a circle is a square

a typical day in the life of anyone is intriguing when looked at under a microscope, or in short glimpses. It's really all about the thought process behind the actions and not the actions themselves. For instance, I was outside smoking a cigarette just the other day when a middle-aged gentleman wearing a suit jacket and slacks walked by, talking to himself. I caught a couple of sentences as he passed.. but I heard.. "..a square is a circle and the circle is square. no one understands there are demons in the air.." He then passed by to where I could no longer make out his meanderings. He turned around and gave me a quick stare and then kept going. Where was he headed? I thought. What was he doing in the middle of the day walking about in a downtown nowhere ghost town like this? Then again.. maybe he was wondering the same thing about me. Regardless, like magnets we connected for just a moment and then it was gone. Everyone has a story. Everyone has a plight. Everyone has a solution. Everyone seeks the light.

  1. i had a quasi-similar experience with a woman in flower stretch pants. but i couldn't say that i wondered so much about her plight as i was more (morbidly) intrigued by her outfit.
