this or that

they say a picture is
worth a thousand words
so I guess a picture of a
pile of shit
has more to say than I do
unless
I write another
969 words

they say that books
are always better
than the movie

how then
could a moving picture
that goes on for over 2 hours
not tell a better story than the
written word

it looks to me like
we�ve been bamboozled
all these years
and I can�t figure out
whether to look at more
pictures
or read more
books

decisions like this
plague me daily
creating forks of thought
and decisions
that shape the rest of
my life
