home these days.

Hey diddle diddle,
homethesedays1
The cat and the fiddle,
homethesedays2
The cow …
homethesedays3
… jumped over the moon;
homethesedays2
The little dog laughed …
homethesedays2
… to see such fun,
homethesedays2
And the dish ran away …
homethesedays2
… with the spoon.

The colourful drawing shown in the first and second picture of this rhyme is not my work. I only framed it. It’s made by Haneul Choi, printed on a postcard for an exhibit of South Korean art students at RMIT University in 2007, where I found it. I put it in my bathroom so I can look at it everyday. I like it because it feels like a mockumentary, and tastes like a box of blueberries. I tried emailing Haneul Choi on her/his seventeenth birthday and didn’t receive any reply. I wish her/him well and best of lucks for her/his art studies. May s/he become a great artist one day.

bad.

Negativity is like a drop of black ink falling into a glass of clear water. You feel it falling. You hear the subtle microsplash. You can see it forming a cloud. You become aware of the cloud, and try to run away from it. Eventually, however, as dry as you are, that drop of blank ink will disperse. No, it will not disappear. The water is grey now. Another drop. Another cloud, another dispersion. Greyer. You can only try to cope, and wait for everything to flush out.

Drink a lot. It might help.

During twilight you note that your mind works in layers; not even parallel. This one stubborn layer will betray you. It will, that stubborn rebel within you. While the others recede to let you sleep, this one suddenly becomes clear as day, and it wakes you up – melatonin defeated. Then there it is, dancing on the street. It takes over you. You become it. You dance on the street. You think it is you. Consider yourself lucky; this one might be positive.

Drink a lot, and hope that water dissolves. In the meanwhile, just blame it on the hormones, and smile a lot.
