2020: Day 3

World War III is trending on Twitter, alongside 'Russia and China' and 'Franz Ferdinand.'

Do you know, I almost think people want it, they bang on about the next war so much. Certainly in the UK, there is this sentimentality about War and how it brings out the best in us, brings us together. They dream Went The Day Well?, they don't imagine Threads .
In another war we might all stop being angry with each other about Conservatives and Brexit and Trump and Greta Thunberg, we would all be united with one noble aim. Where is the obliging enemy? The EU is being rubbish at foedom, if only we had our own Thanos to fight! Forward to the Past a marching band of idiots who, unable to find interest in their own lives, quiver for the romance of ruin and rise, the pioneering spirit that will somehow be at once totally self-reliant, a law unto itself, and yet also a mainstay of community in the AftermathTM.

Anyhoo.

More dreams of a great garden, my mother cutting lilies off the stems in the grass. I asked her why and though she gave an explanation she clearly considered rational, I didn't understand it. She was gesturing to their colours, or their reflection on the ground, and this made no sense to me. The lilies were a dull orange/mustard colour, not like real lilies at all, I looked for pollen or anything that might be reflecting them, and for sure the ground was rust-like, but there was nothing more to it than that. I was travelling with a friend of mine (LG) who was most displeased by some guy copying him. He showed me a strange and complex series of messages online, I had no idea what he was talking about.

Theme: Me just not getting what is going on. Sounds about right.
