I #shout, at last I'm free
off to #find #new #adventures
gone the chains of #agony
I #need now but #bank on me

#towards yonder bluffs on high
as the #bank gets narrow
#shout to the sky
and hear it echo
we called an owl
that we heard call
it followed us down the Red
until it was the Black
& we turned upstream
until the Black was Ouachita
on up into Arkansas
600 miles of river I saw
"The high #temperature is coming up the decks #towards us," said the Captain. "Time to #bank the crew. Download them later."
"Good #shout," said the XO. "What about us?"
"You first," he said, blasting a hole in the XO. "No ship should be downloaded with her Captain."

I bear no #beak nor talon no #shout nor rant. To be #realistic in this world one must be #wakerife and #bank on a #collection of the weak of mind. Send them #toward the #ink wells to sign their existence away. That’s my scheme, my way. Let strife be their way.

#2WordPrompt Earthers #shouted obscenities #toward the sun after the star's coronal mass ejection disrupted the planet's power grids. Unable to recharge their electronic gods, and the endless stream of banality disrupted, they were now faced with the awfulness of IRL social interactions.
In #agony of indecision:
should I #bank it?
should I spend it?
The doubt #flower blooms;
a #shout scares me
#toward mindless flight.
I bank left then right,
indecision pursues.
Flight or stand?
Bank or spend?
Too many choices.
Paralysis.
Decision postponed.

It was only when the wind rose off the reef that he heard the mermaid shout his name, carried toward him like a blessing that had lost its way. And in that strange, salt‑bright moment, he felt the years loosen their grip, and he waded in to meet her.

I had the #blues
I got the #ink,
tattoo needle
like a #beak
pecking away,
blood everywhere
now I'm #wounded
it wasn't at all

it would

"What does it mean you will summon your master?" asked the outpost commander. "Be #realistic."
The thing in the corporal's body poured #ink onto the #floor. From the pooling liquid, a fierce #beak began to protrude.
"Evacuate the station," he said. Then, "Run!"

How do you like my design for a new #stamp?
It looks great. It’s very #realistic, especially the #beak.
Thanks! Oh, don’t touch it yet. The #ink is still drying.

When the lab door opened, the hybrid stepped out - human‑shaped, yes, but with a realistic bone‑plated beak that made everyone take a step back. When the scientists had recovered, Jason whispered to Alice, “Jimmy Durante’s snozzola has nothing on that thing.”

tho they had a #realistic #beak
twernt no bird
the beak & teeth was teak
to the 2nd ½ they deferred
other side chose to receive
that made em defensive
but on their #arm up their sleeve
was a tricker2 that knocked em pensive
as they chose to believe
youtu.be/E3R_3h6zQEs?...
Lifelike, but the beak
Is not realistic, a
Sharper curve required.

I used to be good
at remembering things,
now also #undecided
- because I can't remember?
Or that it no longer matters?
is there a #kit
to re- #arm my mind?
My #internal clock
is running down - or away?
No #salary can compensate
for these losses

My #arm was blown off, and the #internal wounds not worth my military #salary. This life would be over soon and then I'd be reborn into the fight in less than a day. Would we win this battle? Maybe. The interstellar war? #Dubious. Damn this auto-renew contract.

“The stipend, or #salary for the #internal #arm of the Holy Department of #Sacrificial Services is honest. However, the real reason to work here is the enjoyment one receives with the persecution of the innocent and worship of those most vile.” The priest grinned.

they put that joker on a #salary
& time lost its value
he wished he'd stayed hourly
it changed up the shootin' gallery
& he was trapped on the bottom tier
#internal memos flew
his raise the next year
percentage wise was .0002
now he was corporate #hand & it blew
free sodas tho
My #internal clock wanes
I'm old but #open #to #change
father time has played his #hand
#undecided where I land
wish I could cast a #spell
I'd #travel to release tension
but I got no dough
so I can't go
my #salary is a pension

His father told him a man’s salary didn’t matter half as much as the internal truth he could stand to live with. Hal did not believe it. As a young man, he had started out to save the word, but now in the throes of middle age found himself selling it as a real estate broker.

What say you to a #salary?
Equitable for you and me
A meagre sum,
but more to come,
if you kiss the boots and bend the knee.
You'll rise in ranks #internally.
Just you wait.. just wait and see.

Dopamine, that sweet
Internal salary, a
