one night, i looked up to the sky and realized, that the earth is suspended in space, spinning.
true, gravity makes sense; it’s the only scientifical explanation, that explains why i’m still sitting here in front of the computer, both feet on the ground. as we get older, we start to think that life is nothing but ordinary, although in reality, life is anything but.. commonplace.
daily life and continuous cerebral input of the same thing happening over and over again; people walking, communicating, building spaceshuttles, eating, fucking, baking cake,deceiving,buying lasagna,spreading hate,shitting on shoes, designing colorful mousepads, etc have made us draw lines of norms, of what is ordinary, of das sein, of das sollen, of what is, and what should, of what has been, and what is expected to come.
imagine if you see me fly across jalan jenderal sudirman, butt-naked wearing soccer socks -with manicured nails-, throwing chunks of shit at building windows, or pissing on top of transjakarta buses while dancing samba and spinning a hoola hoop on my dick … you would probably think that that is somehow ‘out of the ordinary’, wouldn’t you? now imagine seeing the same scene through the eyes of a newborn child…
for a newborn, seeing me fly across our capital’s main road, butt naked wearing soccer socks while throwing chunks of shit at building windows and pissing on top of transjakarta’s yellow tops while dancing samba and spinning a hoola hoop on my dick… is just as amazing as seeing his/her parents’ speak, or whistle, or stab the gardener..a newborn is full of wonder; to him/her, life -the world- is something mysterious and wonderful. he/she is like a blank cd waiting to be burned with wedding pictures or pornographical videos.
"to be a good philosopher, all you need is the faculty of wonder".. seeing me suspended in air butt-naked wearing only soccer socks should be impossible shouldn’t it?
one night, i looked up at the black sky, and noticed, that the earth is suspended in space, spinning.
