I arrive without footsteps and leave without a trace. I can build a world from nothing then make it all erase. I borrow faces from strangers and places I have never seen. I can make a moment last forever or turn a lifetime into a scene. I can carry you without moving, Show you strange places without roads, Make the impossible feel certain, Then leave you empty, holding only shadows. Can you put a name to my face?
You have 12 cue balls that look and feel identical. However, one of them is either slightly lighter or slightly heavier than the rest. You cannot tell by handling them, and you do not know whether it will be lighter or heavier. Instead, you have been given a set of old fashioned balance scales. The scale with more weight tips down, and the scale with less weight tips up. How do you discover which ball is the odd one out in three turns or less?
Four limbs, no tail. Up high, can't fly. Down low, not slow. Water bound, stays aground. Mud and trees, reeds and leaves. I sing serenades to the moon at night. Some may not know me, but you might.
Hand in hand, I go with you. If you smile and laugh, I will too. Gaze into my eyes and see how I capture your soul. It is you who looks away first, and I who will be compelled to return what I stole. What is it that you saw?
I am a butterfly that lives inside the heart, whose wing beats sting like thorns when kept apart. A great tree over which wars are fought, lost and won, but inside you, I am a seed which has only just begun. What Am I?
The more I know you The more I need to know you Am I boring you? Notice. Business card on baize Peer to liquidate billiards One game of 8 ball Pool played. - Archduke #vagueposting
How I’d like to utterly consume you, just as you have consumed me.
"To both was sent the wooden sword and both received the palm of victory. Thus adroit skill received its equal reward. Under no prince but thee, Caesar, has such a thing occurred: two men fought, and two men won." Martial: Liber de Spectaculis #fightnight
By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE—Out of TIME. - Dreamland, Edgar Allan Poe.
A stranger whispers on the wind with a tricky tongue. While all the trees sleep, and the night is young. A hungry serpent beckons to the little ones Let me be your teacher and show you how to fly Then, the Raven turned to him and said, "with what wings? let's see you try."
