"Why didn't you just take it slow girl?" The woodchuck snorts at the cloud of smoke I release while lookin' sideways at his shiny blackish brown eyed gaze. His whiskers twitch and he gives a short closed-eye sneeze. "Dunno Chuck, I never seem to pause, to get a hold." Shoulders rise and fall gracelessly. It's another grey day, this weather is something Chuck and I like in common and we'd argued about who owned the yard and what parts of the day. We'd settled.
"No sage words for you then girl." Chuck brings a long hooked black claw to his left ear and gives a digging scratch at it. "Damn fleas, damn em all." I look across the yard at the scarlet and yellow Cardinals swooping to catch insects; peck peck peck, and then back into the low branches of an untrimmed locust tree. I nod my head at the wisdom of the woodchuck.
"Ya give all ya can Chuck ... that's all to be done. Never learned ta' hesitate." Chuck stares at me and for a minute I could swear he was smilin'. He turns and waddles back toward the porch; this set of hours belong to me.

Twitter™ is also like this, her search through detritus layers of life; linear in procedure. Time as lines, the TL: a wanted sequence for us to cling to even knowing the quantum cosmology of particle and wave mechanics. Twitter does not randomly present us. Neglecting even the theme sequence groupings which is a more likely portrayal of our natures.
It is left to us to paint our own contrails.
Across her words lay themes, not necessarily unique or original, but hers. An underlying hum of message machinery, not to be heard but sensed, felt.
The longing for the extraneous 'power' to which we cling, adhere, our desire fo

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent

Oh they're running t'old steam engine tour train through t'valley today. God i wish i was having coal smoke and burning cinders blowin in my face. *picturing the screaming flaming tourists beating each other*
Fuck me with a jackhammer humans ARE the funniest damn creatures. Mom to six year old child "Hurry honey get that pretty summer frock on, we've got to catch the open air tour train!" Two hours later the scorched-hair tour family clambers offa the Old Timey tour train ... "Now wasn't THAT fun!"
