I told you the moths were taking over poetry

They are, the beasts and it isn't just because I forgot to take my anti psychotic medication. I was on the tube yesterday reading my book (Amy Clampitt and she's very good) and a moth landed on the book and wouldn't fly off (I could have flicked it but I wanted to see what its intentions were).

I took photographic evidence to prove it to you all. I tried to get some of the passengers in the background so you didn't think I staged it at home with specially trained performance moths.

On the subject of cameraphones: didja know that on Camden High st. you can get one of these for £39.99 - WITH - £30.00 of talk credit on it. So in effect the thing costs you £9.99. My ex (Suicide Sue) was around yesterday and was showing me all the things it can do. It can video stuff, pick up TV channels, play games and on vibrator mode bring a woman to climax. I know - she - showed me. God, made redundant by a piece of technology. Mind you wiping off the humectant might damage the batteries. I wonder if it might work for men? I suppose one could protect it with a femidom.

 

Yeah ok. During the next four days you're going to be amazed at how many times you see the number 900. Trust me. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet

No sooner did I read this thread, I picked up a book and It's brought to my attention that humans' search for the divine may be an illusion, "like a moth drawn to a star." But this was written by Colin Wilson in 1970. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet

In 1993 I was on holiday in France. One evening while walking outside I noticed a moth fluttering just inches above me. Imagine my surprise when I realised it wasn't a nearby overhead moth , but a bat about 20 feet up. I've carried that moth-to-bat moment with me ever since. It was like I was violently plucked from the universe I understood and flung into another where all my previous assumptions could be cruelly overturned. I wonder if there is a lesson here for us all. Could it be some of our nearby 'moths' are really distant 'bats'?
I saw a bat last night and thought it was a grasshopper. Saying that - I had been violently plucked from the universe I understood and flung into another where all my previous assumptions were cruely overturned. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet
