There's this creature I know who is having himself a lot of trouble with the present tense. The creature is spending all its time trying to figure out the present tense, and that is a real problem because the creature was created in the past tense, but lives now in the present tense and wants to do its best to figure out the tense shift that is its "figuring out" life. You know?
So, this creature having trouble with the present tense looks out at the present tense and always sees it like its through an old glass window, even though "looking out" is sort of a weird way to describe the way eyes or seeing or something like that work.
But. Old glass. Glass is solid, but also, even though it doesn't seem like it, a liquid, and very very very slowly it is pulled by gravity, and glass warps. That's why it looks like it does when it's old: it's flowing to the ground.
And that's what the creature sees.
I am a teacher of sorts. I am the sort of teacher who tries to teach the creature how to understand the present tense. So, I am busy teaching.
And cannot blog.
(I'm back. Sort of. Maybe once a week. Maybe Mondays for a while.)
