The Chains of Being


I pondered the daisy chain of cause and effect in the rain. Not exactly a downpour, but enough to soak the pores, by osmosis. Everything in theory can be traced back to the first spark, the prime mover, that is both cause and effect … gave me pause to reflect … on how what never ends, couldn't be … gin and tonic for me. A bitter segment of the time lime. On the rocks. Stirred and, almost, shaken. Wet and drunk and sunk.

    You when this really causes distraction for me...when somebody does something stupid in a car that ends up being a hassle for me.

    I'm serious. I guess it's because of the destinational nature of driving a car...

    My mind immediately starts pondering the million little things...going back into the house for forgotten keys, 5 miles slower they miss a green light, etc...that could have kept them from being in that spot at that time.

    P.S. a little Sneaker Pimps might be just what the day needs.

    We'll see after we stop pretending to work...a bald face charade this day has been...and leave.

    Driving is kind of a compressed metaphor - may be metaphor is too abstract - for life. How I arrived at the Sneaker Pimps as the tune for this, was just free association, which got me thinking about cause and effect and the arbitrary nature of - versus the regular habit of connecting - things.

    I just realised, after all these years, that the "Six Underground" is a reference to "Six feet Underground" - LOL, I'm so slow to catch-on sometimes!

    It's not a pleasant line of thinking...necessarily.

    You know in a collumbarium they put you in a niche.

    You aren't being held for having done harm to a body in a wig...are you?

    Are you allowed to receive toiletries...what about cash. I know you need cash for the cantena...I don't want you having to make any "deals" for cigarettes.

    I assume they don't allow file lengthed cakes anymore.
