paper airplane dogfights in the meadow

the one reservation that i keep regarding "nature vs nurture" maybe just another spoke within an idealist's tutorial. my motto is fairly basic and it would sound something like this...of course people are influenced by their habitats and the tenants that occupy within...a vintage permit for this claim is Darwin's Galápagos archipelago...a territory brimming with blatant testimonies of environmental influence, evolved, straight cocked and locked for the next crusade...as animals will be but what's novel about this place is that DIVERSITY IS GENEROUS. Not just different types of animals but mixed bags of species. They're all on their own tip, doing their own thing...

observing people from the south bay and comparing them to people from san francisco made me think of this. and this made me think of shapes and colors and these as properties of energy we all sport.

i was on the muni on the way to golden gate park and i sat there by the bus driver...he looked so happy about his route, as you would guess his routine is a peaceful one. then a woman caught my attention. she was maybe a late twentysomething and on her lap was her son who kept inquiring of sweets. he kept asking "where's the sweets mommy?"...i think babies are ignorant and suck much but this was a cute attack all over the bus man...but this woman was leaning on the shoulders of another woman and it was poetry. this mother was most beautiful thing i've seen in a while and not like she was a model or held up a wasaga with her white gloves..it was that she was glowing with estrogen, holding her child proudly and existing gracefully lesbian and in her eyes existed this attitude, this life lived truly contently. she had donned the sun rays professionally and the best topping of all was that she wore a smirk upon her lips and it was all wrapped up there. it was like she GOT life and you wanted to fall in love with her right there. this makes you go..."oh, that's what we should paint"...
