Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 04, 2017

Don’t ask me how I know him, but I know the guy third from the left on the top row with the tiny, narrow head. He always walks his dog on my street and lets his mutt do his business in my yard. I really hate that guy.

My mindscape can beat up your landscape.

What goes up, must come down.

The mind is a squadron of simpletons.

C’mon. There has to be at least one valley among all those peaks.

I see a conjoined hyperstimulated mindscaper in the middle of that crowd. Two heads; one body.

On top of spaghetti, all covered with sauce…

Living on the peaks leaves you with thin air and an overwhelming view. Valleys give you a place to catch your breath and think things through.

BOOM Laka Laka Laka

BOOM Laka Laka Laka

I want to take you HIGHER

Clowns to the left of me

Jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

You just described my every waking moment.

Wait a minute… I like to dally in the valley from time to time!

FYI… I seen the New York Times now offers crossword puzzles on line.

From Wikipedia:

-Cox Models is one of the hobby industry’s oldest companies and is noted for its production of miniature model internal-combustion engines.

-In January 1996, Estes Industries purchased Cox Hobbies, Incorporated and relocated operations Penrose, Colorado.

-Estes-Cox Corporation was purchased by Hobbico in January 2010. Hobbico is based in Champaign, Illinois.

At least now we can be sure that the champagne is not flat, though Illinois mostly is.

Toss the ecstasy and start living in ecstasy.

Some things are better left undone.

I’m trying to develop a theory for why this crowd of people, all dressed in devotional white gowns, would willingly hyperstimulate their hearts and go through their allotted number of heartbeats (and thus die) more quickly than everyone else.

Some of those tombstones are so old, the crosses on top of them have worn down.

The caverns of my mind care not for peaks and valleys, it’s more about stalactites and stalagmites.

The acoustics in here are great, if only I could get everyone to shut up.

Carry On,

I suppose one may be thankful for being hypostimulated and seeing both peaks and valleys. It is a quieter (attn: 6TURTLE9) but more nuanced existence. I relish (attn: RADISH) the day and all its lanx satura (a satiric plate full)….

Enlightenment is at it’s peak..
