good day?bad day?

today,

1) i woke up late,

2) nearly hospitalized a man cause he couldn't make up his mind whether he was crossing the street or not (i thought he wasn't, because me on a bike, and a car was fast approaching, but he stepped forward just as i was almost there and despite braking hard and having no where to vere to with the car to my immediate left, i skidded into him), and

3) saw pigeons snogging eachother at the square. they were cute.

p.s. i didn't realize that both good and bad ended with "d". i couldn't make up my mind whether to make them, along with "day" one word or two words... but double "d"s would have looked weird, i guess.

Metamorphosis Of Narcissus (1937)

Narcissus,
in his immobility,
absorbed by his reflection with the digestive slowness of carnivorous plants,
becomes invisible.
There remains of him only the hallucinatingly white oval of his head,
his head again more tender,
his head, chrysalis of hidden biological designs,
his head held up by the tips of the water's fingers,
at the tips of the fingers
of the insensate hand,
of the terrible hand,
of the mortal hand
of his own reflection.
When that head slits
when that head splits
when that head bursts,
it will be the flower,
the new Narcissus,
Gala - my narcissus
