Byline: Dance of the Cobras
Birds sing, man interprets.
Nature provides the model for our knowledge. We gaze at trees, see their branches, their organization in their leaves, the fractals found in snowflakes and ocean waves, the shimmering layers of oil tinged water.
The information contained in your images is the best kind of art history. I surf upon the midnight cool, the dark wild, the blue unknown, seek an evil noir and a lavender lust pining for plumes of iridescence in a vinegar wash washing down cocktail nuts with a cool Chianti.

Bottom purveyors do the dance of cobras in slick oil gulf waters then piss on a nation already pissed from past sins, shifting masks and abstract shadows. Don't be mad at me because your invented gods disappoint you. The disturbance in the rhythm isn't my fault.
Misinterpreting the prophets who howl in the wilderness, while birds chirp, is your hang up not mine.
