Semi-Daily Scribbles

Life is a laugh and a romp because Matilda keeps decrepitude off her heels. She simply avoids all reflection. Matilda refuses to allow the pile up of years to mock her from the other side of a mirror. She knows better than to look at faces and places overly long, and with a squint of the eye and her hard-as-granite melon tilted just right, everything looks soft and pliable. Matilda does, however, catch odd phrases on the wind like, "That insufferable woman just encases herself in a leathery rind of denial." Such is the nature of the odd phrase. Words can mean all sorts of things. Matilda lives with myopia and a rudder hard to starboard, and is happiest when she uses these gifts to blast convention out of the water.
