  Well, the expression does come from an age where it was more commonplace that the artisan, the workman, the technician, would be making their own tools. Takes on new poetic meaning, in this age and economy.

  “A poor workman blames his tools”

  this is fine, in that first glance, and then you think about it for a moment…

  so much more going on in the maths, in what’s presented, and beyond,

  utterly confounding the point it sets out to make.

  magnets and copper wire?

  and a slip ring.

  and maybe a sand battery?

  or maybe a corkscrew to lift water, as a secondary store of power potential, that could then be toggled on to flow in low wind to keep a turbine going.

  Alas, that does not happen. There’s always more workahol. Not always more energy. Burn out is no fun.

  First time I tried to buy weed, I was sold mixed herbs, by the french exchange student. Cheeky git. I’m still pleased with my effort, as a 13 year old. First opportunity, taken. Pity it was bunk. Good lesson, learned early.

  The groceries that come out of the plastic shopping bag?

  They’re the family of the plastic shopping bag?

  So when we’re in the shop, filling the bag, are we impregnating the bag, and the pregnancy lasts for the duration of the journey home, and a typical healthy birth involves removing the groceries from the bag, and putting them in the cupboard and fridge and freezer and fruit-bowl etc.

  Then sometimes there’s a more difficult pregnancy and labour… like whatever’s going on there… up tree branches!? And still there are a family of groceries in there?

  … I think I should stop over-thinking this.

  It is an eccentric view, to entertain the invertedness of the mushroom, compared to e.g. mammals. The brain, and the digestive system is inside out! So it’s like we are all inside the mushroom’s digestive system. And inside it’s brain.

  So instead of being left alone to survive a while, I’ll have cluster B personality types seeking to use me up as fast as possible?

  I think I’d rather be treated like a bag of cheap weed, thnx.
