Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time

agency it takes a long
hunt to reclaim it

RDP Thursday – AGENCY
To deem something incomparable. Doesn’t that imply that you tried comparing it but failed. So clearly an attempt was made to compare it. That’s downright incomprehensible. Comprehending the process of a comparison of a thing that’s incomparable just gives me the existential shivers.
Obfuscation soaked
bone deep in free speech lucre.
Bread and Circuses
Very happy Wednesday and the Ragtag Daily Prompt is incomparable. The sky here can be incomparable. What is incomparable to you? Your sky, trees, the gardens, a comfortable chair? In romance novels, especially ones loosely based on history, a woman may be nicknamed “The Incomparable” for her beauty. Tell us what you find incomparable! Link […]
RDP Wednesday: incomparable
in shadowy dusk
rolling around in the muck
then passing the buck
Wrapped in the muck of existence
Gives form to humanities persistence
To consume, eliminate, reproduce
Stacking things up in order to deduce
What’s needed on top of the heap
Showing stuff we’ll want to keep
Knowing these too will be swallowed up
In the infinite stream of entropy muck

RDP Monday: MUCK
Volcanic activity has cracked the crust many times. From the heat of the moment all the way to the heat of infinity. Things warm. Things cool. Giving the energy to other things less energetic. Some things crack. Some things varnish. Some things vanish. All while wearing the cosmic crust of perception. Vulcanizing existence. It’s all in how you crack your fingers. What goes on in the under crust, only Vulcan knows for sure.
Desert varmints will
skitter over sunburned rocks.
Vanish in varnish

Life was going great until I heard that I needed goals.
Then the goal post kept being moved
Now back to merrily flailing about in the dark
I never miss my goals
🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅🥅
Rays beating down on
life here for billions of years.
Now that's a sunburn.

RDP Tuesday! Goal!
Kindling of A.I. origin
Falsehoods flame the main
Fan with boughs of balderdash
Smoke blinds a cache of cash
Murky waters mottle and schmooze
Senseless seekers still abuse
No amount of abluent cleanse
Will wash the historical lens
Cause where there is confusion
Money will be made in profusion
trickle to drizzle
downpour to monsoon gushed down
twixt lush fertile swale

RDP Monday: FAN
talk to text keeps us
talking not typing staving
off wind deficit .
When everything brings joy
Nothing does
When nothing brings joy
Everything does
I’m beginning to realize I enjoy contradictions. How realize and realise are the same word, just different spellings. Oh, what a slap in the face to the spell correctors of the world. Oh, what joy I found in how many times I had to correct the spell correct to get it to realise that I typed what I typed because I meant what I typed.
Very happy Sunday and the Ragtag Daily Prompt is realize. Sol Duc came to a realization this morning. She realized that the buildings around us are houses and that different people and pets live in each one. Why do I think that? She went up the walkway to our neighbor’s house and sniffed all around. […]
RDP Sunday: realize
got off financial
treadmill first in order to
evict wasteful chaff
Butterflies
Aren't free
Oleo sinks
Margarine stinks
Sorrow floats
Hope bloats
Bees sting
Birds sing
Money talks
B.S. walks into a bank, lies about assets, gets a loan, then uses other people's money to live life in a golden cocoon only to emerge
A pro
To con again
Still butterflies
Aren't free
Hello everyone! The prompt for today is, “Butterflies”.
RDP SATURDAY: BUTTER FLIES
Something I heard in
Grammar School still sticks in my
brain. "That'll learn ya."
Hardly Socratic
Often idiosyncratic
Sometimes bureaucratic
Can be dramatic
To overblown panic
Then in full tilt manic
Confused as Satanic
With a hint of tannic
Just erie Shamanic
No need to get frantic
Busboy asks patron,
"How long have the Olympic
Games been going on."
I reply uninvited
Two thousand five hundred years
A few chuckles from
the room. Then busboy says ,"I'm
sorry ma'am, what were
you saying?" My dates may be
off ,but I crack myself up.
