I live in the Arctic Circle

away from the treacherous world

hunting the midnight sun
with only a net
woven of coincidence
and grief

for a moment there... i thought you’ve gone pop

grief finds resonance in grief. so you might actually find someone (who has a messianic complex and wants to save you from a life of dour and angsty poetry) who can identify with your sorrows or can just empathize. and you do express your sorrows well in powerful verses.

there’s no such thing as coincidence. it’s really sappy but you know what they say... if it’s meant to happen or you want it badly enough, the universe conspires to bring it to fruition. i don’t know exactly how... maybe, there will be tectonic plate movements which happily re-arrange the continents for you, happily eliminating the trivial concern on distance. i’ll let you know if i could come up with a better story... maybe something involving the time-space continuum to make your love story more challenging and memorable.

oh, this is beautiful but the lines don't rhyme so... off with the shirt. please.

and here i was already at chapter 3 of your beautiful love story! not familiar with the film and sounds tragic so I don’t think i’d look it up. the film only touches you where you are vulnerable so yes, this could still be about you.

not entirely convinced about that conspiracy theory anyway. i just thought it would make you feel better in your supposed hopelessness.

well, now... i don’t remember a rule that says you only get to strip at your convenience, chickie. you might've liven up the atmosphere for your office mates if you dared.

Polar bears aren't treacherous, they're quite sincere about ripping your belly open, biting your face off, and crunching through bone and muscle.

In the modern era being able to run steadily for 26 miles is of limited use - unless you're pursued by a particularly persistent, but somewhat slow lion. Even reading Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, while enjoyable, didn't encourage me to take up the sport.

Forgot to feed the animals? You must be joking. It's been their turn to make dinner this week, and they haven't lifted a finger...or paw...let alone clean. It's like living in a pigsty...mainly thanks to the pigs.

Kill what? You can't just run around killing stuff with sticks and snowy branches and avalanches, you know....there are laws against that kind of thing...well, maybe not avalanches, it'd be difficult to make avalanches illegal, and only a short term solution, as global warming is making them less and less likely every year...like icebergs, which would've been good news for the Titanic....if it hadn't sunk, that is.

Truth cannot be both knowable and inexpressible. It is either knowable and expressible, or unknowable and inexpressible. If the latter is true, then truth, to all intents and purposes, does not exist.

You're really hung up on this truth thing, G. I was just reading Derrida! It's not really a crime, and you had to have read it, too. Otherwise you'd be arguing a point you didn't explore... which is the real crime and one I refuse to believe you'd commit.

Without the swampy suffering of Chapter 4, you can't fully appreciate the heartbreaking liberation of Chapter 5. It'd be like watching Bambi with the death of his mother censored out.

    Silly man. You don't catch polar bears with butterfly nets. (I actually had a trickier answer to the title but I've forgotten it again and I'm still waiting for my morning coffee)
Where do I say I want to catch a polar bear?

Medic! We need emergency caffeine over here!

I think the polar bears were catching me. They need no nets.

Bring me the big needle, nurse, this calls for a direct intramuscular shot.

    Truth cannot be both knowable and inexpressible. It is either knowable and expressible, or unknowable and inexpressible. If the latter is true, then truth, to all intents and purposes, does not exist.

    God is dead, the author is dead, truth is dead...welcome to your own mortality.
Why can't it be knowable and inexpressible? That's ... crap.

Anyway. I forgot why we were talking about this, but it looks like my heart wasn't in it.

I am torn between reading your blog comments, memorizing J. Alfred Prufrock (no reason except I dig it) and actually reading a text I'll be quizzed over. I may not choose wisely, but truth of it is, but I will make a choice.

Cheers!

I love these philosophical dialogues with their intellectual ripostes and witty repartee.

Is making no choice a choice?

You might be right about the stork thing.

I saw one the other day, carrying an old man.
The man was saying, "Admit it. You're lost."

if the stork foists that old man on me, i'm giving him back! i specifically asked for a little one... you think i should've included a key plan along with my request?

I'd be very careful using the words "liquidated" and "damage" around this old man.
