Alexis M. Venture's Blurbs |
About me:
Once when I was hungry and couldn't find my glasses, I braved the outside world w/o them in search of the local pizza store. As I crossed the street I saw a small black creature that I assumed to be a cat, padding around in a circle. It didn't occur to me that that type of behavior was pretty odd, I just figured it was bored. Then all of a sudden the cat started to circle faster and faster until it straight flew into the air and sailed around for awhile. It didn't register until a split second later that the cat was actually a black plastic bag. But for an instant I sincerely thought the cat was flying. It was a whimsical moment that encourages me to take late night strolls w/o my glasses more often.
Living in squalor, darning a sock for the 50th time, stooping down to sip at puddles on the jungle floor. Living a light by a congregation of trees in nature, hunkering low, sifting through dust to spy on insects. Living with nothing but gorillas for company. This life seems more appealing every day. And there's nothing keeping me from disappearing.
