metaphor

So, I’m in the middle of a redesign—check out the new menu! I like where it’s going.

I also replaced my hand rolled post info toggle with Mathias Bynens’ Bulletproof HTML5 <details> fallback using jQuery using Joe Anzalone’s WordPress plugin HTML5 Details Polyfill.

I’m getting FOUCed and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. The plugin is loading the CSS and the jQuery in the footer of the page, I wonder if it should be loaded first to avoid the blink. I looked at the plugin code and it seems like that’s the intent, I don’t know what it is about my WP installation that is causing the code to be loaded last.

Meanwhile, I have an idea for a poem. It’ll be something like this:

metaphor

What spins the kalachakra?
Nothing, it’s just a metaphor.

anxiety is bursting at the seams
depression is recoiling into a safe cave
and mania is loving every bit of you!

Who spins the kalachakra
No one, it’s just metaphor.

poemlets discovered

The insights discovered in meditation are primarily non-conceptual. They concern the nature of experience — and to the extent that this can be expressed, only poetry or metaphor will serve.

It is better if you don’t think about it

What if while hugging your sister
You both dropped dead
And they find your tangled
Corpses in the morning
Would that be embarrassing
Or merely horrifying?
