Yawning Through the News

Opinion

It appears that 2012 was the warmest year on record. At least that is a leading "news" story today.
News: Newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events.

When every year, or every other year is the new warmest...etc. is it
really news? I exaggerate. The previous "hottest...etc." was 1998. But you get my drift, right? And, plenty more to come, as we begin our hyper-speed sequel to the PETM

Spinning Away (Eno/Kale)

Up on a hill, as the day dissolves

With my pencil turning moments into line
High above in the violent sky
A silent silver plane – it draws a golden chain

One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form

On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I’ve drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time
And now as the pale moon rides (in the stars)
Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)
And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)
There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)
And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)
