The normally placid priest
became incensed,
when he saw that someone
had stolen the sacred scent,
only to realize
he’d loaned out
the censer for Lent.

Do not call a doctor
if your introspection
lasts more than four hours.
It is not neurosis,
you might just be a poet.

Her gimmick inadequate
to capture attention,
her tragedy too commonplace
to monetize,
unnoticed
she drowns
in a sea of ubiquity.

The big spike in diesel is going to have quite an effect on food prices seeing as most farm equipment uses it.
Propaganda pipelines
pump poison prodigiously,
onto millions of screens
where it is consumed religiously.
Attention spans collapsing
in a flood of distraction,
we regress into a state
of conscious contraction.

We know the day is coming
we pray that it come faster,
when piggy is removed
from his pen
and put out
to pasture.
Just FYI those drones were reported stolen in November of 2025. The story is coming up again because they appear to have identified the suspects; should also note these were 4 small quadcopter drones.

#Lifeless I lay,
lost another day,
stuck while the world
keeps moving.
“It’s pointless to try,
you just weren’t meant to fly,”
speaks the voice of doubt,
all-consuming.

Is swimming allowed? What a beautiful spot.
#Jolted back to the present,
I catch my breath,
and look around the store
to see I’m the last customer left.
On the fifth shelf,
third from the right,
sits the book I now hold
demanding my sight.
"Excuse me sir?"
A voice calls faintly,
I cannot place from where,
"Are you OK?"
A woman stands before me
with a concerning stare;
"Just to let you know,
we’re closing in 5 minutes."
There’s a case full of medals
from the second world war,
next to a grandfather clock
standing six feet from the floor,
and reflected in the glass
that covers its face,
stands a floor-to-ceiling
cherry book case.
There’s a green bankers lamp
with a brushed brass chain,
a worn leather chair,
the gentle rhythm of the rain,
a mahogany desk
with carved lions feet,
aside a window overlooking
a stormy midtown street.
Second-hand book
smells of cigars and perfume,
and for a time I am transported
to an old study room;

Family of scammers.
Yea they are going to pull out all the stops to fuck with the elections this time around. They know they are fucked.
From trying to pass legislation like the SAVE act, to messing with voter rolls and registrations, to 'misplacing' mail-in ballots, to vote challenging, etc... Here comes the fuckery
#Panopticon artists
sell #privacy hedges
to the hedge fund class,
and for the rest of us?
Life inside a prison
with walls made
of one-way glass.
This is the state of a nation
under constant observation.

Great poem. RIP your loyal laptop! Hopefully in spite of the cost of RAM and storage these days the price wasn't too bad!
#Lonely words,
standing alone,
unaccompanied
by sight or sound.
Is it 'enough' anymore?
For you?
For 'them?'
For me?

It's a great time of year to dream of warmer weather and blooming flowers. Great photo and prose!
Photo was taken at a beautiful spot near me a few years ago. Temperature: ~60F. Fog: Mystical.
A foggy river bend overgrown on both sides.
#Imperfection is natural,
go look at the #trees;
scarred yet standing,
like you and me.

Shame on every soccer player who showed up to this.
Yep. They want an excuse to cancel elections and seize power totally.
Imagine how much nicer this country could be if Republicans weren't actively trying to destroy it and undermine it to cling to power.
This shit always sends me. Do these assholes really think Christ will return and thank them for starving people, killing people, demonizing and abusing immigrants, and being cruel heartless pieces of shit?
They aren't even following the teachings of Christ. They are just evil psychopaths.
When it does happen, it will be the single most patriotic thing he ever did for America.
Sullen faces
worn by #stress,
don't have to speak
yet still confess;
"no room to breathe,
no time to rest."

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." - Frederick Douglass in 1857
He was a true American patriot.
If Thiel wants to find the anti-christ he should buy a mirror. Dude is a psychopath.
