CRUMPLED PAGES
1. Mammograms are S&M without a safe word.
2. Televisions can increase in surface area only by eating books.
3. Profile: a person for whom a turn signal is excessive premeditation.
4. There are the people with lovers in every port, and the people out excavating new harbors.
5. Cement mixers ruminate: don't step in the cud.
6. All food contamination should be reported in gothic bold: viz the e. coli DEATH SCALLIONS!

HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."

Damn, you're good at aphorisms.
ReplyDeleteYes. Explicate #3, though, for me? I'm feeble-brained today.
ReplyDeleteDave: With half a glass of wine, the aphorisms alas degenerate into sententious Yodaisms. Not to engage in any holiday foreshadowing.
ReplyDeleteDale: Even carbo-deprived, you're never feeble-minded. #3 is but a bitter snipe at live-in-the-moment, die-in-the-moment Chicago drivers.
Peace and Joy to you both, as we lumber into the Year of the Ox.
