Like a mosquito
Able to needle the thread
Up my baggy pants
Delivered an itchy bite
On a most indiscrete bit

Silence
the gift of silence
switching off outrage machine
not keeping score of
politicians and pundits
lighting their farts in public
Passion
Not sure about this passion stuff
Seems the plaything of the martyr
Running from too tough to too rough
I'll stick with good old fashion fervor
Even that may be a bit off the cuff
Perhaps I'll just have a pint of ardor
Then retire when I've had enough
Shuffling
There was an awkward shuffling
As the punch cards hit the floor
Reel to reel
Punch tapes
Cassette tapes
Rocking grooves of all sizes
Disks both floppy and hard
Cards
SSDs
A.I. drooled, guffawed, and snorted
“I’ll take this mess and get it sorted”
It’s ravenous maw gobbled ’em up
Battle Kitty
Frizzle Frazzle Frumph
I think I've had just enough
Slicked back battle fur
Missing whiskers. Outcast stoop.
Back to the shadows again
Great Dane Jaw

over my back 🐸 stretched out on a cruel rack 🐸 the water dripped to the ground
a frog would sprout 🐸 with each drop on the earth 🐸 combo platter night before

Partly Blue Sky IV
standing
at the apex
of an emotional
cul de sac
at the edge
of an arete
the minor goddess
Arete appealed
to my innate
sense of #arete
to step back
not to kiss her
with a ...
Teetering between hope and dread
The national #ambience reflects
Bloated corrupt personification
Of everything wrong in our head
Past sets the table's vibration
Climate repast served piping hot
We need a new aura menu soon
Or we'll keep getting what we got
#autonomy spent
soiled with each passing year
squash my mortal seed
parking in a forest preserve
after a double date
the chorus of our
collective youthful #ardor
spilled out the car windows
into the surrounding trees
sending all little furry critters
scampering for safe harbor
Redeeming #attributes everywhere
Yet not a single one to share
I know redemption doesn't sell
Cause the algorithm told me so
It's the only way to tell
Media fodder #puzzle of the day:
If it thinks
If it slinks
If it stinks
Like garbage.
Then what is it?
decaf coffee left
me #hollow and cold even
if filled to the rim
Under Blues Skies III
A system that sows
A grapes of graft vineyard will
Be choked by it's vines
My telomeres are tired and my cellular membrane just ain’t as thick as it used to be. What once upon a time would set my cellular messenger RNA ablaze, scorching my mitochondria; now at best only kindles #aglow within my nucleolus.

Refreshing #awareness in
my myopia
A: A polite way of describing, “I got mine Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.”
Q: “What is business #acumen ?”
I achieved peak self #astuteness with the realization that I couldn't monetize the lifeboat concession on the Titanic.
Some people are wired that way.
Others are not.
My tipping point after greeting one of life's many icebergs.
Too soon?
Ended with loathing
Ignited with blazing lust
Never #amity
sure, infinity
and beyond equations
are all well and good
but my struggle
is ciphering
an #affinity for now
Haven’t the Foggiest
No clue
Hey me too
But don't be blue
Join the crew
Haven't the foggiest
When we're the groggiest
Making life the shoddiest
Like a well meaning hobbyist
But
I know
What I know
Until I know
Something different
Do share
If you think you
Know different
Even seeming indifferent
More likely ambivalent
But I remain diffident
Spanning irreverent
To the irrelevant
Like the room elephant
The word(s) for today is(are) No Clue! We humans like to “know” things and to be right. I’m the first to agree, well, maybe not the first, that uncertainty is uncomfortable. I don’t even have a clue about the temperature outside. My phone says one thing, my actual thermometer says another thing, and the national […]
RDP Friday! No Clue!
Stream On
fluid emotions
spread all over a lifetime
a deluge of hope
soon will be a trickle down
good ol' waste fraud and abuse
