Mention this to me and watch the weather change
Mention this to me
Mention something
Mention anything
Mention this to me and watch the weather change

Black then white are all I see in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me, it lets me see
As below, so above
Beyond, I imagine, drawing beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend
Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Missing opportunities
I must feed my will to feel my moment while drawing way outside the lines
Black then white are all I see in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me, it lets me see
There is so much more and it beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities
As below, so above
Beyond, I imagine, drawing outside the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend
Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Leaving opportunities behind
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line
Reaching out to embrace the random
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come
I embrace my desire
To feel the rhythm
To feel connected enough
To step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired
To fathom the power
To witness the beauty
To bathe in the fountain
To swing on the spiral of Our divinity and still be a human
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds
I open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I am reaching up and reaching out
I am reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me
Yes, whatever will bewilder me, following Our will
When we go where no one has been, we will ride the spiral to the end
And we may just go where no one has been
Spiral out
Keep going

The image below is from the Looney Tunes short Canary Row released by Warner Bros. Animation Studios way back in 1950. (68 years ago!) Sylvester the Cat is looking for something to eat and happens to spot Tweety Bird in his cage on the windowsill of another building. High jinks ensue.
Since there are so many people that have a dulled sense humor these days—if they have one at all—I will explain why this is funny: Sylvester is a cat, and it occurred to him one day that he should join a Bird Watchers’ Society to increase the likelihood of finding a tasty meal. Also, this is obviously a disreputable Bird Watchers’ Society if they allow a cat to be a member. It could actually be a Bird Watchers’ Society run by cats for cats, suggesting that there are many other deranged cats like Sylvester who already had the same idea.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re 7 years old or 70 years old—there is wonderful humor to be celebrated here. Unfortunately, children’s cartoons these days don’t do half of the things that Looney Tunes did, nor are they made for intelligent audiences. Meanwhile, adult cartoons, which are sometimes made for intelligent audiences, have to go completely over the top with every gag. I would say that the modern-day equivalent of this joke is a South Park or Family Guy episode featuring a new supporting character: a young professional from out of town who has been placed in charge of the local orphanage, but everyone is noticing that his behaviors and mannerisms resemble those of a child molester.
Actually, that would have been the equivalent joke back in 2008—in 2018, it is the same character, but in addition he regularly attends AA meetings even though he doesn’t drink alcohol. Maybe he also practices mixed martial arts every night to keep enough of his sexual frustrations in check so that he doesn’t ever mess up and get fired from his job.
I can only guess how politically correct children’s cartoons will be in another 10 years, and to what lengths adult cartoons will need to go to get their laughs. Sadly, there are literally many hundreds of top-notch Looney Tunes shorts that are largely ignored these days, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
