the pursuit of happiness: run, rabbit, run

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "

absurd...the pursuit of happiness, pursuit and happiness, means and goal, both...
why, fuck, i have to run after the carrot?
a free man's spittle drooling from my mouth....?

Vashti Bunyan - Across the Water

Fall into sleep as the sun comes up
And wake at the back of noon
Drift through the hours as the sun gets lower
Till the days are lit by the moon

Every day is every day
Can't tell one from the other
Wait to fall at the end of it all
As stones skip across the water

Lived on wit, got away with it
Hummed a universal tune
Found a thread away in the head
Followed it over the moon

Every day is every day
One foot in front of the other
Learn to fall with the grace of it all
As stones skip across the water

Laurie Anderson - Someone Else's Dream

well, i know these nights...not these days but i know them well

Cantico delle Creature - Angelo Branduardi (con testo)

though the combination is a bit kitschy

meta-morphosis

i am growing
green scales
golden eyes

and i sleep
in silence
nobody hears
my breath

i smell with my tongue
i feel the earth
vibrate underground

i shed my skin,
i wear a shimmering
garment of stars

there is
a new space
to be filled
and it is mine

in which
i am coiled up
guarding
my peace

coiled-up

my flue taught me to re-coil

like a snake,

sleeping energy,

tranquility
