haiku: rodent splatter film

flattened in seconds
fevered by cheese promises
but crushed underfoot

  1. The other morning I saw something that made me think of you. This reminded me. I wish I had got a picture of it now. It was a dead possum. In a plastic shopping bag. Someone had discarded it on the footpath. It was lying there, half under a hedge with only it's tail and back legs sticking splayed out from the mouth of the bag. I called the council that day and they came and removed it. Damn it! I KNEW I should have taken a picture!

    simon, i LOVE that the dead possum in the plastic bag made you think of me. agreed, death in all its tortured & displaced manifestations is fascinating. did i ever share with you the KFC prank story?

  3. Lots of strange things remind me of you my dear. Was just rather strange you had a similar moment at the same time with a dead mouse. Odd synchronicity. Remember the days when you could email me any time of the night and I would wake up to answer. Only for your emails. I never did understand how that worked.

    You never told me that KFC story?

  5. Ah, I thought you were just ignoring all the long, boring emails I was sending you :)

  6. Actually Keith, the owner of Galbraiths, was telling me about the ghost that is supposed to haunt there. I was trying to figure out a way of using a green laser pointer to project the ghostly image of a face onto one of the window panes from outside the pub that would be visible to people going past as a face looking out. That's kind of like holograms I guess.
