If I won the lottery

If I won the lottery I would rent billboards and put phrases on them. No photos or decoration. Just the words themselves because words have a beauty and power all of their own, and short phrases, like snatches of overheard conversation are a doorway to the imagination.

Like this perhaps :-

The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

by Steely dan


Or this :-

And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here.

by Tom Waits.


Or even this :-

Just like dyin'. 'Cept you can still feel the shame.


By the Black Keys.



Life is never dull when you can imagine.

No you wouldn't. You would put the money in the bank and worry about what you should do with it, and make the rest of survive on an old mankie aubergine.

Hmmm . . . . "Manky Aubergine and Tomato soup" or perhaps with ginger or spinach . . . .

Methinks you may be right there but of course you cannot rush these things . . . .
