Daddy Bear Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 doesn't it make strangers of us all they hardly recognize you now your dropped defense for recompense in what your heart allows to enter and might there be some truth in saying ignorance is bliss it takes a kind of fool to find some magic in a kiss but I have never known a feeling even close to this I have with you so call me fool I went to a supermarket on my lunch break today. I think it was a Vons or something. Ten thousand different items for sale, all colorful and eye-catching in their ten thousand spotless and dust-free corporate-designed disposable containers. But I'm like, no. I just want one thing. I just want an apple. So I go to the produce section and I pick up an apple. But not just any apple. A perfect apple. I cupped it in my hand and it fit like we were made for each other. I took it up to the express lane. Fifteen items or less. One is less than fifteen. So I had my rights. But the lady who rang me up looked at me like I might be crazy. Clearly, nobody else had the same idea. Nobody else had come for just one thing. "I'm not crazy," my eyes shouted back. "I have the perfect apple. I spent forty-five cents and I'm the happiest man in the world. They're all crazy for buying nonfat, cholesterol free, high-fiber, low sugar antibacterial cereal. It's oats. Plain old oats. They're paying through the nose for it, and they bought it because it came in a spotless and dust-free corporate-designed container with red ink on it. And because they didn't want people to think they were crazy for wanting just one thing." I took my apple and we took our leave. doesn't it make strangers of us all they hardly recognize me now a bridge of sighs massed butterflies and feeling I could drown in pleasure and might there be some goof in seeing cooler heads prevail the warmer ones get all the sun and thereby hangs the tale oh, we were so impetuous the night that I unveiled my love for you two little fools mmmmmh two little fools 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
