88: ribbons of memory

early springing
popping around me
 just now




     blossoming branches singing
      with the may day ribbons
              of my memory

the picnics are over
the cycle continues

70=== PAPARAZZI :::::::::: you just never know when they will show up!!

lurking about

in the dark of night

in the back of galleries

at the edge of your group

trying to look like a fence post thinking she won't be noticed!

ignoring boundaries!

leading others astray...

posing as a zen goddess with camera under meditaion robe.

the art of influence
spreading
KEEN joy
from toe to toe
hearing only the honks
of huge geese and swans
and the loud crunch
of our soles

a full moon on a dark night,
and a smooth road

TEXTING: another artescape connector:

RENEE:'in backyard. woodpecker pecking on YOUR seedpods. sound of rattling seeds. tap. tap. no camera.'
NEVA: 'honestly. woodpeckers always after my real estate. here they just have at it on the house. NOW my seed pods, too! NOT CUTE.'

which is why woodpeckers did not make it into my "bird book of wisdom" that i made for Max this christmas!!

first of all, i have a very big QUESTION.
renee's suggestion to define verification words that are needed to post a comment (after someone else's post)was a fun one to think about. but when i started thinking about this, i realized i long ago wondered about this whole process. i've had a burning question:
the question is WHY?
why do we need to retype this code?
it can't be for security.
it can't be to verify who we are.
it COULD be to just aggravate us.
i think that's it.
first we are expected to
try to SEE the letters/numbers/code, and seeing it is usually very difficult, and then retype them. if we can't, a different stretched out, wavy, non-sensical glob of symbols appears, and these also mean nothing. and if all this is too hard for us, we can click on the 'wheelchair' and see what happens. i've never tried that.

who do i look to for an answer?

meanwhile, here are some of these encryptions and what i think they could MEAN:

examples: possible meanings:
uncowi: thin, not fat
dedness: code for depressed
inessi: guilty of decadence
elseedi: the derelictical
effori: easily accomplished
reosen: an excuse
ousticat directed to leave
adgesso: to prime surface before painting
