Meadow Happenings

[squirmelia]

1. There was a day in the meadow, when I forgot how to skip. It had been some time since I last skipped, admittedly, and even more time since I had last skipped without a rope, but I still assumed that I could. My legs moved wrongly and I stumbled the first few times I tried, but suddenly I found I was skipping again, and it was then that I wondered why I was skipping.

2. I tried to remember Alice in Wonderland related songs: Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, and err.. Terrorvision's Alice, what's the matter? And that song that goes: Alice, who the f*** is Alice?

3. A different day in the meadow, I kept looking up at the sky, as the clouds looked particularly beautiful. The sky even had a "J" in it, made of jet trails. I ate some delicious cherries from a tree by the edge of the meadow, then stood, illuminated, underneath a broken street lamp, numbered 18. It was on and the rest were off.

4. Some days I think I see more butterflies than people.

5. Yesterday, I was stung by nettles, and saw many orange creatures on the backs of other orange creatures. It was too windy to photograph the thistles.

6. Today, I decided to live dangerously and began to follow the bees. A ladybird curiously appeared to have the Thundercats logo on it.

i haven't skipped in a while, though i liked to when i was small. i'd be very surprised if i couldn't remember how.

Mercury Rev has a "Waltz for Alice", but i don't know if it's related. (My first thought was of an Einsturzende Neubauten song which turns out to be called "Alles", so definitely not.)

My legs just sometimes want to skip when I am in the meadow. I don't know why, it's just a skippity-skip feeling that comes over them, but if I think about skipping too much, then sometimes I can't remember how to.

I saw a grown man, in a suit, who looked far too sensible for that kind of thing, skip across a busy road today. It was fun to watch. There should be more skipping :)
