Random German dude loitering on a staircase: “Wie geht’s dir?”

Me: “The gates are okay but the hinges are rusty.

While it seems the past years 
Have been taken by the boom 
Of a loud fat buzzing #Mosquito 
In the room 

Thank glorious insectile overlords 
For the power, wisdom, and pique 
To mute endless media harangue of 
Blather and Squeak

 A #yakamoz
 lycanthrope
May be good looking
But in reality is but a
Sneaking slinking skulking
Weak sad sack reflection
Of a full furred howling
Drooling biting snarling
Genuine issue werewolf

You liked the big lie?
Well step right up for this year's 
extra #jumbo lie.

This person
Up
On a platform 
Preening 
Like a bloated budgie 
In front of a mirror
Not #cute
Not #gigil
Just #sad

What's that trickling down?
#Sugar coat it all you wish.
It still amounts to
thinly glazed aerated pure
weasel sputum on a stick

Low expectations 
Have kept me #flexible now
In spite of myself
I can bend backward while I'm 
Looking at me in the void

From towering white pines to unusual beach species. Predacious bog plants to native prairie grasses. The plant diversity was outstanding in front of our dune home. Diverse #garden terrain wiped out for a sloping lawn to serve the spouse aesthetic. My biggest regret.

Was it finding myself floating in a roomful of white mist looking down at myself sitting at a computer?

More likely, that was an end.

Did it #begin when a foot, a bus, and the front bumper of a 1971 Checker taxicab tried to occupy the same space at the same time?

That began something.
