Explanations smell like hell
because words (being mere symbols)
pour out hypocritic gross empty spell
We’ll joyfully play beyond described sand
jump beyond reason
and hide from what old bureaucrats demand

She looks cross-eyed! 🙂
(I’m assuming that’s an ovipositor, hence the ‘she’)
I think she is a she! 🙂 Now don’t be staring at her ovipositor!
Hands over my eyes! (heart). 🙂
“Explanations smell like hell I really like that. In my business I hear a lot of explanations (excuses) and those four words masterfully capture volumes.
When i worked as a teacher for the multiply handicapped, a lot of the higher-ups were all wrapped up about making things look good on paper… but not concerned enough about student happiness and actual learning.
They seem to be cyclic in nature Tom!
bureaucrats in Simple Gematria equals: 129/12/3 cycle or 12 divided by 2 = 6 divided by 2 = 3 divided by 2 = 1.5 = 6 divided by 2 = 3 cycle
… and the winter of politics is upon us. 🙂
What an awesome shot, Tom! Love those eyes!
Thanks! I think they are focused on the camera! 🙂
She’s got some great green gams, too!
🙂 Yes, she’s a real looker and, as you can see, she’s quickly rising to the top.
Wonderful, deals with that old hypocrisy and BS so well.
That’s one very cross-eyed insect! I love it!
Amazing close-up Tom – looks like a mini tree hugger. 🙂
So cute and great shot, Tom, especially I love the Surviving mechanism of hiding.
