Sexist Male Fantasies on Ice

Heraclitus said, "One cannot step twice in the same river." The river seems to be constant, just as the moment always seems the same. But the water is always moving; the water that touches your legs flows on until it reaches the ocean, or some other destination. Those same water molecules will never be in that location again, along with the organisms that it carries with it.

I dream of the passageway that opens up like a gift, like a small stream opening suddenly into an ocean...

Stuff found today:
1. I have to let the dog out of the trunk.
2. Boy, is it a white day. It must be the whitest day yet.
3. He made her bark.
4. Ravi Shankar is tuning up somewhere.
5. Oh, waiter, my date is ice cold.
6. A. That's what she'd lke to do to him. B. Stir his olive?
7. We have a radioactive something-or-other.

I'm more suspicious than I used to be. Monsters can disguise themselves as postal carriers; postal carriers can disguise themselves as competent persons.

Dear Gershom Gillespie,
I realize you are dead. But if you could give me some idea of the workings of the universe in general, and of time in particular, I would forever be in your debt.
Love,
Your dead Uncle Eli

Dreams are nocturnal emissions, much like semen, but easier to clean up in the morning.
