I have always felt a kinship with Kermit the Frog.
I have also loved the Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime” since the first moment I heard it.
Now these two things are one. (Quicktime).
Aliens! ALIENS!
They’ve announced that the terrifying suicide attacks on our country, resulting in massive death and destruction, two new wars, a poisonous atmosphere of fear, and abrogations of civil liberties not seen in our lifetimes, were the result of:
A Failure of Imagination.
Yeah! Where the fuck was TIM BURTON when we needed him? We need more IMAGINATIVE bureaucrats and apparatchiks! We need military intelligence officers who DREAM! We need to IMAGINEER this country into EPCOT!!
How much did I pay for this bullshit?
Naming of Parts
Vixi duellis nuper idoneus
Et militavi non sine glori
Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
And today we have naming of parts.
This is the lower sling swivel. And this
Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see
When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel,
Which in your case you have not got. The branches
Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,
Which in our case we have not got.
This is the safety-catch, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easily
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms
Are fragile and motionless, never letting anyone see
Any of them using their finger.
And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.
