Birds of A Missing Feather

This world is but a canvas to our imagination. - Thoreau

i carried van gogh's easel

mixed his paints

peeled potatoes and counted stars in the night sky with him

stuffed his pipe

even untied his shoes for him when he was too drunk

but did nothing when he asked me to help find his ear

probably because when he asked, i couldn't hear

Author's Note

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Thoreau

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

Now, here's a mystery. So that wasn't his ear? I'm probably confused. Or ignorant. Both. I do recall that Christmas card he received. "Merry Christmas and happy New ear". (Moan)

[Pete]

we look at other people when we should be looking in the mirror at ourselves arrogance spreads thickly. we're all one step from humility.
