in time, and set something aflame.

Redheads would make terrible slaves

Redheads would have made terrible slaves. How long could one of my people have possibly lasted in a southern Cotton field or desert in Egypt? One or two hours at the most before dehydration and sunburn would have brought us to our knees. Then comes the whip on top of the sunburn when you can no longer physically move due to said sunburn...vicious cycle really.
I recently talked to a doctor about an article I had read stating that redheads feel pain 30% more than other skin tones. He said that he had heard the same thing, right before he shoved an epidural needle into my spinal column to inject steroids. 30% is a lot people, and I seriously doubt it swings the other way where we feel 30% more pleasure than other skin tones. I have yet to even bring up the temperament of my kind, we are know for our quick fuses. The lengths of our lives would have been drastically reduced by the speed of our tongues. We have enough trouble working when you pay us well, and place us in an air conditioned building with a nice view.

Spilt sand

Trail of sand, underwater,

spilling down grey rocks

into a deep pool

of cold, blue riverwater.

Gentle, green moss

catching grains of Earth

for a brief moment,

before letting go

and waving in the swirl

of a slow eddy.
