On Sundays people appear
More Godly than usual.
They pray and sing and say Amen,
Nothing is casual.

Take any bus or train in town
Or browse your neighborhood,
On this very day, everyone appears spiritual;
Everyone doing good.

Now--consider my old landlady,
Cigarettes and booze all week.
She steps outside in her Sunday's best
All done up and looking meek.

Red-polished fingernails
Painted shakily beyond the tips,
Penciled-on eyebrows
And red puckered up lips.

"Hello!" I said, she
Sweetly smiled, asking:
"Do you like my hat?"
I observed the shiny golden sequins--

The protruding wig, and replied:
"Yes I do!" at that.
I bid her a good day in church,
She smiled and meekly turned away,

But seconds later I overheard her say:
"Will you guys hurry up in there? I
Want to get back to watch
The F&#!king game!"

"The contents of a photograph are not facts, nor reality, nor truth. They are a means that we have created to extend our way of seeing in our search for ‘truth’". In his photographs of the objects and beings represented as "stilled lives", Pyke plays with the idea of the photograph as document, as a source of revealed truth." Sighted at { Steve Pyke--Photographer }

See{ Interlaced Portraits } by Ototoro and observe the relations between the two "viewpoints".

Kudos to all the people who linked to me including but not limited to those who took the time to make special mention on their websites that [ AbanDoned X-preSsionz ] is at a website near "you."

~Winkydinks~ to { Karina@In My Head } and also to { Monica@elysianfields } whom, in addition to "blogging" and other stuff also serves up some nifty and delicious premade layouts for others to use. You can see her designs "{ Here}.

Thanks to { Glish.com } for styling those glishYlious CSS layouts and making them easy to follow. Never tried a CSS layout before this one and so far I am happy with this one although sometimes I make all kinds of errors and the page ends up looking #!& mucked up.

Soon though, I'll be doing something different as this design falls under the minimalist approach which the team over at the { Minimalist Web Project } must also have agreed with, for they were kind enough to list my blog.

Hey { Antville }, thanks for the space!
