Take That

My bishop looks like Robbie Williams.
I love the band Take That.
"Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for/ but that's the time to be the first one on the dance floor/ we go from green to blue to gold to black/ breathe deep. who knows how long this will last. "
Sometimes my mind feels like a whirling dervish.
And i just want it to stop.
so i write, to make it shut up for a while.
but it starts chattering away again.
did i say sometimes? i meant all the time.

lately i've been wondering why my top 5 favorite books were published before 1880.
i've wondered that since i was 17.
they speak to me. relatable. fiction published now is... boring. easy. too much BAM in too short a time. too much of WHAT is said, rather than HOW it's said. they don't trust the reader enough.
kind of like politics.

lately i've been thinking about beatrice. and benedick. i need a benedick. i am beatrice. "we are too wise to woo peaceably."
"but then there was a star danced. And under that was I born."
"you always end with a jade's trick. I know you of old."

i think i've been jade tricked. the fun is payback.

was there a point to this?
je ne sais pas.
