:: Cigarette Beetle 

Pico della Mirandola was right: one man and one horse can make a Marlboro ad. Without the man, you'd need at least three horses, probably galloping. The drawings in Gabriel Pomerand's Saint Ghetto des Pres, which introduces a new visual language, was written with the newly-introduced ballpoint pen. When I first get up, I'm as tall as I'm going to be and, as the day goes, gravity shrinks me little by little; but in the morning, I'm tall again! 

:: Hide Beetle 

Playing video games did not train me to fly robot bombers, but Pac-Man has helped me find parking spots downtown. I can't figure out if they universe is moving from a state of order to a state of disorder, but I know I'm having trouble keeping my sideburns even. A roll of the dice will never abolish the need to crap. We aren't laughing at each other. We aren't laughing together. We're laughing at the same time. 

:: Snail-eating Ground Beetle 

I was opposed to her thumbs but not to her toes. The news showed the video of white and black troops firing into the village to prove that the races could work together. I can't forget many things that didn't happen. I keep losing bits of myself: this is called information.
