The Universe spasms again. Subway ads intrude into realm of unprinted. The air solidifies.
- a poster on a platform says “The men in black suits are real. Join the MI believers ‘”(sure enough, there is a site for that.)
- another one warns “Be careful what you uncover. THE KILLINGS”. i don’t even want to google that.
- when the train finally came in and I got in a tucked-away seat, an ad stared straight at me. it depicted azure waters of a warm beach, tropical greenery and the words “Your happy place may be a balmy Ahh°F”. and then at the bottom of the ad, in 3-points-bigger font, it screamed: “DIE!”
- hastily, i looked away, at the floor, at the feet of a guy sitting next to me. he was shod in a pair of olive-green keds. around the heels the keds were decorated with a sentence: the war is over. in the next minute, the train came to a stop, the doors opened and I saw a poster on a platform’ wall. it said: The War Is Coming.
Damned if you do……..
Better enjoy what you can while you still can. It’s coming.
Seriously, that sort of illustrates what I’ve been feeling lately. Things are weird. Weirder than I can remember in my almost 60 years.
They are. And a lot of people would just say I’m out of my mind…
