The curse of knowing things



Like Mozart’s variations on “Ah vous dirai-je Maman” is used in Castle S2E2

Like woodpeckers love cracked corn from a bird feeder

Or the grass in the beautifully manicured lawns of the rich is very weak

People don’t want to hear useless shards of knowing

Like the difference between the howl of a coyote and the cry of a wolf

Or the most beautiful sunsets are viewed in Arizona

Or the seed I bought probably won’t sprout because of what was done to it

Like the jackalopes at Texas Roadhouse use bunnies instead of jack rabbits which are actually hares

Or art imitates life, but rarely the other way around, and then to the detriment of those who practice it

Or there’s at least five ways to do a thing and you have more choices than you know

No one wants to know what I know, especially in the middle of a news cast spitting erroneous information, or at a concert whispered mistakes, or a long trip reading signs

Now you know I know things, but they don’t know I know.

You know?

Someday

  Someday this office will be organized instead of a room dedicated to stashing stuff that has no other home. Someday I will paint the bed...
