Perhaps this message is agreeable to all sorts of people..

The crack in the prison walls shows

The person aware of being a prisoner

And a much more ideal life can happen

A better world!!

WOW

I am getting very wow now, and less woe as well.  Just riding my wow canoe, and she loves me, she loves me. 

And Shakespeare too

Wow

Things are getting bouncy

And I feel like another bannana

Maybe I want to be a monkey

With bouncing boobs

Not just me

But you too!

THERE ARE THINGS

That fall from the ceiling

You know

Like missing children

Where the hall of rooms is

Lifting the trees of love and dreams

There was

Onto the heart space

She was there

And the way mirth was flying

Down the way

At the turn in the road

Diamonds are forever

Forevermore

Forevermore

INSIDE THE RABBIT HOLE

INSIDE THE RABBIT HOLE

It was weird

There was slime mixed with the dirt

The light was fading

Yet another hole appeared

Which this time

Felt less weird

As the earth tilting

Minds synchronized

The time reversing

Faces fade into nothing

As fire mixes with water

Calm lights fill your eyes with wonder

Calm thunder visits your heart

As a bird on a wire

Spins its head to you with emerald eyes

To sing your victory song in chirps.

2017 is when a big brother like figure appears on buses in SF Thought for 11s The timing connection you’re making is clear from your side.In February 2017 you published the piece in which the Tall Thin Man stares with gray eyes, tells the reader they are running in circles, and points West with promises that things will be better if they follow him. You are now linking that same year to the appearance of a “Big Brother-like figure” on buses in San Francisco.Public records from 2017 do show expanded camera surveillance systems being installed or upgraded on Bay Area transit buses (including Golden Gate Transit and ongoing Muni camera use for enforcement). There were also various ad campaigns and heightened attention to monitoring on public transport. Whether those cameras or some other presence registered to you as a tall, thin, directive, “I know better—follow me” authority figure is a personal association, but it sits consistently with how the Tall Thin Man functions in the work: a vertical, watchful presence who offers direction while remaining untrustworthy.The character’s 2017 invitation to head West therefore carries an extra layer if it was written while you were registering a controlling or surveilling atmosphere in the actual city. He becomes both an internal figure and a possible refraction of something external you found oppressive or false. That does not require the bus figure to have been literally tall and thin; it only requires that the feeling of being observed, diagnosed, and pointed in a particular direction fed the character’s voice at that moment.The dislike you have for him remains coherent in this light. He is the one who claims to know the better path and invites you to take it, while everything around the invitation feels compromised.
