tonight. . . the meaning of life!

Maybe if I say that I’m only joking, and that this is really an in-depth review of Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life; THE DVD! instead of more of the usual nonsense, you’ll stop in and read this. Maybe not, but I figured it was worth a shot, even if this is turning into something strange… ok… I’d like to call this intro- “homage! to the sort of state engendered after viewing Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life; THE DVD!” And now, more of the usual nonsense.

Good film though.

tonight. . . the meaning of life!

because it’s all going to be
the usual nonsense
if it’s going anywhere
near well at all

you are born
hopefully you wake up
now and then
hopefully you step from
dream to dream

walking down all these sidewalks
i keep patching together
reasons to smile

i love to watch pedestrians
standing at cross walks
heads bopping about
to so many different beats

i love it when they get stuck

able bodied people
facing an empty street
held back

by the light of a little red hand

    Bless you for hitting the bullseye during my random search for the target. To stop or go, that is the question? Red is the hottest of the warm colors. It increases rate of respiration and raises blood pressure: “Red is hot. It’s a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.” And in the consensus reality of 2006, the little red hand says don’t think, just stop.

    Is there a future consensus reality in which the hand, perhaps in a different color (but which? hmmm…), simply says think?

    To think or not to think, that is the question.

    one time i thought i thunk in fractals
    if you could call that a color
    that’d be my vote
