evanescence

up late, it is Saturday, up late when compared to the rest of the weeek. There is no need to be punctual.
For what?
For whom?
For the cat?
For the sleeping son?
For the sleeping wife?
There is no work, the work is destroying.

The coffee from the machine is good.
Strong black bitter.
Read the news on the computer.
Deeds confused by viewpoint.
confusing purpose with result.
Things look different in anticipation than they do in hindsight
hindsight would surprise many who anticipate.

Surprise is the failure of anticipation
and it is the normal way of things.

Another cup of coffee.
look up the word "evanescent".
would apply to many things.
The physicists have a particular use for the word.
Sly waves whose amplitude reduces exponentially, right angles to a surface impinged upon by a low incidence beam, they fade fast, they fade into and out of the imagination.

and they want a picture of evanescence

To demonstrate a process, to elevate an idea.

The son
is up
walking about in night clothes
almost half asleep
almost one quarter awake.

He asks to go to the café
if he gets dressed, then ok.

A thought about that.
