The Magnifier

Holds the sun
And still a glass in front of that
And everyday the magnifier watches us burn
Our twists and turns

Every night it takes its breath
We would dream while it rests
But instead we'll study hard at night
Because we know in the morning
The magnifier wants to fight .......


And once again put us through some impassible/impossible test.

you have to be scared before you can be brave.

my friend told me that as it was told to him by another friend, and is probably from somebody more famous, but who cares, it's really good.

hey Brian, I had a similar one happen last fall:

an ant
under a magnifying glass
and a child discovering
the power of the sun

Wow, I like how that makes me think a little more about mine.  Thank you for posting that.  


a child
under a magnifying
and a man discovering
the power of his father

a man
under a magnifying
and a god discovering
the power of his image

a s o/u n
under a magnifying
and an ant discovering
the power of his fear

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you...

Been listening to Madonna (the kick-ass album, not the rather lame 'artist') lately?

Anyway, this is Pennylane NYC's fault...

"You grow up, you work half a century, you get a golden handshake, you rest a couple of years and you're dead. And the only thing that makes that crazy ride worthwhile is 'Did I enjoy it? What did I learn? What was the point?' That's where I come in. You've seen how I react to people, make them feel good, make them think that anything's possible. If I make them laugh along the way, sue me. And I don't do it so they turn round and go 'Thank you David for the opportunity, thank you for the wisdom, thank you for the laughs.' I do it so, one day, someone will go 'There goes David Brent. I must remember to thank him.'"

No, I was thinking about watching this on DVD again, one of my fav movies!  :)

Mmm, can't see the picture.
There's a Trail Of Dead song called Prince With A Thousand Enemies, hence the confusion. Maybe it was inspired by the movie.

[dragonboy]

Mmm, can't see the picture.

I've tried another poster (Watership Down)  :)

I have a couple of &YKUBTTOTD albums but not Madonna...worth buying?

So, the prince is actually a rabbit?

Prince With A Thousand Enemies is a song from their self-titled debut now that I've looked it up. That one sounds like a demo.

'Madonnna' is a really fun record. Pretty raw stuff. But there's no way I'm telling you it's worth buying. Your wife mailed me and told me to stop saying that  ;)

It is indeed  ;D

That's an awesome pitch!
I shall look into it  ;D

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think;
because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there
was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than
when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
                                         
A.A. Milne

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.

-Wallace Stevens (from "Thirteen Ways Of Looking At A Blackbird")

[jones]

"You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?"



-Joe Dirt
