Kobe is heating up. His shots are falling from Staples Center's domed atmosphere like rain, becoming ice under the feet of the Celtics' slipping resolve. It's gametime. The NBA Finals. So much of the world is watching. I'm watching, adjacent to three of my friends inside Buffalo Wild Wings.
Adjacent to the TV showing the game is a TV airing CNN, which is showing a number of birds adjacent to each other. White birds. All looking like unfinished bronze figurines. How much of the world is watching? I'm watching. Like a four-eyed alien, I'm watching both screens with the focus of a Cyclops.
The Lakers are slaughtering the Celtics by almost twenty points now and it's getting ridiculous. Is this game rigged? Who brought rigs to the game? Nature is getting slaughtered right now and it's been ridiculous.
I keep wondering how long it will be before the reality of this oil spill sinks in for people. It seems like most just haven't really wrapped their heads around the long-term devastation of this thing. I guess because it hasn't really had a personal impact on the majority of humanity yet.
