SIGHTS YOU NEVER SEE
Animation in reverse, waters
running backwards. Things that
cannot be. Only ideas, it seems,
can reverse themselves, while
reality marches forward. We
demand by making promise, and
promise by making demands. It's
a crazy neighborhood here, to
live in. Shaking hands to break
a deal. Nodding to acknowledge
debt. I watched the little salesman
selling cars today - a tiny lot of
junk up Linden way. With every
word he spoke, his head moved
up and down - effect? To make
a point? A way of underscoring
what just was said? He smiled,
and just kept talking, with nary
a frown to be. Some sights,
you just never see.
