Perhaps I’m getting soft in my old age, but as I was walking to the library today, I was hit in the face with this dash of red. Appropriately, the sign said ‘Stop’. And so I did.
my mind is… (XXV)
my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing which touch and taste and smell
and hearing and sight keep hitting and chipping with sharp fatal
tools
in an agony of sensual chisels i perform squirms of chrome and ex
-ecute strides of cobalt
nevertheless i
feel that i cleverly am being altered that i slightly am becoming
something a little different, in fact
myself
Hereupon helpless i utter lilac shrieks and scarlet bellowings.
E.E. Cummings

The photo didn’t grab me, but when I read your words, “Appropriately, the sign said ‘Stop’. And so I did.” That stopped me, as well. It’s nice to encounter, if a blog can be called an encounter, someone who is paying attention to the world they live in and looking for signposts, I suspect, not always so obvious.
