Drodbar: Yes, I confess, Burroughs is one of my favourite writers. Mind you, I like meadows, too. I’d probably just bring some cigs, booze and a notebook with me.

2ndhandsoul: I’m glad you liked and can say so. :)

Lovely. I think I’m somewhere in that meadow tipping cows. All their comments might be my own, but I think I can say I liked it all by myself.

Oh Ani we do take you seriously. I do at least.

Parallax Shift, well, you’ve gone back to your William Burroughs truth-lies-in-the-toilet-bowl style, haven’t you? Not really my scene - I haven’t got the stomache for it personally. It expresses and communicates keenly, but it makes me want to lie down in a nice meadow somewhere.

AUW: Make sure you stick your hand all the way out where it can see you when it arrives. I’d hate for you to miss it and have to start over.

Hg: Hello and welcome. He does have a way of bringing you back down to earth, doesn’t he?

Z: Mr Beckett, is that you? I just love your work…

Marcelle: Gosh, thanks. I used to dream of being an astronomer. The reality is that I was utter crap at maths. But please, don’t cry because if you do, I will too and they really won’t take me seriously then (not that they do now, mind you).

I like astronomy and its imagery, in case you didn’t get that from my therapeutic trips to the planetarium. This was absolutely one of the most amazingly beautiful posts I’ve seen in ages. The universe’s conceit for anticlimax itself. Truly, cosmic pathos. Brilliant work, Ani. I don’t know whether to stargaze or cry.

No, don’t give up. Fail better, next time.

God, I see what you mean: universal reason, stellar movements, silver dust across the sky, crystalline distances... And then Mr Unreliable Witness injects a little gravity into the situation too. There must be something in the water.

Me too.

I have been standing here waiting for the zero gravity ‘vomit comet’ to turn up for three days now, and the only thing that keeps arriving is a number 73 to Stoke Newington.
