Walking Homonculous

Running out of time
Running on empty
Running on the spot

Why always Miss Walker
Never Miss Runner?

There is no walking category
in the Olympics

Powers Walker
I'm sure that's someone out there
A likely name, they just don't do that as a sport

Darts, snooker-mostly standing
Golf-could hurt yourself running
But walking not a prerequisite
Doesn't seem wheelchair friendly though

Walking on water
Running through fire
Not sports
Not miracles
No miracles in the age of television

Only blind belief in an objective perspective
The all-seeing-eye
Loftier than God

There is no God, only the viewer
Deities always need interpreters
Interpreters are subjective

Tea leaves
Chicken entrails
15 second bursts of televised information
How much Ronald Reagan?
How much MTV
How much Lady Gaga?

Trying to divine objectivity
The little man inside the little man
inside the mind inside the brain
inside the little man

Watching the little men

If we all shut out eyes
would they all go away?
