several months ago, the title of the article ‘moths drink the tears of sleeping birds’ captured a bit of my brain and repeatedly drifted through my thoughts during the following weeks. it may sound pleasantly symbiotic, but the information the article contained was somewhat disturbing. i had no idea that some moths are really tiny nocturnal saline vampires [well, i knew about the tiny and nocturnal part].
it caused me to wonder many wonderings, such as: if there are no birds, what do the moths do? would human tears, for example, make an acceptable substitute? should i be sleeping with my head wrapped in gauze?
and, of course: how soon until ‘moths drink the tears of sleeping birds’ is the name of someone’s song/album/band?
i thought of it less and less until recently, when i came upon another phrase which evoked a similar response, though with more sinister and even more disturbing overtones.
‘creep grazing for suckling calves’ is, of course, an article from the field of animal husbandry. in addition to my concern for calves’ welfare, i couldn’t help but wonder: would ‘creep grazing for suckling calves’ be a good name for a follow-up album?
that’s all i’ve got. |
