Bath

Sometimes you have to 
get out of the fantasy
bath and dry off with
the towel of reality.
No matter what. Don't Panic.

The Guide says a towel “is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have … you can wrap it around you for warmth … lie on it … use it as a sail on a mini-raft … wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat … wave it as a distress signal in emergencies … and of course use it to dry yourself off, if it still seems to be clean enough.”

P.S. I write a tanka for a word prompt on Mastodon. Lo and behold, the RDP of the day is “galaxy”. Ain’t life grand 😁

Carve

👻

Slice away hollow all hallows disguise of fear

Where pumpkins grin

While humanity plans sin

Tricks and treats all beat their feet

Through urbane humanities urban street

Foolish fantastical ways of thinking

Gunna get them something sweet to eat

Still the strong eat the meat

While the meek all retreat

Carve through realties flimsy costume veneer

👻

Rumble in the Gumbo

Craiyon

I jumped on my high horse
Trustee, favorite fine mount
Pointed at others errant course
A regular self righteous fount
While spouting a toxic slurry
Full of media puke talking pouts
Full of flair and a fine flurry
Of shrill Banshee like shouts
Wallowing in my faux tone age
Having patience with no virtue
Spilling my sepia life rage
Leaving the taste of burnt roux
For all to rumble and gumbo about
