Another full moon tonight, the Pink Moon. The month has flown. I still have a red ant bite on my toe that has not completely healed that I got making pictures of the full moon by the lake in my flip-flops last month. Vicious thing.
I'll work on hope tonight. Like in "The Iceman Cometh."
"To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It's irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober."
(Eugene O'Neil, "The Iceman Cometh")
The Full Moon already happened. If you're looking at a calendar that shows the full moon occurring on GMT it will appear to be on the 18th. But for those of us who live on EST it has already occurred at 10:45PM last night. I thought you were a science teacher...
ReplyDeletefull moon or not...I'm waiting for the hope! Long live pipe dreams!
ReplyDeleteI. . .I work in the factory. I am off, out of kilter. I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be. . . .
ReplyDeleteWhenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean-favoured and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good Morning!" and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich, yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine -- we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked and waited for the light,
And went without the meat and cursed the bread,
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet in his head.
