Wait, what

 


Clerkmanifesto is the Waking World

Life is a Fountain is the Dream


Wait.


Clerkmanifesto?


I have a reason, I swear.


The reason comes from when I was walking along in Saint Minneapolis. Maybe I was ruminating on Life is a Fountain, its complexity, its unpopularity, its slow load times, its towering ramblingness, its air of ancient curses and enchantment, and its sense of peril. 

And then I thought of clerkmanifesto, it's linearity, its articulateness, its vanity, its order, its presence. And then it came to me:

Light and Shadow.

Day and Night.

And above all of them:


The Waking World

and 

Dreams.


Clerkmanifesto is like being awake and Life is a Fountain is like dreaming.

I've been carrying this around in me for several days now, playing with ideas of what to do with it. And then, one day, today actually, I was at the front desk of the library, and I wrote this.

What is this?


Daytime.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
