“We have to talk,” he says, before #veering to the right, to avoid cutting through the graveyard.
I keep walking straight, make him follow me. Why argue behind closed doors? What he has to say could be one of two things—and I’d like the dead to witness, either way.

Too many distractions. Flashing lights, rolling videos, information overload.
Brain can't stay on course. Got a job, got a plan, but I keep #veering off course.
So much pain, so much anger, sinking into a spiral of gloom of news and images
It's a fight to get one foot in front of the other #vss365

Just another trip
#veering us off the rails
courtesy of our deranged engineer
who ain't going anywhere

Those who still care
proclaim this latest embarrassment
is the last straw
but of course anyone paying attention
knows that box is as empty
as our future as a viable country

Hugh looked up before speaking and observed the airliner #veering towards the city on to the approach. "Paola left for her family somewhere in the south and Peony goes to live with a family down the street. And I... am to follow you, I think." #vss365

In a dark, smoky room a man with wires trailing from his head looks into an open coffin. In the background there are many open coffins with blue light glowing out of them and dark figures standing over them

In 2525 evolution added a new #sense: We found we could commune with the dead in their #coffins. It became known as #veering. When I tried, I found it hard to #relate to these ex-people. Repeatedly I had to listen to them complain how life is wasted on the living

Palmer looked at Hugh and then back where Paola had been and blinked, "What happened?" Hugh leaned to pat Peony and said, "Peony, hideyhole. Go to hideyhole." Hugh offered the bag and Peony grabbed it. It ran off, #veering to left because of the bag. #vss365

#Veering off the road of #hope.

#7SyllableSentence

A poet's nightmare
#bewildered, flapping
like a #penguin,
within a #wordless #coffin
#veering off a cliff
into non #sense,
unable to #relate thought
to sentence,
raising a cold sweat
upon my skin—
it happens
every now & then.

He #murmurs absurdities,
but does anybody listen
#veering this way, then that,
dragging the world by its fingertips
towards the cliff’s fine edge.
He cracks open a fine bottle of whiskey,
downs it without a breath,
then begins to count
all his vices
in the time he has left.

You say you can’t dance
so I take your hand
and slow waltz to the Blue Danube
But instead of moving gracefully
I keep #veering into you.
We push apart,
I set my speed,
plot a different trajectory
but gravity doesn’t negotiate—
I keep veering into you.

We long for bunny
But #veering life’s moguls is
A Black-Diamond Slope

Veering footprints drift
beneath the sky’s underbelly,
where clouds fold like restless wings—
each step a tremor upon vapor trails,
sketching paths where air dissolves,
and silence settles soft
as wingbeats folded into mist.
