Even Life and Death need a break....time out form their line of work. For those interested Death is drinking strawberry daiquiri whilst Life  is down to the last dregs of a shocking pink milkshake. Both are just chillin' like the cool dudes they are. I had to put life on a Li-Lo( also a shocking flesh coloured Pink )as in Samoan it means "curious or generous one" as well as a beach inflatable for lazy loafers who want to just float and soak up those life giving rays. Then in African naming Lilo means "two-hearted" (a person who is both "good and evil", for example being laid-back about insults but defending others without hesitation). Ain't Life just like that? Death is listening to old school rap WHITE LINES - DON'T DO IT or chuckling at Lilo & Stitch on his I-Pad.
I wrote this when the nuclear accident happen to happen at Didi Lilo, Georgia, a daba outside Tblisi. Awww man....like....who knows how this old world will end or what a God is or for that matter...a Nothing! All we can know is that we just don't know...despite the fact we are dying to find out. Ok ok....enough...too much information. I remember a chalky graffiti on a wall once that said: "Mistah God....he dead!" How Conradian!

But as s Mr. Eliot puts it more succinctly....

"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper"

But....I digress!

Contemplating a cruise whilst a line of cummings ran through my head.  e.e.'s "all worlds have halfsight,seeing either with..." which hosts the lovely lines:

he's free into the beauty of the truth;

and strolls the axis of the universe
- love.    Each believing world denies,whereas
your lover(looking through both life and death)

and so GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL jumped into my head. Well...there ya go!
