Allocation of Time

Once a year, before I recycle all my old New Yorkers, I go through them with an x-acto blade. I clipped this little pie chart out of an advertisement, and cut out the labels.

It feels to me like a gag cartoon that needs finished. (A la Indexed.)

Fill in the blanks in the comments.

    Little: Foetus.

    Big: Not a foetus.

    In general, but especially the last few weeks:

    I like all of these!

    [] (BIG) What we can’t see and understand
    [] (LITTLE) What we can

    Adding to previous remark …

    We can only see the segment. And then we say, “What is a circle?” There is no such thing as a circle. Show me a circle.

    Just waxing philosophic.
