Dihydrogen monoxide, would you use it in your garden?









































Also to consider is the date.

It is so corrosive it rusts metal.
The behaviour of light means you observe me as i was then, and not as I am now.
I cannot change history, so I do hope i gave you a good impression of myself

It's great for pests. Use it liberally.

Not only in my garden, I try to drink at least 2 liters of it a day!
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Funny it can be invisible, walked on and sprinkled depending on the day. Versatile stuff!

Interesting, this particular type of thing gets and personally attacks and debilitates me every year, really just on one day of the year, like a horrible mental and emotional shock or a terrible one day plague or fever. My father is always the contagion, patient zero, yet always asymptomatic, the typhoid Mary of this phenomenon and I am his unwilling and highly susceptible host and why not, I seem to have zero immunity to this type of pernicious entity in spite of repeated exposures. There seems to be no vaccines that will provide me with any lasting immunity. I don’t even need to have close and personal contact with the host, the toxic effect is that powerful.

Every year a new toxic and catchy variant arises and 2022 was no different. This time, I was struck down at the drive through at the bank, maybe it was 10 am. It usually strikes in the morning, not first thing, though. The symptoms are shock, how did this thing happen?, with racing thoughts and a quickened pulse, how can homeostasis be restored? What action or actions must be taken immediately before even greater damage is done. This is how this particular malady generally presents itself in me. A temporary psychosis wouldn’t be an unfair characterization.

The disease has a rapid progression to disbelief. then a burst of anger, followed by remorse, then self-loathing, then finally laughter, all within perhaps 2 minutes. Strangest disease ever.

DHMO was strangely enough at the center of this. Loose watercraft figured in, wind, eventual destruction.

Yes, but is it safe to cast into?
