Dr Parnassus

So on a greyish evening with the air slightly electric, I walked up the hill into the cinema that's a hundred years old. I have hardly any money I thought I should be careful to make it last until my paycheck after checking on the machine. Then I came across a cafe and a man at the counter with a cheeky smirk. I asked him if the kitchen was open and for a sandwich. With pride he glowed back a yes on both counts and he shouted to the cook out the back to make it. I watched him make a white milkshake with something orange and brown. 'It's magic', he said. 'If you drink it things will change'. So I did I drank it and then I flew out the cafe and zoomed up to the old cinema. Inside I went up to the counter, the woman behind had woven bright blue snakes in her hair. I asked her for entrance into Dr Parnasuss' wonderous imporium and she said £900 please. I handed over the 100 pound bills and the snakes said thankssss. Then I flew up the stairs to the room with the giant screen and the boy at the door asked me for my ticket and as he did I noticed all his teeth were made of gold. The curtains opened as I sat down and we were soaring through the sky and arrived at the opening scene as Dr Parnassus opened up his travelling theatre. I was sucked into the screen and whirled through the scenes in different landscapes. I liked best the house in the mountains full of meditating monks, reciting the story of the universe because otherwise it wouldn't exist. Except the devil turned up and showed the chief monk he could shut the monks mouths so they couldn't tell the story and still, nothing disappeared of the universe. 'I see things have not stopped from not reciting stories, but it appears some things are true whether you believe them or not' said the head Monk. 'That may be' said the Devil, 'but do you play cards?'
'The universe has a will behind it, some tender hand of the unseen'. 'But do you gamble?' said the Devil.

Today I am....


a walrus, with big teeth. I'm pissed off!! I don't always want to eat ice! I want to bite into trees and stand on feet which make me tall or bounce off the earth, out of the atmosphere and to land on the moon. From where I can quietly sit and contemplate and accept my short legs, but then I could take a running jump OFF the moon and land smack bang in the middle of Trafalgar square next to Nelson and join the battle of Trafalgar, a modern day war which fights for the rights of people to visit the National Gallery ALL day and not have to do to work.
