To apple and pine

_DSC8867-1

And then, should you find a place in the shade that is unclaimed, park your apple and pine cart, set up your prices and wait. Wait till the light and the heat and the river sports are lost, wait till I see you.

Dry Red

Start accomplishing the thing that you want so very slowly that no one notices and gets any notions at any point before you’re done.

Pretty future

_DSC7956-1I say to Maewyn the Pat, will you just look at those pretty little pebbles over there? And that pretty little succulent on top? And the pretty little sun and the stream and the fruit flies and everything just come out of nowhere? Will you just look? Just put that cleansing pad down for a minute and look, please?

He keeps on cleansing.

Get More Hip Replacement than Hip

Prepare a bike to meet the faces that you’d meet. Record yourself doing Joe Pesci saying ‘yellow’. Lock the gate, doors and windows. Google ‘homemade Crowe auction items’.

January fist

You’ve got a whole lotta year to straighten the steeple. Imagine it done: doesn’t it look better now? It does, doesn’t it?
Or does it? Substantial effort, that, and you know how they like to lean.

Carry a dialogue with you at all times in case of people. People’ll see you carrying a dialogue like that, at all times, and they’ll think you’ve got tons of strength to be able to carry it. Strength is a bit scary, superannuated, like, so they’ll make some space for you. It’s good to have others make stuff for you that’s useful, like space.

Wait, you said you liked me

_DSC3585-

You said I was cute and then you said I was great and then you said I was handsome and clever and fun and funny and that you could stay here forever, and then you left and it was still early, so I thought maybe you’d be back soon, so I waited, and meanwhile people passed by and more people passed by and they were all talking among themselves, not sure what about, and they didn’t like the look of me waiting like that.

So you tell me I’m a Millenial

_DSC3439--

I don’t go outside that much because I’m a Millenial. We like the sun, but it isn’t that healthy of late.
I read because I’m Generation Y. I read on electronic devices because I read all the time. To manage that, I also download books illegally (my generation received a very old moral compass, which broke soon after).
I take many photos because I’m a Millenial and we come with awesome cameras. I take photos of raspberries on books because I’m a hipster and we can afford that.
I have a lot of time to read, take photos and connect with strangers online because I was born unrealistic, hence unemployable.

Still a little shy

Someone has been here all its life, waiting to teach you something. When you arrive, all knowledgeable, it slithers and hides outside the frame.

You need lots of stuff

_DSC3277-

They say you should cut down the number of things you own to 51, to be happy (there are websites on how to reach that number).
That’s not true.
What you must do is you must acquire a great number of things, thousands upon thousands, and you need to arrange them all on shelves and set up proper lighting to see them and show them to others. And you should wait for 51 people to tell you: ‘Ah, your collection is wonderful. I wish I had one just like it!’, and then you should give all your stuff away, divide it equally between the 51 individuals (there are apps that’ll help), and when you’re down to zero, ask each of the 51 to give you back an object of their choosing, and then drop me a line to let me know if it worked, the happiness thing.

Mr Caveman hits plateaus

I had some distant reading in my schedule this weekend, so I sat and looked at this book.

The Fourth Within

_DSC2647--

May your plants work out as you see fit.
May you snap dragons aplenty.
May your weedsies come true like the grass of champagne.
May your sorrows begonia.

Stars and strippers

_DSC2513--

Tethering is the use of your spare bits as modems to access the outback from the city centre. Future pavement releases will come with fail-safes in case you’ve stripped down to your fluff and aren’t ready to stop.

Missed calls from astronauts

Just pick up? I pick up the exoplanet vibes from the glint in my missed calls’ number-laden bearing.

Wellness in January

A stick and a stone may seem to be keeping the well at the end of the lane from eating you up, but I think they’re in on it too.

Road rage offering

When you drive someone up the wall to make your escape, remember to pick a wall that’s inclined to help.

River hid, river ran (river kid, river man)

Teenage bike takes in the view while its human gently weeps. Lovely little insects draw near.

The ‘letting go’ chapter

According to Dylan Moran, whom I trust, the four ages of man are: child, failure, old and dead.
Here I was on the cusp of the optional IBAN validating interlude.
