for indeed, the little things in life magnify, as in: how attractive is the tinniest dog, when compared to a cerberus; the tinniest dog you seem to entomb in snuggles; while before the giants, earth sun and moon, we crafted a science of understanding, as if to enlarge ourselves, and dwarf them... but the giants knew of man's schemes, and perpetuated the answer: for indeed, how the little things in life magnify. to feel in heart, innermost or outermost, to the innermost zenith, to the outermost pinnacle, to feel in heart, a fabric akin to a sparrow's nervous twitching, to feel in heart more drama than the river or the sea, take care of the sparrow, maybe someday one will fly from a rosebush and sit on your hand like one did on mine, when i was a child - keen to remember; if only the heart and all its turmoil were so nervous as to constantly imply a nervous itch - that sparrow's twitch - should we say any more, better a fickle heart than a fickle mind, better fickle emotions than fickle thinking; for at least with fickle emotions the many can be loved even if that be a trivial entombing of us all, but with fickle thinking, well, who is there to be pleased?

the sparrow on my brow
for indeed, the little things in life magnify, as in: how attractive is the tinniest dog, when compared to a cerberus; the tinniest dog you seem to entomb in snuggles; while before the giants, earth sun and moon, we crafted a science of understanding, as if to enlarge ourselves, and dwarf them... but the giants knew of man's schemes, and perpetuated the answer: for indeed, how the little things in life magnify. to feel in heart, innermost or outermost, to the innermost zenith, to the outermost pinnacle, to feel in heart, a fabric akin to a sparrow's nervous twitching, to feel in heart more drama than the river or the sea, take care of the sparrow, maybe someday one will fly from a rosebush and sit on your hand like one did on mine, when i was a child - keen to remember; if only the heart and all its turmoil were so nervous as to constantly imply a nervous itch - that sparrow's twitch - should we say any more, better a fickle heart than a fickle mind, better fickle emotions than fickle thinking; for at least with fickle emotions the many can be loved even if that be a trivial entombing of us all, but with fickle thinking, well, who is there to be pleased?
