About God, likewise here. When my bro was 10 & i, 6, he had his appendix out. When he returned from hosp,I kept begging 4 him to drink water. Everyone asked why i begged for that & i said i wanted to see the back up aft surgery opens! water run out…no one told me they sew

That would have been a great party trick if you could see the water pour out after the operation lol, I think I’m on a slightly different wavelength here, who knows maybe I’m not! Cheers David

To see the water rush out, as no one told me they sew closed what the surgery opened. Sorry for the vast typo. Thanks for bringing back a memory

God is everywhere, the poster tells me, but just to remind you, you'll yell my name when your side really hurts. Why do puppets always stare at you.

It’s probably a Carte Blanche kinda stare, no strings attached! Cheers David

Loved the contrast. Quite witty.

Thanks Victor, just below the wit, is perhaps a more interesting story, cheers David

What I feel, with what little I know about our David is that I can rely in your faith within yourself, that's security. You are certainly secure, best quality. As for my interpret. I'm just happy I still have my appendix. Aha I learn from DD! Hey Dilly.

Heya Anaya! Yes never mess about with any appendix, unless you’re sure it needs a little more scrutiny, a few extra layers are sometimes needed to be cut open, like in this monoku, to see a little clearer what we’re actually dealing with, cheers David

I keep coming back to reread this one and getting overwhelmed with the intellectual layers. Too many synapses snap all at once and I have to step back. Love the word play with puppet and master / individual and god. Then I get lost in the concept of appendix being source reference and an unnecessary organ that can still kill you. Plus what it is to be sentient... I go on in terms of the presence of a god juxtaposed with organised religion... If this was on a cave wall we'd study it en masse :)

Oh no! I never thought of such consequences, what would such a world look like! Don’t answer that lol!

Hey!!! But haha maybe your writings if on parchment or cave wall and discovered would lead to some kind of glorification. It would serve you right if you get declared a saint now in a parallel universe lol

Ahh yes, appendix is added (in my line of work it's an essential to reference document to ensure understanding of the whole). You're so clever but luckily patient too :)

Heya Dilly Appendix (something added on) sometimes useful, often not, perhaps like strings, the puppet feels its own but believes its master’s to be flawed, juxtaposing god and organised religion just like you say, I worked on this one for a little bit, just to add a few extra layers and dimensions, some cryptic of course, couldn’t give the entire game away to the cave dwellers lol! Thanks so much, cheers David

A very clever and subtle poem David....your work always engages the mind, reference the appendix. Just love how that brain of yours steps out of itself to grab a unique view. Keep em coming my friend.

Some legerdemain with (appendix) here Paul, just seemed the obvious yet cryptic choice to bring this one together as seen from a few different perspectives, thank you so much, cheers David
