It's hot and sticky and the air is webbed by flying spiders. I wonder how they get up into the airstream from my face. I bid them godspeed. It's a funny time of year. It's a strange season. People have an impossible task determining what's true, most of the time. We know the government serves the war machine and lies to us all the time, more and more absurdly and outrageously, while they kill and kill for land and money. We know that much. We know democracy is in truth a global criminal enterprise. Anyway I was just going to ask, is this a preying/praying mantis, or what?
