WELL, EARLY IN THE MORNING...

... About the break of day. I was walking to catch the train and encountered the biggest block of polystyrene I've ever seen. This one's a record breaker. No doubt about it. I gave it a poke to ensure it was all one piece and it moved as one. I was slightly in awe. As the righteous shrill biblical holler of Peter, Paul and Mary shuffled onto my ipod randomly at the same time, it felt like some sort of sign or omen. But I can't decide what.
When I got to work and youtubed that song still ringing in my brain, it came as a shock that Mary actually appears to be one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the still totally right-on and relevant gospel-folk (with slightly creepy Christian undertones) circuit. That's still going strong right? I mean I wouldn't wanna not be relevant in anyway. There's about three people reading this who I'd hate to let down. I imagined her as some sort of Mama Cass in a nun's habit type thing. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. I just needed an enormous piece of thermoplastic polymer to show me the way. Peter and Paul's combover plus goatee get-up is pretty out there too. I might try and bring it back. I've already started on the hair.
