Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
fluid emotions
spread all over a lifetime
a deluge of hope
soon will be a trickle down
good ol' waste fraud and abuse

RDP Thursday- DELUGE
One thing is for sure;
When no bad decision goes
unmade, that's a clear
loud warning to the world that
I got my #mojo workin'
If you put an #apple on the top of your head, don’t be surprised if some bozo with a bow tries to shoot an arrow through it. Causation Correlation What do you think of them apples
#aware of a doomed
life lived confined within a
house of yellow leaves
Smeared over life's time mirror
On every surface in evening chambers
Smashed sconces
Broken bottles
Tumbled tumblers
Soiled sheets
Base fruit of nocturnal
Past amorous #alacrity clambers
parked out in the woods
the hunter's moon shining bright
teenage #ardor flowed
Too much rigidity
May maintain servility
While preying on fragility
Ushering in a proclivity
Towards delightful serendipity
Encouraging faux #avidity
Leading to soul's morbitity
Resulting in lividity
The seasonal tradition of bobbing for eels will be commencing shortly.
With the earth's life heat
Dispersed to the void of space
No longer #ablaze
Another sad dead planet
Stripped of it's resource and spark
Ambivalent or
#Lackadaisical maybe
Just plain lazybones
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.
after losing all
agency it takes a long
hunt to reclaim it

RDP Monday: BLIP
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
