[Recent events have wrangled my time and cogitation away from completing another essay in a timely manner. With all hope and no reasoning, I expect to post two essays in the next three weeks. Until then, all I have to proffer are my incoherent musings.]
Contemplating my navel
contemplating a navel orange
contemplating an orange whip
contemplating whips and chains
contemplating chain link fence
contemplating being fenced in
contemplating incognito
contemplating cognizance
contemplating Zanzibar
contemplating a bar of chocolate
contemplating chocolate kisses
contemplating the kiss of death
contemplating death becomes me
contemplating me and mine
contemplating my navel.
