Box You !


*


painting by Jeni Lee


Box You !

“The irony of sensory deprivation tanks is that in
order to think outside the box, you have to get 
inside of one.”--Ryan Lily

Joe: Hey,
whatta’ you know,
whatta’ you say?

Judy: I know
next to nothing,
and I say that sucks.

Joe: Who put
a bug
up your ass?

Judy: If you were here,
I would box your ears !

Joe: Bummer!
Too bad,
so sad--
adios!

    Your quadrille reminded me of Punch and Judy shows, Glenn, in which the puppets box each others' ears.

    Good quote from Ryan Lilly. Generalizing it, to think outside some box one has to get inside another one.
