A Break in the Metaphor

Mythic Geometry

How do we “channel divine energy” into a screen play?

Ship shape, you say. And I think about angles. I ponder thwarts and gunnels. Not to be confused with river or bay safe, ship shape means good looking, but only to the untrained eye. Better than floating, but seaworthy, most certainly, is a whole different category. Sure, she looks ship shape, but that bitch won’t hunt, will she?

Uncle Joe’s scrambled signals '“transmit clarity”?

At least that’s what AI copilot tells me. And you might ask, “Is this respite?” And then I drift back to C3PenneyOpera, and Macbeath’s updated version of Captain Macheath, better known as Mack the knife, farcified the grisly brutality of a previous century. A sci-fi swash buckler with robots and dance numbers. Why bother? You are correct sir. Why even bother?

That damn AI copilot is way too smart for me. I got respite to find, and a research vessel upside down on the rocks, and a nap that needs taking.

I prefer to ponder the impact of prankster photons sparking life into plant forms than I do trying to unwind the meanings of terms like “channeling divine energy.” Give me a clam knife, fifty top necks and some cocktail sauce, I will show you. Cabbages and Kings? Ha. Get on with it, man
