Where no boat has gone before!


A flower

If you could be Superman

And reach the clouds of boys that dream

Far above the pains of far out wonders?


A flower

They scream in giant towers

Scraping the sky in panic and desire

Fingers grasping each moment

For a sacred Lotus

To get upon the mud

Sacred nothings of love

Drunk by opium running from sap

Loving from nothing

And you want to have it back

It is an illusion of flowery prose

Paintings in Mexico.

There in your hungry mouth..

A flower

Time itself undresses her pants

Now and forever.


Vote with this..



Silence is not always golden!


Let us relax..


The question is complex!


Well intentioned people can make mistakes and those intentions may have intensity of emotion behind them and go outside of the basics of traditions and conventions or be unreasonable according to logic.  In battling for changes perhaps we forget that we are faced with complexity and a dynamic universe.  Humans are fallible and fail and fall.  Life is somewhat wild and never exactly predictable. Perhaps I am right or wrong, but I would fight hard for your right to speak your mind even if I don’t agree with you!


Sadly..


Just one kiss!


I wonder how loneliness works and if it comes in a can?



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.
