Tedious people should keep accessories and hair simple. Not too long into the evening, a clever tie or long braid evokes the garrote.
Complementary colors hold hands under the desk, and subvert all decorating schemes.
Awash in the homogenization of human structures, sometimes we need signage to remind us of nature's diversity. "Don't park under palm trees," dangles from the Florida rental car mirror. "Caution: Mountain Lions," warn the signs in Atascadero. And that terse plea to Icelandic hikers: don't fall through the Earth's crust.
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."
