2001-04-05 My forefinger actually landed upon the word must. As in, I must do my taxes? I must answer e-mails? I must work harder? I must acquire a mate? What is this, a universe governed by mysteriously sentient forces with an interest in individual destinies? AND a tendency to nag? Dear Universe, I'm rubber and you're glue. And next comes fire�specifically, the phrase "between two fires," which is defined as "Being attacked from two sources or sides simultaneously." This is a phrase I've never heard; but the condition it represents is both a common and (by. . .COINCIDENCE?) a current one of mine. It's one I conceptualize in more Sadeian terms, though. One more. So three times I close my eyes and attempt to flip the pages with my thumb, but each time I go to bury the jab it skids off the same unyielding Indo-European entry�the book just wouldn't budge from its roots. So eu. To dress. (In different clothes every day? Never!) Also: lacking, empty, want, vain, vanish, waste. I am a grown-up. I will choose another word. |
