the classic twilight zone episode “nightmare at 20,000 feet”
starring a very young william shatner
inspired this peeps scene.
the black and white effect is part of the work;
this was not altered after the photograph was taken.
original scene with shatner from the twilight zone classic.

watching and wondering and learning.

the happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist.
for man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

going to the movies
with one of my
six little grandies,
baby r
for her very first time.
she was all dressed up
so fancy
in
new sparkly too-big blue shoes with tiny clicking heels
shiny movie star jacket
polka dot tights
cornflower blue ruffly skirt
tumbling down curly hair
with
booster seat
popcorn
gummies
soda
and
full of so much excitement.
we were the only two in the whole theater
and
even if we weren’t
it would have felt like we were.

a husky?
polar bear?
sea lion?
penguin?
not sure exactly sure what breed this is,
but i’d be happy to rescue him any day.

ks, my colleague and friend across the hall
was thinking ahead
and
preparing for the school year
when ordering the food
for her classroom’s fishtank.
there were two size options available.
hmmm… she thought,
i may as well get the one
that looks just a little bigger
it costs just a little more
but i won’t have to buy it again
until later in the year.
once it arrived,
much to her surprise
it was a gargantuan version
of the little fish food jar
we’re all so used to seeing.
it kind of looked
like an overblown prank prop.
but it was real.
i think it will last quite a while.
i think it may outlast her little fish.
and even if she retires in 30 years,
it may outlast her teaching career.
it may be her legacy.

my eldest grandson
asked me to join a book club
that would include
just the two of us
and
the dtc
(deep thought club)
as well.
i’m very flattered .
though i’m behind in my reading
and
was very proud of myself
when i finally finished my book
and we had a good discussion about it.
then he told me there are 3 more in the series
and
i have my work cut out to keep up with him.
we’ve had many deep thought conversations
and i’ve tried to have some answers
but he usually has the best ideas
and
he’s 8 years old.
i’m very flattered that these are such exclusive clubs
and i was asked to be a member.
i’ll do my best.
the answer i found is you stay away from
the people who make fun of you,
and you join these ad hoc groups who understand
your craziness.
