Ask around the people who you find what life would bring to ones their kind if they had one wish to be granted what would it be? the result of wishes you ask completes a blue angel's task it grants half-terrestrial wishes on condition that double is granted others recorded in live sound on platinum dishes an uncanny wish prompt the clever to accept blindness in one eye where sight is never that they may rule over human kind which would then be doubly blind. settle for 'half-sighted' instead of 'half-witted' settle for light and dark distinctions rather than total visual darkness? better a blurry focus on neat perspectives than the blindness of surround sound taken for granted...ask around the people you find the visions of life harboured in mind.

some interesting lines, but I'm afraid I'm too sleepy right now to catch the message of this piece. Guess I'll have to check back. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Poetic version of a French tale relating the story of a vagabond who approaches an angel to relieve his misery on the condition that if he wishes for something, all of humanity must recieve double that. |
