The World Is My Idea

Just thinking out loud...
Perception creates reality.
What we see is what we believe.
But the reality we see is produced, man-made, according to the dominant ideology, so it is artificial. Fake.
The societies we live in are as real as reality TV.
If I was watching this on television, I would switch off.
Is that the time? I should analyse this further but the reality is that I have to rush out to buy my Team GB Olympics souvenir scarf.

Give Me A Sign

So I'm between jobs -again- and I'm taking my head for a walk.
I'm looking for thoughts, for ideas, for inspirations.
Then I see some graffiti.
Fuck everything and become a pirate
I stop and re-read it.
Fuck everything and become a pirate
And there it is.
Steve Jobs once said, "Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?"
The signs are there if you look for them.
How you act on them is something else...

Lost Time

Before the factory gate
the worker suddenly stops
the good weather has tugged him by the coat
and as he turns round
and looks at the sun
all red all round
smiling in its burning sky
he winks his eye
familiarly
Say my friend Sun
don't you find
it's rather stupid
to give such a day
to a boss?
