Mind reading and other things. . .

Would I like to be able to read minds for a day? Probably not. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where Darren from Bewitched gets the ability to read minds. He finds himself in all kinds of awkward situations like when he's in an accident and the driver is so apologetic, but it is really thinking, "What a clumsy oaf!" He also finds out that people are planning crimes, but realizes that they're not really serious about it. The moral here is that ignorance is bliss where other people's thoughts are concerned.

On an unrelated note, I just learned that I won third prize in a poetry contest which I had actually forgotten about.

Here is the entry:

I also just entered this poem in a contest:
