Jocular Juxtapositions

Blog post # 102:

Not much today.

Weirdly Summing To Two


Do You Sea It?


This last picture is not serious art. I just like humorously surreal juxtapositions -- in this case between fish and eyes. In a much earlier post to this blog, for example, I published a picture of a fish as a helicopter. Same deal.

Well, the poll is closed: Let's review the results:
Question: What do you think the shape of Everything is?
One vote for each of the following:
Multi-dimensional sphere.
Shapeless/ blurry. (That was my own vote.)
Higher-dimensional potato chip/ saddle
Splattered egg.
Something else.

No votes for any of the other options.

Thanks for voting.

Okay, a poem. (Dag nabbit!)

I wrote this yesterday. It relates to the top picture above.

Quartered Extraneousnesses
-----------------------

These bulbs do split and pair, and then they
Are the hollow creases of conical cloth.
Then they are the empty folds of such
A division into duplication and cutting shape.
These knobs do parallel their divergence
From root to arc above. And they
Each conflict with equations so truthful.

Yes, they sum to two and are yet weird.

They are yet wound into their severing, surely.
Void and substance dichotomize and
Are so halved again. However, these
Quartered extraneousnesses are but dreamt of in
Labyrinths, in riddles concocted from alphabets.
Yes, added is this plurality of minimization.
But it is subtly to be explained and counted.
It is surely to be split upon those apexes,
Upon those limbs of termination knotted,
Upon the ascension of theoretical things
Rising, diminished, yet strung neurologically.


----------------------------

Okay, time to get silly.

I like the fact that the word "sugar" rhymes with the word "booger".

Anyone for booger sugar?

No?

I saw both of your comments, Pine, but for some reason one of them you sent me is not showing up. I'll try to find it, or maybe it is just late. And yes, I do make the pictures myself, using Photoshop.

Oh, I see, the other comment was sent to my post "Unspectacular". Never mind...
