My Own Personal Itasca

The canoe on the third fissure from the left when looking from the back towards the middle gains steam. The waters of the pituestuary flow fast & deep and flood walls & levees need be built so as to blocjk the sunshine from drowning. The light reflects from teh new waters and makes the whole world a new color, and these new eyes are able where their preedie cessors were in-so, and they watch teh whole mass once gray pulse & beat & buzz with excitement as the New Electricty reaches the Endorfinite Hallways which are lined with yellow doors each leading to new idea. The canoe tips and her passenger has to tread water which is now quite trecherous since the dam broke upstream where it all starts - the Headwaters... My own personal Itasca! The Thoroughbred Longitudes are gone for good, for good or bad, There is no more stasis in the sea of bland wonder & peculiar fantasy. There is no more wallow in the hollow for the shallow waters are flooded and the deep end is everywhere now. Does "gone off the deep end" mean that somebody got out of the water? It can't mean jumping in the deep end because that would be gone IN the deep end, so going "off" it must mean being in the deep end, perhaps submerged and then going away, going farthjer, beying the water, maybe into the tiled floor of the pool or maybe into the water itself or the chlorine - I've been sterlized too long - it's time to takes some chances in the murk. Time to let down the guard and open-eyededly charge forth to the visible but non-existant horizon and soon turn back around and see how far it's been.
