KEEP GOING OR THE CLOWNS WILL GET YOU

The more one sees of these people, the greater the conviction that they've got mad cow disease. It's the circles they make. Plus the vacant staring at the sky. Either that or they've been warned that the space aliens are finally coming, and they hope that they can spot them descending and flee the death rays.

The graffiti-Lennon wall nearby is filled with "pig man", "plague", "ratanic", and "Trump". The person posting all that up has screws loose. I've met him, and it's a good thing he doesn't recognize people or hunt them down.
Too many chemicals in his lobes.
One of many.

They've taken the same things to heart that inspire me, but with different results.


INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

1.
"We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"
 -----Kodos, one of the two aliens on the Simpsons.

2.
"Keep moving, otherwise they'll shoot you from behind the trees."

3.
"Paddle faster, I hear banjos."

4.
"Life, life not all guessing games, Frog, sometimes we have to care about friends, especially friends who love cookies, friends who love cookies so much, they play silly guessing games, because maybe, maybe, just maybe a frog, a very handsome frog, who has cookie, will give best best friend who no can live without cookies, give that best friend a cookie.
But, if friendship means nothing..... "
 -----Cookie Monster, arguing that the individual can make a difference.


See, I find these things uplifting. The people wandering around at the intersection take them as messages from the other side.


The bus stop toward the end of the block fills up with the reality impaired by mid-afternoon. Thereafter, only drunks and bozos can sit there, not old people or moms with kids. It's reserved.


Sometimes I'm out on the front steps drinking it all in. Occasionally with my morning coffee and a cigarillo, or in the evening with a pipe in my mouth.

A pipe takes more time; that inevitably means more theatre.

Don't stop running, they are right behind you.

They've got big shiny teeth

And ray guns.
