Untitled for Maria

I could be blind

And be just fine

So long as you tell me everything I need to see

Tell me everything I need to see

Like how the world has gone to hell

But it's how it needs to be

Heleen de Vaan made me a photorealistic butterfly!

When this arrived in the mail it caused quite a sensation at my house.  Two friends and I all had to look two or three times, very closely, to see if this was an actual butterfly somehow mounted on heavy weight art paper or maybe a finely detailed photo of one that Heleen sent to me.  I swear I can see the dust on it's wings.  It's simply unbelievable.  We were in…

Watching the clock, hands spin slowly...…
