this land...

this white mans land is beyond words.............

i went to an astronomical society meet...........there is an astronomical society culb in usk..........it has many members......there were twelve that day.........and three new ones includng myself...............there was no astronomy...........only budgeting........and planning.........and what the society was capable of.............
but beneath al this seemingly drab waste of time was an undercurrent of an enthusiasm for the skies which bound all of us to sit together through that first meet.......as if we were all committed to larger project of universal importance the price of which was to tolerate this necessary evil of bureaucratic planing...........it was shit. but for no reason i was thrilled..........everyone was over 50..........thyere must be only one....stewart....who was younger..........in his thrities.....like me i uess......

i went for a jog...........around the hospital......on the clean pavement.......recently awash with a sprinkle of an unusually warm autumn rain...........through the well lit car park............amid the rich green foliage..............then past the labour ward.........popped in to enquire about a patient who i had seen earlier in the day.............and then home..............

about a hundred yards from home.........i stopped jogging.........i wasent very breathless.......and i dipped my hands into the right pocket of my cheap track pants.........and fished out my new N73..........nokia......and tapped through the menu......stumbled upon games......and was reborn at the sight of the new versio of snakes..............its 3d..........you get transformed into a reptile with a pedigree......n a chequered floor........with only vision for shiny revolving objects..........with fangs in readiness for emergent gulping..........but i was at my doorstep...........with the latest marvel of human technology in my hands...........my being glowing in the satisfaction of being at the top of the techno pyramid........

the i filled up my bathtub........in seconds...........and lay naked in the water...........experienced part weightlessness........exaggerated by my recent jog.........and then i thought..........
