Barren Illusion
"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." - Henry David Thoreau

She was angry for looking like a female trailer-trash version of Bob Barker
domingo, 25 de agosto, 2008
I was walking down Madison Avenue when I saw a very old woman with a very unfortunate hairstyle -- the mullet. It was a light, silvery gray and it contrasted heavily with her dark, tanned skin. I averted my eyes quickly to something else, a building or a public pay phone, I don't remember, but it's rude to stare. I noticed a movement from the corner of my eye from the old woman, but I didn't really think about it. As I approached the crosswalk, my eyes roved back to the woman because she was practically in front of me. She had her middle finger ready and poised, the nail touching the bottom of her chin as if drawing some "fuck-you" power. No sooner had I turned my attentions back to her that she just launched the finger from her chin. Was she cursing me? Madison Avenue? Manhattan? The world?



I've lived in NYC all my life and never have I received so many flipped birds from strangers before! I feel like a true New Yorker now.

Odd thing to say, I know, but...
I love your syntax.

Of course I love the diction.

I just like the Syntax more. Each sentence flows into the next seamlessly and each fit into the overall entry like a jigsaw puzzle. Although the first-person narrative approach puts me, the reader, in the scene, it's diction that truly makes the entry. "Unfortunate," rather than simply saying "bad," or the way you chose "contrasted" as opposed to "different" and..

Okay, I'm making too much of this. I.. yeah.

Some people are just overly sensitive. They want to stand out, but they don't want attention. It doesn't make sense.

Also, RYC:
Yeah, technically they bark, but I always call it yelling.

Wow... that old woman is really... just wow.. I don't think I've ever met an old woman who'd reprimand me for thinking that her hairstyle is weird.
