depth

depth. looks like death. looks like one of those words where you stare too long at it and it becomes something else. words words words, all what we make of them. manifestations of thought, mirrors of our minds.

roller

roller. rollercoasters and steamrollers. rolling as a motion, one of a vast set we are capable of. rolling, lolling, body as form and function, but also as art.

chained

chained. to a stone. like...prometheus? to have his liver torn out over and over again. metal and stone. great textures there - solid and immovable.

president

president. from preside, perhaps? to preside at the head. commander and chief. like many things, it's just a word, with it's own history as a word, but with all of the history behind it, it accrues power that it never had to begin with. such is the power of titles.

detour

detour. first thought: my whole life has been a detour so far. which of course implies a destination. interesting, if life is what happens when you're making other plans, and your plans are the destination, then life is necessarily a detour. it's the unexpected flow of your experience, driving you down blind alleys. no one can fight it.
