So many things to brush
Teeth
Hair
Pets
Beard
Clothes
Toilet
Pro Tip: Best use a unique brush for each.
Right tool. Right job.


Then the things to brush off
Creeps
Ignorance
Misinformation
Gossip
Nastiness
Lies
Stinking thinking
Trolls
So many things to brush off. So little time.
Right tool. But don’t be a tool


For expediency I painted this post with a broad; you know what.
But one thing you should really brush up …

Que
Cue
Queue?

I’ll refrain from sounding it out in ‘Merican
By shouting Quweyyy! As in Sooie!
So push your snout to the trough
Squeal away to the head of the queue
But get a clue
Whatever you do
Don’t miss your cue
Or you’ll have to sue

Pecking order sorted by brute force
Not a kinder or gentler course
Stampedes are the wurst
There I ago makin’ sausage agin
Divine right of kings
Royal schmoyal bling
Invisible caste system test
Visible caste system’s fest

Modern civilization delivers most
To the back of histories queue
A cue for the future queue
As sheep with out a clue
But no butting
As kids called line cutting

Now get in line and stop your whining
Because the uncivilized entitled
Need to gobble their fill
Of inhumanities fine dining
Time to take your organizing pill
Because queue courtesy is vital still

Life is But a Stream

That was the last thing I saw. A gaping maw. Life’s remorseless jaws chewing up all my remaining time. Spitting it back at me to punctuate the futility of all that had gone before. Worse yet, all that was yet to come. Yet still I pressed on. When I awoke all had been illuminated and I no longer gave a tinkers damn about what others thought was important. I have set my own priorities ever since. Only rule was to treat all others with kindness, respect, and empathy.

Recipe to turn a typical day
Into an atypical day:


Pour in your noggin
Monkey brain chatter
Lizard brain chatter
Right and left brain crosstalk
Add all your favorite savory
Cognitive biases and fallacies to taste
Fold in concentrated confirmation bias
Now fuel that with some chemicals
Prescribed or otherwise
Heat up with opinion of pundits dujour
Bring ingredients to a rolling boil
Now go do something
Even if it’s wrong


Viola!


Oopsie daisy. Just another typical day.
Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
