The Swan

Et tu, JP?

Something's afoot.

These are lovely photos of a swan and of mellow, fruity mists, but suddenly everyone's gone silent and is posting wordless posts.

Is no one writing blog posts anymore?

Is it left to the commenter to sort out life's meaning in stony silence, to distill her lessons from the grain of a graphic image, to... whew, metaphors and rhetorical questions are hard work!

Did I just miss a memo?

Tillerman said...

No.
Yes.
Yes.

JP said...

The post literary web is all about the image.

And a quick post leaves more time to read a book.

O Docker said...

So, eventually, there will be no books to read.

O Docker said...

...and the post literary web will have no posts - the post post web?

How does one post a post post post?

JP said...

We have been posting post post web posts! Just pictures.

What's next? Comments in the form of pictures!

As to when can read all books printed now.... I wonder how long that would be?

32 million books in the library of congress, so one book a day that's 87,611 years. Might be a bit of a challenge.

O Docker said...

Hmmm...

Must post a post post post post haste.

JP said...

Yes, you must!

Tillerman said...

Why does your swan get 8 comments and my swan 0 comments? Is it because my swan is black?

JP said...

I'm not sure that black swan was a picture you took yourself: I think it was borrowed from the interweby thing.

My pic is a genuine JP original!

Tillerman said...

You are correct. However, somehow I do have some photos of black swans that I did take in Perth.
