the best wednesday ever
i don't know how to qualify that at all
it ain't that nothing good happened today
unless you think being alive verbal and conscious is a good thing
and i do think
just that i heard the old saws it's humpday
and also just 2 more days till friday
which i think is a real drag
consider if i died tomorrow
or suffered some catastrophe of whatever imagining
and i'd look back at today
which was beautiful
sunny warm w/ birds and squirrels running and rutting
and i came home to my wife and child
waiting for me
and i'd think that damn this wednesday was the best day ever
carpefuckingdiem as horace sd
even if it does sound like so much horseshit
because we are on this ride only once
and our turn goes so fast

I read somewhere that a more accurate translation of "carpe diem" is "pluck the day" - a day to hold between your thumb and index finger. BTW I love squirrels. The first time I saw one prancing across a branch, I was captivated. My friends from the Northern hemisphere thought I was a little strange. Ryan
i've read that too, ryan, but still accurate as it is to turn a plow is to turn a verse. squirrels are part of our urban natural environment and have a great fondness for them, as i do chickens, cows and ducks of all sorts. i love even kitschy artwork that portray or use cows and chickens. in other words, ryan, it takes one to know one: i'm just as strange.
