 Man's preponderance
with Outer Space. What we can't find in our own souls,
we imagine with our Busy DisneyLand-makers upstairs and
project outward onto Barn Walls. Wall Mart Walls. The
truth is "out there" somewhere. Ask Science,
they haven't found it yet. Ask religion, they'll
conveniently keep you counting sheep until you die. Ask
Aunt Martha, she'll just look at you funny over her 3-D
Spectacles. Shoe
answers the Rest Of The Story with a little piece so Restful
and Sublime, you'd think you were in Belfast, N. Ireland.
This is truly
a "bubble bath of earthly delights". Reminds
you of the smell of flowery, bubble-gummy shampoo on the
hair of your gum-chewing 16-year-old girlfriend, if there
was such a thing. Were you 16? Did you date? Did
you keep your hands in the right place? Did she smoke
afterwards?
 There's
only so many ways you can twist text and make it
look interesting. We're rapidly running out of
ideas here, but we're young enough to get up and try
again. It's
all organic and cheaper than air. It makes you want
to come back for more. It brings back the smell of
youth, the taste of Brylcream, the sound of beer bottles
smashing in the night. Ah, to be young, foolish and
wise, all at the same time.
