box of blood

golden ocean

the ocean might be golden
today my pretty
and your soft peachened sweater
inside dreams tonight
but I suspect the real you underneath everything

the hard winded grey blown clouds
are only half the world
you dance the point of justice
sing for praise between
but what I hear above all things I see in the quiet of your eyes

Tom's Art of Persuasion

             - Zhosky

He grew up too quickly. By the time he was fourteen he had learned the power of persuasion.

As Tom grew up he was to allow himself one great passion - golf.This came to be his most important field of operation.

He carefully engaged his opponent on the first few holes in gentle and agreeable conversation. By the 4th or 5th hole he would enter a carefully placed controversy when he had gained the other's confidence. By the 9th hole it would be a bitter dispute. Tom would glare at his victim and say "Every argument is useless with you - because you accept the whole business of goodness on faith." Then he would take a shot and stalk off in a huff.

At about the 11th hole he always sought reconciliation. While his rival had lost his grip on Tom's reason, Tom snuck up on him with "Perhaps you're right though - you seem to have given the subject more thought than I."

On the next 3 holes he worked quickly setting up his final campaign. He'd find the most remarkable compliments - "Your mind works somewhat like Einstein's - he too liked to daydream." By the 16th hole he was moving in for the kill.

"You've got to grant me one thing though - Jefferson would still oppose the women's movement were he alive today." Here Tom always made several points that were easy to agree with - and his prey would always find satisfaction in agreeing with Tom. At the 18th hole Tom could add a "friend" to his list and he always had a funny story to tell on the way back to the clubhouse.

What is the Osk Journal?

Well what are you? If you are an apple then Osk is an apple. If you are asleep then Osk isn't.

Let's say you are walking in the woods. You stop and wait. Listen. What do you hear? The Osk Journal that's what. No? Over there is an old barn. The cedar roof is falling in, there are holes into the second story. Snow is an inch thick and a pigeon walks upon it about to enter a particular gap, it's home is inside this abandoned structure. A dog with head below the knee sniffs it's way past the barn as three crows are heard in loud winter language.

Just know your seeing. That's the motto.

What's the Osk Journal? It's a peanut skin.

Hold the peanut without the shell but with the skin on. With the index finger and thumb, squeeze this peanut. Watch the peanut go.
