Use one of these photographs to inspire your writing today and take you to a place far away from the everyday.
observe
the noble human
seen here in his natural habitat
seated on the comfy chair
eating fried sliced potatoes and
watching television
a testament to spurious creationism
comfortable in his superiority and
underwear
the human has long outgrown
ancient rituals of
the dances for fire and rain
it has become an afront to his
sensibilities
although he will watch his gods (called
celebrities)
dance on the television
but, as a mantra
tough guys don't dance
and it's all survival of the fittest
observe
the blue footed booby
seen here
dancing with abandon
shifting it's weight from foot to foot
rockin' out on the lava rocks of the
Galapagos Islands
they are the dream soldiers of Darwin's
army
flying
diving
hitting the shore long enough to dance
take a lover
make more blue footed dancing fools
and the boobies don't care
this is ritual
survival
it's only natural
natural as in selection
observe
the noble human
watching his flashing pictures
drooling in his genetic dead end
Have we learned nothing from Kevin
Bacon.
