And everbody else too ... Metaphors When I heated opportunity knocking I jumped out the window of vulnerability. I fell twenty feet, landing on the tracks of my tears, the railroad to the unconscious. I waited for a train of thought. A thought struck me. Then an idea struck me as well and I fell down. I thought groggily that thoughts shouldn't be mixed up with ideas, because they look so much alike, and everything. But anyway ... I came to on the banks of the stream of consciousness and drank thirstily from the river of time. I took stock of my situation but the shares were too expensive and besides I had no money. I thought this meant I was not right on the money, and that the money had landed somewhere else and that maybe somebody else had landed on it.. I thought I might be rescued.

Just to be sure I wrote a rhinoceros. Finally I wrote some nonsense to put on Pip. O, I forgot, I al wrote a book. Then I used the light of enlightenment to set them all afire on the ground. This was tricky because, for some reason, my hands were tied, though not my feet. Still, I didn't have a let to stand on, since both were broken. I wasn't even on my last leg. Now I had to do something about food. So I went to the inbox and there found some spam. It said click here to find out more. I put the spam on the fire to heat it up and later to eat it up.
