“Mors sola fatetur quantula sint hominum corpuscula.” Juvenal said this.
He wrote mostly in Latin. In English it means:
“Death alone proclaims how little the little bodies of humans are.”

I am looking at you. You are looking at me. We are looking at each other. Two people are looking at each other. I am looking at two people looking at each other.
Whoot whoot.

Day dream
You said “It is snowing.” I said
“Obviously on the basis of this evidence we can deduce that Hesiod was in fact possessed in his stomach however this is by no means to say that he in fact ever existed.”
Someone gets pushed into a snow bank. Gravity did it. Gravity
switches into reverse and the snow is falling backwards back
into the sky back
into heaven it carries us with it high above the wide-wayed earth.
We are the mother fucking Olympian Muses.
This is the news and I’m the news man and I’m here to tell you that there are not enough words and that the words that there are are breaking down in nervous break downs and they can’t handle the pressure. The pressure of not enough.
Meet Sophocles. He’s just back from the dead. He’s actually in the parlor right now having an ice cream with Diego. He loves ice cream. Maybe we should let him finish his ice cream. Never mind that you can meet Aeschylus. Meet Aeschylus. He is also just back from the dead. I’ll just ring him up and see… Whats that?
A tortoise?
Not again.
Surely he just?
That’s alright because you can meet Euripides instead. Meet Euripides! He’s still just back from the dead and always up for a chat. Aren’t you Euri?
