Of the propeller that really wanted

the propeller that really wanted, originally uploaded by jonolist.

as unglam as its gonna sound i thought this was very poor thing/beautiful

i was taking a piss at some random neighbourhood shopping mall before running off to attend a friends malay wedding. and just above the urinal was this little skylight window with a exhaust fan stuck to it..

And you know when old pals get married, you kinda have this sudden catharsis? like how your peers really took a different route from where you're going? and all that other thoughts about your so called "life"? I don't really see the link myself but i thought whoever placed the exhaust fan here must have talked to it and heard its dreams of being a propeller on some jetplane. The one that wanted to see the world and didn't want to be stuck in some random public toilet.

So whoever placed it there heard its plea and propped the fan up the window. Hereis where the setting sun shines thru, with the beautiful sky with the specks of cloud and the large plains where everyone seems so tiny(its in the Woodlands field...but well you make do with what you have lah). Here was where the propeller could pretend to be like the big props in the sky.

so take heart young propeller, one day you'll break out of the glass prison your in, get recycled and end up as a prop on the worlds first recycled plastic commercial airplane. (isn't recycling all the rage now?) There you'll see vast oceans and jungles that stretch into the horizon. Everyone else will hear your story and more exhaust fans will be placed on windows (which is silly but really nice! like in this picture) hoping to be a big prop like you one day.

So dear propeller, keep on spinning !
