AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

Dear (_____)

Dear parents,

As your little ones get older and the topic comes of what they want to be when they grow up and they say "garbage man" or something and you go "pfffffft, honey, you'll never believe what junior said," remember that.  If it stays the same through the years after you've introduced him or her to the world at large, maybe just help him become a trash man instead of a world renowned master of ... I dunno ... finance?  Imagine a world where some of the greatest minds and talents were not diverted into colossal shadows and instead tended what has become blighted and a bit ruined by - lack.  Imagination will thrive wherever planted.  Genius does not stop being genius because it's bottles and cans, pots and pans, instead of charts, diagrams, papers, paints, and appointments.
