cmxxxiii

This is too much pressure.   I
meant to wonder about the audacity
of quantifying the ‘bigness’ or the
‘smallness’ of talent.

I’m smart but not audacious.   (Is
a big splash in a small pond better
than a small splash in a big one?)
What’s with verbalizing, anyway?

The question comes more down
to ‘cult status’ – endless arguments
with best friends who, in their
indie hipnesses are posing just as
loud as a silver-plated fashion
mag on a Borders rack.

Getting bigger by becoming
smaller, My Hero.   If I were
trying to say something I’d
explain myself, right?   It
goes something like that,

falling asleep at the east end
of Whaleship Plaza with a
bird (small, no further
description) singing in my ear.
