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.
