The Locomotive by Julian Tuwin (translated by W. Wipple)
Tumblr media
A big locomotive has pulled into town, Heavy, humungus, with sweat rolling down, A plump jumbo olive. Huffing and puffing and panting and smelly, Fire belches forth from her fat cast iron belly.
Poof, how she's burning, Oof, how she's boiling, Puff, how she's churning, Huff, how she's toiling. She's fully exhausted and all out of breath, Yet the coalman continues to stoke her to death.
Numerous wagons she tugs down the track: Iron and steel monsters hitched up to her back, All filled with people and other things too: The first carries cattle, then horses not few; The third car with corpulent people is filled, Eating fat frankfurters all freshly grilled. The fourth car is packed to the hilt with bananas, The fifth has a cargo of six grand pi-an-as. The sixth wagon carries a cannon of steel, With heavy iron girders beneath every wheel. The seventh has tables, oak cupboards with plates, While an elephant, bear, two giraffes fill the eighth. The ninth contains nothing but well-fattened swine, In the tenth: bags and boxes, now isn't that fine?
There must be at least forty cars in a row, And what they all carry — I simply don't know:
But if one thousand athletes, with muscles of steel, Each ate one thousand cutlets in one giant meal, And each one exerted as much as he could, They'd never quite manage to lift such a load.
First a toot! Then a hoot! Steam is churning, Wheels are turning!
More slowly - than turtles - with freight - on their - backs, The drowsy - steam engine - sets off - down the tracks. She chugs and she tugs at her wagons with strain, As wheel after wheel slowly turns on the train. She doubles her effort and quickens her pace, And rambles and scrambles to keep up the race. Oh whither, oh whither? go forward at will, And chug along over the bridge, up the hill, Through mountains and tunnels and meadows and woods, Now hurry, now hurry, deliver your goods. Keep up your tempo, now push along, push along, Chug along, tug along, tug along, chug along Lightly and sprightly she carries her freight Like a ping-pong ball bouncing without any weight, Not heavy equipment exhausted to death, But a little tin toy, just a light puff of breath. Oh whither, oh whither, you'll tell me, I trust, What is it, what is it that gives you your thrust? What gives you momentum to roll down the track? It's hot steam that gives me my clickety-clack. Hot steam from the boiler through tubes to the pistons, The pistons then push at the wheels from short distance, They drive and they push, and the train starts a-swooshin' 'Cuz steam on the pistons keeps pushin' and pushin'; The wheels start a rattlin', clatterin', chatterin' Chug along, tug along, chug along, tug along! . . . .

My first trill Billie listen, came to me while I was writing for another zine. The editor asked me to find charming art to muse, and my music sensors just kinda went off. Know how you see those Apple Music alerts swooshin' across your Mac? They can grab ya quick! She did that. Her artwork usually holsters a haunting edge, alongside an alluring innocence, that scores the essences of who she holistically is as a performer. True, “Bad Guy” is an Alt. Pop classic, as it almost fuses, like a mash of 90's Alt. Grunge and early 00's Trip Hop. Yeah, everyone knows about 'Where We All Fall Asleep...", while I lowkey felt like the single, "I Love You" may be one of the best songs, ever, while "everything I wanted" virtually vibrances everything I feel I need to voice it as Alt. Pop mastery.
Cut to the latest Single & Video release, "xanny"; I pretty much just put it on repeat while I wrote. Let's give credit to her team, their choices, and ultimately Billie herself. Recently, the media motioned to possibly meander her away from one of the greatest years in Pop on the planet; however, she handled it with grace, endurance, excellent performances, and a few AMA's. The even cooler thing about it all, is that Lil Eilish is one of those artists, who are worth the accolades. She’s the truth y’all. Grammy's??? Next....😉

You teach them so they can become better than you. This moment showed me I am doing right by him. Truly a very proud moment for me. But i'm not gonna lie... him saying 'DeRozan' then swooshin' it hit my competitive nerve for a split second. 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/Chx8ZggJxtY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On a whim, I decided to where a dress that I have never worn before while going out today. That same whim gave me the idea to put on makeup as well.
Tbh I felt pretty, and love the swooshinness of the dress skirt. My makeup was minimal but it looked nice to me.
