Group Think

It sticks to grey matter, and membranes where a porous unmindfulness turns like a glitter-ball reflecting and repeating. It fills hotels or continents infecting all with an unquestioning acceptance. Restroom walls reveal collective urges. Once while snorkeling in the Mediterranean, I surfaced only to find the waves full of jellyfish. They did not sting but I felt translucent tentacles downloading their wet dogma into my persona. Back on the beach after their probing’s, I heard the sunlight talking directly to my skin. It said: don't listen to the jellyfish.

Thanks for the funny comment John. Glad it tickled a nerve for you. Yes those jelly fish are really aliens from some kind of California underwater commune. Did I just write that! Gotta take more water with my Rye. Cheers :-)
