shapeshifting
X
From a Croatian book of tales,
Sixty Folk-Tales from Exclusively Slavonic Sources
the fable entitled
“The she-wolf”
tells of a huge she-wolf with a habit
of turning into a woman from time to time
by taking off her skin.

Shapeshifting
has symbolic significance,
like the Beast’s transformation in
Beauty and the Beast
demonstrates Belle’s ability
to accept him
despite his appearance.
X
When a shapeshift form is taken on
involuntarily,
the thematic effect can be one of confinement and restraint;
the person is bound to the new form.
X
X
Voluntary shapeshifting
can be a means of escape and liberation.
Even when the form is not undertaken to resemble a literal escape,
the abilities specific to the form allow
the character to act in a manner
that was previously
impossible.

SHAPESHIFT
Bryan, dear man,
was the
YES top drawer in BIKE sales
who assisted me purchasing
my first MOUNTAIN BIKE
at
Tom Wichelmann’s BIKE SHOP.
BEAUTIFUL + YESSSSS
after other BIKE SHOPS directed me to tricycles!
Bryan’s SHAPESHIFT:
TOP drawer in bike sales
to
EMS and FIREFIGHTER / St. Paul!

This afternoon,
I was on TWO wheels
– not a bike.
On a wheel + chair!
TEMPORARY!
X
Our encounter
was after I had wheeled for 3.5 miles
along the Mississippi River
with my K9 Zachary
attached to the chair.
As I was rolling UP Broadway,
a FIRETRUCK was parked!
A firefighter at the wheel of the fire truck
JUMPED out
when he saw me!
BRYAN!

CATHERINE L. JOHNSON 
It’s understandable to compare BoJo to Bozo (Trump) because their common traits were substantial. But it is far more revealing to compare their political parties. Johnson’s party still holds some integrity. Trump’s GOP has voluntarily given up any that they still possessed after he became their standard bearer.

‘…Neither Johnson nor Trump truly took seriously the responsibilities of their office. Both preferred bluster to serious study. They are showmen not statesmen, given to rhetorical excess and flashy displays, reveling in the roar of the crowd. Both have a propensity to spread false claims, even when it’s obvious…’
