Death
where is thy sting! In the universe of Russell Edson, the reality of
death can be a soft tomato resting on the surface of the moon. Sometimes
the tomato will turn white, sometimes the tomato will crumble and
sometimes the tomato will be eaten by the little moon mice that have
been living, invisible to human eyes, on the surface for thousands of
years. And sometimes the mice and tomato roll in a crater accidentally
on purpose.
ACCIDENTS
A man had accidentally gone to bed.
When he noticed it he was terribly embarrassed, and said, Of course
I'll marry you, please don't cry. And then he accidentally fell asleep.
Some hours later he found himself eating breakfast. And again embarrassed said, Of course I'll pay all damages . . .
And
then one day found himself on a psychiatrist's couch. And after
promising the couch a nuptial alliance, said, Doctor, my life just seems
one long accident, is there anything I can take for it?
Not to worry, smiled the psychiatrist, Sooner or later there's the fatal accident, which often lead to a total remission . . .
