Late Night Aphorisms

When late night drops on Big Frank it brings a few thoughts, but they usually come in disparate clumps better suited to aphorisms than to any structured poems. Here are a few.

1. The object of your desire is your desire.
2. We can say that we agree to disagree, but why not we disagree to agree, we disagree to disagree or that we agree to agree?
3. Life is not a journey (that entails a known destination); it is mere wandering.
4. Wishes are to desire what sparks are to a fire.
5. Music plays to the emotions in ways that nobody understands - nobody.
6. Language carries our thoughts like a bucket with a hole in it.
7. You can't see there from there.

i think for #5... music could be changed to art.

can you agree to agree or disagree to disagree to that?

Hmmm, Big Frank will have to think about that. He knows that art plays to the emotions - but, is it different with music. How about agree not to disagree, but disagree on immediately agreeing?
