Random fish #487

I am Random Fish #487. I eat food. Pickles. And squash. Oh my god, spaghetti squash is good.S P A G H E T T I S Q U A S H.- cut into two halves. as un-symmetrical as possible. you can't go wrong with knives and the inability to use them. :D- fill a tray with water, depending on how big the tray is, fill it 1/6 of the way with water after placing both halves of squash in; face up, with it's guts staring at you.- place in a microwave for appoximately, exactly 34 seconds or longer, depending on your machineries efficiency. you're looking to make the insides uber soft. maybe read the next step before continuing.- grab a nice fork to scrape the insides to where they are loosened off the "shell" of the squash. scraping should resolving bits coming off in strings, like spaghetti (geddit?). do this as much as you can, like eating as much watermelon until you reach the tasteless, white bit.- leave the contents in the squash, or dump them in a bowl. i leave them in the squash because i don't need to clean more.- add salts and pepper after you add some butter. stir. now its like mashed potatoes with a whole lot more work (or less, never made mash potatoes).GOOD WITH STEAMED CARROTS. BUT NOT PEAS. DO NOT ADD PEAS.

Not Necessarily By Choice (a Haibun)

Instant gratification.  Instant disappointment.  Dreams of yesterday and a blind tomorrow. Talk of closing doors and opened windows does not quell fear.  The unknown is too familiar.  Teetering on the precipice of what was and what will be.  The path is unlit.  In darkness all is equal.  There is no direction.  There is no certainty but that any motion will let gravity take hold.  Falling, falling, falling.  Blindfolded by emotion, a lightless tunnel.  Hoping only to land on the side facing forward.  

Thrown into change
Dragged into tomorrow
Clawing the past


Status quo has been erased.  Eradicated by others.  There is no escaping pain, there is no eluding fear.  Time stood still for ages and the clock has begun to tick in time with the very heartbeat of life.  There is more, more to be desired, more that is deserved, more life to live, more joy to find.  How bad is the hunger?  How strong the need? Driven by hope or fear, or both but driven.  Driven to a new sense of self.  A renewed confidence found only through the art of release.

Tides will rise and fall
Sun rises in the morning
Change is imminent
