“Neighbors”
Two neighbors, a camera, and Photoshop
2007
Tropical beauty, taken from home,
Shipped ‘cross the sea, o’er oceans of foam.
Sold to the corp, all boxed in a crate,
Labeled and bagged, according to date.
Trucked to a store, with a logo of green,
Put on a shelf, according to bean.
Grabbed from that shelf, by a man on his out,
Who promises love, which she’ll find, there’s no doubt.
The man takes this beauty, and grinds her to dust,
Having his way with her, destroy her he must.
With dawn in the air, and sleep in his eyes,
It’s time for the beauty to face her demise.
With water to boil, he packs her down tight,
This tropical beauty, now facing her plight.
Through process of habit, the beauty’s now turned,
To a liquid of sorts, a royalty earned.
Her soul now in cup, her shell tossed away,
She meets some hot milk, to start the man’s day.
Now absorbed, disappeared, now otherwise gone,
By her love, in her man, through the morning lives on.
A stunning photo taken by Bluejake recently.
From Twitter, Inc.’s CEO Jack Dorsey’s Flickr gallery, a shot of the rough sketch that became Twitter. Early names they went through included stat.us and twttr. Part of me wishes they stuck to the original swirly graphics.
Dig in for this one. I hereby predict that Twitter will be the buzzword of 2007, preceded by YouTube in 2006, Skype in 2005, MySpace in 2004… iTunes in 2001… Google in 2000… eBay in 1999… Yahoo! in 1997… Spam in 1994… and so back. Not only will twitter be a household word, it’ll actually be a verb in the dictionary. Just watch. (“I was twittering you all day, but you didn’t twitter me back. So I’ll twitter you later.”)
