Civil

Civility does not mean you get your way.

Be very careful who you wish to take rights from. You may get your way. Your rights may also be next.  

It is funny how that works.  We always tend to think of our way, as the right and only way. 

It/They have had their fill.

the internet has been where most of the world has exposed themselves

in so many ways

we learned so much about the ways of the world

they learned everything about us

but when they shut it down

after all this rigmarole

it is because they have what they need

and have moved on to even more invasive procedures.

Notice the soft pastels...you are getting sleepy...very sleepy...when I snap my fingers, you will awaken and remember nothing, but incorporate the subliminals into your everyday life.   You are welcome. 

my compliments to the engineer

Whatever age we are in or becoming, it is being beautifully orchestrated, and has an intriguingly devilish puppet show.  

I wonder what that's like...to be duly noted.

4 AM Legos

They have discontinued  our dogs dogfood. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It seems she enjoys some of the substitute brand, but tosses the ones she disapproves of.  Just flips them into an ever widening pile that gets kicked across the room. It's a situation that is reminiscent of a child playing with legos and not picking up their mess.  Sooner or later, I -being a middle aged male, will have to walk across that floor to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. We all know those blood curdling screams...the profanities...of hearing your father stepping on legos at 4 am. And you remember the pain when you repeated the genetic faux pas  when you stepped on them, explaining the situation to the officers on call who understood and were concerned for your safety. Of course,this always happens at 4 am. Nothing good happens at 4 am.
As I lay here in bed pondering the situation, counting the ounces of fluid I drank in before bedtime , I reason that stepping on dogfood surely isn't as painful as being impaled by legos. Maybe I need some slippers. Good slippers.
And with that happy thought of imaginary foot armor,  our hero drifts off into the world of dreams....
