HOUSE FLIES AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
When you start to believe that the House Fly which has been bugging you for the last three or four days by fondling your wrist, your bare ankle, the nape of your neck, does so because it loves you; it’s time to take stock!
I might add, I don’t like killing anything, but enough was enough, and after running around after the brazen hussy like a blue arsed fly, I managed to whack the annoying little bugger with the latest copy of ‘Fakt’ yesterday afternoon. Luckily for my impending state of guilt, I happened to simply stun the thing and chucked it as far as I could over and away from the balcony! Today however, I swear the shameless creature cocking its head from left to right and staring at me with its huge cow eyes from the laptop’s keyboard was one in the same beast. It died!
As has any foreseeable excursions in the realms of urban landscape (recent paintings of which can be found here), with a return to the figure being inevitable… It’s probably the home I crave – my private, exclusive way of expressing anything which may be atypical.
‘Everyone is born into the world to do something unique and distinctive and if they don’t do it, it will never be done’ so says Benjamin E. Mays, and if Lin Yutan is to be believed, ‘If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live’, well I'm not sure if I’ve managed anything unique just yet in my forty-six times around the sun, having achieved the latter in a state of perfect uselessness on many a worthless afternoon than I dare to remember, then I’m not sure if I’ll ever achieve the aforementioned! But hey, we’ll keep on going and trying even if those wonderful life-filled afternoons add up to little more than me killing myself with Cigarettes, Booze and leaving little time to complete the project! Still, to know how to live beats letting nature take its own course, with its preference for rotting a person away slowly – surely! And anyway, life’s too short to piss about trying to prolong it..! Unfinished it all may well be, but, well, death has a knack of finishing it all off anyway! For now…
