the eye of an octopus
similiar to human
but
no cones (humans use for color)
pupil is square instead of round

instead of cones
octopi have photoreceptors
that perceive polarized light
and the angles it arrives from

polarized vision makes possible
clear vision in water
without distortion of objects
caused by reflections

the square pupil allows
different wavelengths of light
to come into focus
at different lengths
from the lens

the octopi could process
this information
to differentiate colors

perhaps not quite ready
to fully greet the day
listen
it sneaks quietly into your mind
calming
lifting the corners of your lips
a burst of energy
lifts your energy
calming tones again
burst forth a smile
now ready for the day

light hearted but chill

album:
new dawn

musicians:

https://songwhip.com/dominic-miller/new-dawn

trees are made of
vertical fibers of wood
when alive filled with water
when cut and dried
replaced with air

bleach the lignin
color is removed
still opaque due to
refraction differences between
honeycomb walls and air inside

remove the lignin
the glue holding
fibers together in bundles
lay out a single layer
of honeycomb fibers

fill the honeycomb fibers
with acrylic to remove air
wood is now transparent
an incredibly thin layer
stronger than glass

4 layers of earth
crust
mantle
outer core (liquid)
inner core (solid)

a static tilt exists
between the rotational axis
of the inner core
and the mantle

causes an 8.5 year
inner core wobble
in polar motion
and daily rotation

this creates
greater densities
in the outer core
at the inner core boundary

the liquid outer core is caught between the differences
in motion of the mantle
and the inner core

affecting
the outer core shape
and fluid motion
driving dynamic changes
in the earth's interior

#potato loves molido puro

chili powder (molido puro) is
colorado or new mexico
dried red chilies
seeds removed (puro)
then ground (molido)

left over scalloped potatoes
sprinkled with molido puro
wrapped in corn tortilla
garnished with cheese
smothered in red enchilada sauce
baked or nuked till hot
