Rippled cloud covered the sky like miles of grey wrinkled skin. It concealed blue sky and sun. The cloud was dense and immovable. All was under overcast. There were no shadows or highlights. Trees were deliciously green. There was barely a wind. The trees were completely still. Vapour rose from a green vent. Grey gravel remained intact. Birdsong around me was more than it has been lately. Their voices reverberated. The small light was absent today.  Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

One or two spots of rain, not enough to leave a mark, but gradually it increased with raindrops falling on my head. It pattered on my green army jacket with its 5 red moon phase emblem and pink smear. Crows were cawing in the distance, but they stopped, it was clear. I loved the faint smell of rain. The sky darkened to the north. Orb of Sun beamed briefly but dark clouds swallowed it quickly. The air vibrated with a fine mist of rain that gave wet freckles to everything. I observed the movement within. Dark green was her mountain of love. Sweet lovebirds chirped as they sped under the amazing waves of grey. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

Yesterday was Museum day. Today I noticed fragments of crystal-shaped broken glass in the doorway to the apartment building on my way to the schoolyard. There were 3 pink beads on the ground as well and 2 blue flower petals on the front lawn. I put them in my pocket. The cross-guard told me he had to clean broken glass from his curb. I thought he meant broken eyeglasses because I had problems fixing my glasses this weekend.  (It was funny when a Korean student described his difficult time shopping for glasses). The crossguard told me where to get mine repaired. For now they’re wired together with a little screw that’s the wrong size but they don’t look much like the Canadian weather station on the Mars lander Phoenix. Lionel said he was reading The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment. A passive mastery no doubt.  We talked about Krishnamurti and some Theosophy. Of course, a philosopher completely opposed to this would be “The Objectivist” Ayn Rand. It started raining in the schoolyard, as we got out and so the kids were told to head in. Many of them wanted to play in the rain. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

My opposing wrestlers love her fighting duel. My blending heroes love her black strategy dreams. My political storms love her red dissension. My martial arts love her rape resistance. My volcano erupting fire loves her earthquake lightning match. My business risking loves her competition testing. My frustration headache loves her play mastering. My labour strife loves her negotiation. My angry quarrel loves her feud discord. My Darwinian evoution loves her snakes coiled around a victim. My championship contest loves her sports power play. My enemy prevention loves her submarines. I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “If any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” –John 12:26. I love Anna Dirksen.
