ILLUSION LOST ON ME


Ever had a day when you wish you were somewhere else ...
I was trying an observation ...


It's no accident that the Windows screen on my PC defaults to sky blue.

Windows, sky blue, I can see the laughter that went around the office at Microsoft when they decided that one!

An illusion, like seeing faces in clouds, to make us feel good about where we are.

That little flag too, no accident, pretty flower in the blue vase gently blowing in the breeze of the window, a small, not insignificant gift from Bill Gates.

Such a clever lot that lot at Microsoft! Leaving the label on, nice touch guys.

They think I will want to spend my whole day staring into the Window, beyond the window beyond the blue skies.

But the illusion is lost on me.

Dependant on my fingers dancing over the stepping stones, choreographed to perfection.

Of my hand gently squeezing the ears of the rodent, who I need to be my friend

Dance, dance, miss not a step. Be much more gentle with the right ear.

Looking to the other window,

the sky is grey.
