The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

A man stopped me near a public works project and said he found trying to think about the stuff I talk about like having a podiatrist pull your tooth or a proctologist clean your drain. (He says he still reads the News, and still thinks about the stuff--when he can stand it.)

 

One guy now insists,
"I will not be creative and individualistic at my expense!"

 

For his final thought for the week, one of the speakers over at the Philosopher's Spot in city park proclaimed, "Life is like a simile in that my instant description thereof contains the word `like.'"
(And a nearby squirrel thought: Some "human truths" that are undeniable are nonetheless useless.)

 

 

 

A revolutionist once thought:
What I like about what I know
is that I like it all.

 

 

One man's brain declared:
"Ain't no smart-ass nervous system
gonna tell me what to do!"

 

 

Surveying his life, a singular chap observed,
"Who ever's writing these scripts
is taking the best parts himself."

Later, the aforementioned revolutionist announced, nay, proclaimed, to himself and all his little inner troopers:
"I will accept nearly anything--except my own plagiarism
of myself."

(.....A certain band of rebels, when captured and given the choice of either becoming copies, or becoming executed, all thought, "You call that a `choice'!")

 

Everyone here can dance forward;

Everyone here can dance backward;

only a few, sideways.

 

The King's Dream Interpreter told him, "The reason the fat hogs run in fear is that they are followed by yet hungrier hogs." And the monarch slept soundly, knowing the genetic echoes of tomorrow continued to bode well for the land.
