Tom
When I submit a comment to your posts it does not appear. Why is this. Am I blacklisted due to my continuing dominance or something?
Regards

ahahah, seems to work for me. think it’s because you had a whole lot of text in your comment. It was held for moderation, I approved it just then, you should be able to see it now.

oh, did anyone follow the ‘just be me’ link above, and read down on “it’s not your camera that matters”? ah, hello -

“Jesus Christ’s dad Joseph built a masterpiece of a wooden staircase in a church in New Mexico in 1873, and does anyone care what tools he used? Search all you want, you’ll find plenty of scholarly discussion but never of the tools.”

um, how old exactly was Joseph when he build this staircase?! lets say he was at least 20 years old when he had JC, and JC was at least 30 when he got famous and we started counting years AD.. that would make old Joe 1923 YEARS OLD, and still sprightly enough to travel to mexico, no airtravel for you. who cares what tools he used to build a staircase, why the fuck hasnt he been speaking up over the past 2000 years of theological debate! I mean, he was there, he could have cleared a few things up along the way….

yeah, how cool is that?! she only applied to see what they said when they rejected her, so she was amazed when she got an interview, and then they contacted her to say they’d love to have her, and have adapted the initial project proposal to incluse stuff she’s interested in! still waiting for the official paperwork but should be no worries..

I’m flat out trying to get everything finished, which is a growing mountain with obsticals creating vicious circles; eye infection = break glasses. sore knee = sore back. working on uni stuff = not getting paid to work. perfectionist = essays never finished. late essays = panic and carelessness. panic = stress. stress = eye infection, sore back, late essays, panic, um, eye infection, panic and stress = feel sorry for self and can’t be bothered, eat icecream and watch Australian Idol final/CSI Everywhere/movie-already-seen instead of working on late essays.

= stress about late essays! (and angry at bad TV). Aaaaarrrgh!

Great-Billed Heron

Daintree River, Queensland, Australia

Dawn stretches
from a single color:
charcoal from balsam,
blue to the grace that draws
nineteen cervical vertebrae
in a liquid line.

Edges of wings that once
held back a longer sky
smooth crests of hills
and now in landing tuck
and fold the wind away.

He hides in the open.
Obvious. Evolved.
Waits like dignity,
disappears only to frogs,
fish. They see one leg
still and think rush
or reed:
nothing fearful.

Water whorls spin
slowly inside and out
behind the slight
obstruction of his leg.
Slack water, the canvas
of unsteady waver. Meander.
Swell. The slight wave curls,
small tongue. Fixed breath

then stab
stiletto and no splash.
