...and foolishness survives.

It's pretty funny that someone else posted lately about having an attack of the shoulds. I've been hearing a lot of "shoulds" from outside myself lately -- no one person, just various directions. It's sometimes been getting me down, and today it finally didn't get me down even though I kind of feel it, uh, should have. Ah, universe, you silly old goat.

my feet walk in cosmic
dust
and foolishness
survives.
