Shadow Boxing


hello box.

box with a bunch of symbols on top.

Font?

Font with an arrow. push it. go ahead.

it is magic. called a pull down menu.

menu?


menu in a window.


but what window?

and why is that line blinking at me?


it is trying to remind me that it will perform its duty.

just type.

type and it will make the letters appear.

in the window.

under the menu.

other symbols.


how do i know that the little "b" in dark type means BOLD?

and the little slanted "i" means italics.

How do I know?

Did anyone ever tell me?

never had a class.

my daughter has probably had a teacher tell her.

she will probably never wonder why we call these boxes or windows.

i like them. all of them.

especially the colorful little painting of a symbol. it means picture.

it means go find a pretty picture and put it in with your words.

a world. there is a wide world waiting.


the blinking line reminds me how fast. the pictures. how fast i can find the pictures.


do you want a picture?

do you want?

do you?

do?

d?

d


you're not really there are you?

what if i find a picture of you?

would you come then?

would you come to see your picture?

would you tell people that you found your picture in a box with a pull down menu?
