Opposable Thumb
Our love affair with our mind, which freed us.
But I remind you of this humble digit,
But I remind you of this humble digit,
Which put us on our feet,
So our grasp could reach higher,
Breathing Fire
If I could build a castle
Post sent’nels breathing fire
Would you wear glass slippers
And deign to call me sire?
Post sent’nels breathing fire
Would you wear glass slippers

If we could live a fairy tale
With spells, I would acquire
For you the gold that glitters
Our true love would inspire
Now we are five
Five
We were six
Now we are five
I just need something…
Something to focus on
Something other than what was
A bit more vibrance, please

Be made of iron
Steel
Be made of steel
Be made of steel
Or iron
Yes, even better
Be made of iron
Iron ages
Rusts
Like the lines etched
In an old man’s face
Post no ills
It wasn’t a completely conscious process, but the world and everything in it has grown increasingly beautiful since April Fool’s Day, 1994 — the last day of my Microsoft tenure and the first day of… I’m still not sure what. Amazing what happens when you stop seeking the ugliness, stop cleverly attacking it and the people it attracts, stop praising yourself for your cleverness.
