On a certain spring day I wake up and decide I don't have cancer today. Flowers are growing and I feel happy. Yesterday I was sad, thinking I had cancer. Yesterday is gone and my girlfriend is gone. I remember she said she would get up early to buy Krispy Kremes for me.
The bees are buzzing outside my window. I lean out the window and try to learn bee language. It is difficult. I decide I can't do it. I wonder if anyone has ever done it. Buzz buzz buzz. What is that? Bees, tell me your secrets.
My girlfriend gets back with Krispy Kremes. There were a lot of fat people at Krispy Kreme, she says. I tell her about the bees. She says they are from a different planet. Alien exoskeletons, she says. It's so obvious.
A tiny brown something lands on the windowsill and glistens. It is bee feces and I realize the bees have no shame. They are free. Buzz buzz buzz. Be free, bees.
I eat two Krispy Kremes and drink coffee and smoke two cigarettes.
I watch the bees and smoke. One bee is different. He's built a leaf house, for privacy. He watches the other bees from the leaf house. He sips honey from a tiny wax cup.
I look closer and see the bee is writing on paper stolen from wasps. I want to say, write a bee dictionary in English. I want to learn about bee loneliness. It is impossible. The bee gets tired and sleeps. The bee twitches and buzzes. The bee dreams bee dreams.
Winter comes. My girlfriend gets sick of me and Krispy Kreme. I think cancer and dream cancer.
Snow covers the leaf house. I see the bee lighting a tiny fire of dry grass and writing with tiny bee gloves on, the kind with no fingers. His wings beat fast. He is strong and does not have bee cancer.
Para Target
I was fooling around on the web the other day, checking out some CSS sites, when I ran across some :target demos and thought “neat, yea, :target... wouldn’t it be nice if Opera, the most advanced browser in the know universe, supported this super keen CSS3 pseudo class?” Well Opera doesn’t... not yet.
I decided to make some demos, which are basic, and maybe useless. I kind of like them though.
There
are
four
examples
which display hidden content on :focus, :hover, and :target. Firefox loves them all. Opera only likes the :hover demo. Safari might like these too.
