For a few weeks now I’ve been working on a deep post about two words: Value and Property. They are the nuggets that have been rattling around my mind on an ever more frequent basis. It’s almost as if I’ve been waiting for a revelation to bubble up to the tip of my tongue, but alas all I’ve produced is distraction from my soon to be written subject. These two words represent things that are so abstract they probably cause Picasso to wince in his grave, yet they are used so casually one would think they are as simple as any thing.
I realized what I was actually waiting for was to start playing the key board. I know the ideas are in my head like little marshmallows starting to scab over. If I don’t start dancing in black and white the ideas are bound to go up in a puff of smoke. It is the pen that will toast them into a tasty treat begging for digestion from anyone who’s acquired a taste for the brain manifeast.
well, since ‘wince’ was not in his vocabulary i went looking for pablo at rest because he did value his rest. sure enuf, the old seer directs his gaze from a french castle seemingly situated on private property– Chateau de Vauvenargues.
I think Jack Nicholson said it best in As good as it gets: “People who talk in metaphors should scrub my crotch.”
see, he didn’t value his property
