Transitive Worries

Jan 13, 2008 02:39

More people should dye their hair white and pretend that they are their own grandparents. I think this would be a societal improvement. We could put talcum powder on our faces and wander up and down the streets like ghosts or memories. You wouldn't have to talk if you didn't want to, and then only in a quiet breaking of your larynx.

Do you think that there's some sort of vocal hymen nobody knows about because the cry of birth breaks it in every child? Some mark or membrane or hole that closes when that first ugly wail wrenches out of the underdeveloped throat of a new ball of chemicals?
Even dream machines break down sometimes.

Cheers
