Poppet Soup, Onithoptors and Love. In the Dark.


We had dinner at Supreme Dragon. We talked about many things, Pete, Bent and me, but eventually, we got around to talking about thestateofthings, as we seem to do.
The stateofthings seems as dark as always, a bit darker in places.
I can't stop noticing the several ridiculously huge fish swimming in the gigantic aquarium a few feet away. It's a tall
aquarium and the fish appear to congregate at the pane nearest our table, turning in near unison to stare our way. I think of how little kids assign sentience to all creatures. I think of fish staring down from a tank in the center of the room at humans who sit at tables, eating fish and discussing thestateofthings.
When I still believed ladybugs mulled things over, I listened to my parents and their friends at dinners, talking about thestateofthings. I couldn't understand what they said, just that they were worried and if they were worried, thestateofthings must be pretty dark. The world was different outside of my back yard. And sometimes darkness was very near indeed.
So I played.
Now it's my turn to worry, think and do what I can about thestateofthings. I know ladybugs don't have brains.
But I still play, mostly in the dark.
