Inspiration Ramble: April 2006
http://absinthemind.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 28, 2006. Hills Like White Elephants. Reading Hemingway a long time ago, I could not buy his description of rolling hills as white elephants. After all, hills do not stand on four feet, and if asleep, then how many sleeping elephants does one see through their lifetime? To this day, I personally have not seen any. Do they sleep standing up - like horses? Or do they bend their feet and stretch over the land? I did not know. If Steve Jobs would run a farm, this would be it. Clean and freshly ...

Inspiration Ramble: January 2006
http://absinthemind.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 28, 2006. Prague is an odd concept. In its right hand, it holds dark clouds, bitter weather and a dark, morbid, solitude. In its left, it holds warm, cozy taverns, a glistening nightlife and a spinning whirlpool of culture. And so often when it snows, these two hands, cupped together form a snowball so thick and mysterious, one is left at an utter loss if hit by it. So in a city where the clouds are as dark as the gothic castles under them, where do its citizens gather for warmth? As a ...

Inspiration Ramble: September 2006
http://absinthemind.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 23, 2006. I have made peace with the world. At least for now. And even though I may end up owing five dollars to a few friends here and there, the silence on this page is proof to my current tranquility. For the time being, I shall try to redigest this zen into a readable form. It may take some time. It's still new to me. So, until then, boys and girls. Posted by One Lost Gnome.

Friday, May 26, 2006. Your Title, Here. The buildings stood happy and not too tall. Perhaps they were sitting – lounging under the white cotton of the clouds. Their paint, once bright, was now chipped. But they smiled at me nonetheless, and I smiled back. Several people, waiting for the tram on a small strip of asphalt in the middle of the avenue, saw me and smiled as well. It was then that it happened. Posted by One Lost Gnome. Friday, May 19, 2006.

Saturday, July 29, 2006. Death in the afternoon. In his original, Hemingway wrote of glorious death in the afternoon. But you wont find it here. Eyes loose. Loose over the shirt hanging out. Bouncing. Over the shirt loose. Bouncing the train the eyes over the shirt bouncing here there the train the car the people bouncing. Pulling out over the bridge the sun bouncing around the car the people the eyes the shirt but no one sees it no one sees it -. You wont find it here. Hello can you hear me? But nothing...

Inspiration Ramble: June 2006
http://absinthemind.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 29, 2006. Today my faithful iBook decided to lay its final words onto the page. It is still alive, but it is ailing, and so I found myself on my aged desktop. The documents on it span the last eleven years. That would be half of my life. So, for today, I shall offer the first poem attempted by yours truly, that was not written in a romantic Rebert Frost meter. It was first hand-written (as everything tends to be) and then typed on this great old box. Our horizontal weeping done,. First wee...

Inspiration Ramble: March 2006
http://absinthemind.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 11, 2006. In the basement of a Czech supermarket "Tesco", crowds move. It is 6 pm. The people crowd and race through the isles, groceries in hand. Coming from the ant farm, the ants move back and forth through the store, gathering provisions to bring back to the places they call home. Overhead, an aged Scorpions song accompanies their dance. Here I am. Will you send me an angel? The song repeats its chorus. Here I am.". In the land of the morning star.". And so I move with them. It gets d...
