I often answer questions nobody asks me. It’s a habit I’ve contracted, like a social disease, that helps fill silences. My answers to these unasked questions are often insightful, perennially mellifluous, and long, long, long…

Which is odd, ’cause in a previous life I was a poet, and am still a man of relatively few words. Never use seven words when four will do.

So, why is there a grasshopper inches to the left (as of this posting?) Didn’t the picture used to be of a wolf…like the English translation of your name?

There are always more reasons, but here are a few key ideas that you could Google for self-edification.

1. Keats grasshopper cricket poetry earth

2. cummings rpophessagr

3. grasshopper animal symbolism

And this little guy’s wearing glasses, too – so the concept of clarity piggybacks on whatever inherent symbolism exists. Plus, he’s reading, like me, since there was time now.

Aren’t you glad you didn’t ask?
