On Mimicry

If I listen and remember and feel, everything else will follow. People seek fun. Women surprise and delight me. Quietness in the mind and quickness in the heart serve me well. My eyes are beautiful.

Listen. First I receive, then I give. First I absorb, then I reflect. Maybe I have it backwards. Maybe the order doesn't matter as long as there's exchange. Each exchange starts anew.

Others play music on my emotions. I repeat their music in a different key at a different volume to a different person. Sometimes I warble. Sometimes I wah-wah.

Most people would rather listen to their own music.

I like to think so. But I like to listen to reggae too, and that doesn't make me Jamaican.

Happy New Year to you!

Great post, as always!

Happy new year! I celebrate my new year on 21st of december because I worship goat gods, some people might mistake that as satan, to them I respond by wearing my goat head helmet, and casting spells on them.

And the chewing of tin cans at midnight? That's what goats do, right?

Yeah, if by tin cans you mean people's souls, then yes.
