SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Line 3 (M.O.L 42)
There was this man, a security officer, sitting in
the bar of a starship. He didn't remember how he had got
there, his arrival was too many drinks back.
He sat there, just starring in his half filled glass,
when the waitress tapped him on the shoulder.
"There's a man asking your name. He sits over
there" said the waitress and nodded towards a man
sitting in the shadow. "He says his name is
Blake. Robert Blake".
"My name?" he whispers at first before abruptly
turning 90 degrees in his bar chair, grabbing her wirst, twisting it brutaly around. "My name shouldn't be known to anyone alive today. Blake is dead, you're one of them aren't you?"
The waitress, being used to the mans sudden mood swings,
broke free and said "Hey, I'm just the messenger
here. You talk to the man. Or you don't. Your
choice."
So, the man stands up, grips his cane and steadly walks over to the mysterious character.
Robert Blake sits in a shadowy corner, his eyes obscured by the darkness cast by a large synthetic hat - beneath his high arched collar and trim gotaee is the steely glint of sleek metal.
