Lyrid showers

A golden watch moved

from my left hand to

right hand

with hands clasped

may be the watch

was loose

huge

It happened to you

you recognised

it was my watch

and gave it to me

constellate

In another place

pushed down the

stairs

we were connected

to some goofy machines

(This Is Not What I Expected puffer fish toxins hallucination scene)

Calls were made

for help

lyrid showers

policemen

Rodin's sculptures

Some are huge

The Age of Bronze, a life-size male figure whose naturalism brought Rodin attention but led to accusations of sculptural cheating – its naturalism and scale was such that critics alleged he had cast the work from a living model.

Then we wouldnt travel.

Its like the same target layout everywhere, you would not be notivated to see new places because they would be the same. You wouldnt go out to meet your family because everyone around looks like your family and you wouldnt miss them?

or Maybe we would still because they think and make things differently and many decisions and choices would be determined by the climate of the places.
