This evening, around sunset, I walked around my neighborhood a little bit. It was nice. The weather here is just wonderful. And these are a few of the things I looked at and took pictures of.
BIG SALE
YARD
SALE
This Sat.! 8-12
Cottonwood Rd.
Rocks and some little bits of green weeds coming up... and shadows, little pieces of dirt and big pieces of dirt... that blue, blue thing, that wonderful splash of bright blue, is a lighter. Gosh, that's the most gorgeous lighter I've ever seen!
Tree branches and ground and sky and park and houses and oh baby up close up close up close! It's gets all tangly in there! It comes out at you, like swish swish swish, and it goes straight into your face, like ffft ffft ffft, all full of spikes.
Some pipes and poles and knobs inside a tan metal cage to the right. Strange! Terrific! And a hard concrete rectangle sticking out of the earth to the left. Strange! Terrific! It's got a dark gray lid. And these guys share their lives with each other. Chance has brought them together. They are boxcar hobos. They go with the flow. They are breathing, and reproducing, very slowly. The one on the left is surly. I can feel it.
More things. The things are more.
This is ground control to Major Tom.
How many hands touched this metal? How many tongues licked the envelopes that go in the giant metal compartments you see here. And letters put in the slots, by hands. And keys inserted, and touching metal, and pressing against, and how much emotion comes out of those boxes? And how much boredom, and drudgery.Sincerely,

I liked the Grafitti on the mail boxes.
I get the Space Oddity reference, but I don't get the connection with the picture.
