Today’s prompt caused this spark in my neural pathways
once a wire
add a switch
born a circuit
became integrated
to be a transistor
shrunk to a chip
begat a microchip
quantum computing
here I come
Off The Old Block

Yesterday
passions purple pulse
wraps me in wisteria's
woody twining vines
Now there is my view
Then of course there is your view
When will the twain meet
Biscuit Hammer went
down deep into the salt mine
with no cool off time ⚒️
Phrazez that Payzez
Livin' la Vida Asymptomatic 🕺🏻
When AI eyes are smiling
Your job is on the line
Eggshells
Spending time around
A person you feel the need
To walk on eggshells
Whenever they're near is like
Walking on gilded splinter
Fragile treading way
To walk on pins and needles
Not making a sound
Puts a deep hurt on the sole
Would rather walk on sunshine

Yesterday
off in the distance
what seemed to be the glimmer
of fireworks was
instead the unleashed fury
of hunter killer wrath drones
stopping for green lights
built for comfort not for speed
with nineteen eighties
ultra cool blue on the side
extra mellow fellow plate
willing to assist
teetering on tenterhooks
with those delicate
behind the back hooks and eyes
to receive my special treat
Tarantella
Little Debbie was a very fussy Scorpio, though she had some ways about her that weren’t quite right. Still the very thought of a public thriller of any sort made her gag. But the fact that the Tarantella Tombola was for a good cause made her climb on board for what became the ride of her life.

Yesterday
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
Desanguination
Well placed tourniquet
May staunch national bleeding
But an infusion
Of decency is called for
Replenish dearth of honor
Best people promised
Delivered hucksters and frauds
Germ deniers all
Not a washed hand in the bunch
But they sure do dress purty
Cherished by a once
Aspirational nation
Transfusion needed
From those that have sold the truth
For their own capital gains

Yesterday
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 😂

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

Yesterday
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
