The Daily Dread

Future blends with past
Appreciate the blurring
Moment by moment

grounded our vessel
on a shopping mall reef of
excess consumption


price of admission
cost to survive belies the
myth of innocence


morning stare greeting
when I awoke you were there
turned into a glare



starts with tobacco
then weed, banana, eggplant
up in smoke blank stare



Quit when I told self
No need to inhale smoke
From ignited leaves


well placed tourniquet
may staunch national bleeding
but an infusion
of decency will refill
depleted levels of pride

A very empty parking lot outside a very empty shopping mall

Desanguination

A.I. image generated from tanka text of archaic physicians gathered around a distressed patient

The Daily Dread

schadenfreude days
current leadership takes time
to throw our nation
under the grinding wheels
on the bus of history


wriggling about in
homemade wormhole forever
forgot the timer



Civilizations
That hibernate in the sand
Tell tales we should heed


Reliving adventures with biscuit
Geezer and Geezerette joy 😂

The Daily Dread

Contrarian stand
Refuse to rotate my tires
I'll die on that hill



If you scooch over
I'll rotate just a little
We'll have something there



I know where to go
When feeling parched and lonely
Next morning more so



A librarian
Can be most contrarian
Because they read books



Karmic justice will
gestate in it's own time

No need to push it
Karmic justice will gestate
Eventually

The Daily Dread

Myth creates the caste
Idolatry glorifies
Selfish behavior
Over good for the many
With fictions in media


pine for the oak grove
harrow the yarrow hero
the marrow of myth


thought if I combine
this with that I'd get something

This is what I want
So I combine this with that
This is what I got


Protect us Prospectus

The Daily Dread

Tesla's little deviant
Syncopation psychopath
Wishing to be relevant
Gains wannabe sovereign's wrath
Sycophants all in a row
Play red rover red rover
Send those that wish to not know
On their bellies on over
Two reptilian factions
Plotting their next reactions





Spend time to arrange
Things I want to be just so
Stay flexible though




when the day is done
alone in our own abode
languid uncover



Phrazez that Payzez

Build the enemy you want
Where has all the karma gone

a sentient bean
am I and will keep being
one until I'm not

I spent a decade
As a deviant savant
May not be pretty
But it was consensual
Plus a whole lotta love fun

The Daily Dread

survival tactics
have to hide all your feelings
have to hide your wounds



seek savant sources
backassward news feed hide truth
from the hoi polloi



There is no such thing
As too cold for a cookout
Winter Weber ribs


slim girl with braces
now countenance and carriage
today's Junoesque
