these glasses warp the world force me to see normal I could rip them off twist and the lenses bounce damn them but at least they can only bend dirt now the frames make a wire monkey’s fist it would fit better inside my head could still stretch ear to ear in there like a short circuit everything’s gone soft small but that finch trying to be a blurry yellow leaf and make his dancing in and out of the tree into a spring fall spring sounds the same |

But hopeful -- that's the whole point.....the world is real and we can still perceive it somehow if we will.... whether we accept our natural blur or assume some forced clarity that the modern way gives us, a bird sings the same song. If we try, we can still see him do those simple natural things....like settle to the ground, then fly back up to his branch when the spirit moves him. That's wonderful, when you think about it. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

Even the forced clarity my glasses provide is beginning to be a bit blurred... I need new ones. *S* But... I see clearly through your vivid images... This is wonderful! *S* |
