This Wild And Wacky Omposm Called Earth

Fimnulg! my peepeez on our first Earth Day!

Earthforms love to celebrate, and they enjoy celebrating with liquids. Some liquids pour down and some pour up. When they open vessels of bubble juice they hear a delightful pop! --and the liquid flies upward. What remains in the bottle get poured into their body cavities. Though a bit late this year, the planet itself celebrated with liquids pouring up and down. It poured up in the watery region of the Gulf of Mexico and it poured down on the village of Nashville where earthforms garble their sonic emissions while wearing large hats. This year's celebratory squirting of oil created a dazzling display of kinetic painting upon the Gulf waters that brought to mind the ritual squirting of lightforms in the sky on the 4th of July. However, the downpour of liquids onto Nashville was much lacking in visual sparkle. There, the visual rewards suffered from a monochromatic brown cast which resisted any attempt by ambient light sources to reveal spontaneous expressions of contrapuntal variation in either tone or shape.

The Gulf oil spill (above Left) features dynamic swirls of shape and color that never ceases to enchant the senses as it weaves its way toward the coast of Louisiana in a sumptuous ballet of luminosity. The flooding in Nashville (above Right) failed to sparkle with its risky commitment to formal minimalism.
