Paranoia

is a blur of buildings
tennis courts
fenced on your left
sky that day
was a uniform grey
rain falling fast
tiny glistening eyes
watching me like spies
from all over my coat
and as if that wasn't
enough to encourage
the fact
I'd already discovered
I was wearing odd socks

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." 

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

"I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me ... and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water."
~ D.H. Lawrence

"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

Kohoutek 4-55, a dying star’s final breath in Cygnus, glows in surreal layers of ionised gas—red for nitrogen, green for hydrogen, blue for oxygen. Captured by Hubble’s WFPC2 just days before retirement. A cosmic farewell. ❤️
