Contrast of the bright and hues

When fate returns to claim its dues

Projected thoughts into the eyes

Imagined so they must be lies

Might be there, but is out of sight

Okay, now look at these:

It stands to reason that the scavenging omnivores we are must have at some point tried eating what was growing on the dead thing in addition to the dead thing itself. Anyway – mushrooms! A gift from my sister. Biologists, right?

The Tenants of Cinematic Selection (rev. 092024-1)

Another revision was required, following a partial viewing of Joker. Asocial violence, mental illness, and disturbing criminal activities were only some of the reasons behind the movie interruption.
