RDP Friday! Blue!

Roll Up

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

Assume Away


Something to be drawn

Something to be filled in

Like a blank expression

On another person’s face

Feel free to draw your own conclusions

Fill in with your own work of fiction

Go ahead

Assume away

Pile up a cairn. Knock 
over a cairn. Build a cairn...
Human history.

RDP Wednesday – BLANK

Having a Swale Ol’ Time

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

Jingle Jangle Streaming

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

Brain Streaming

Something I heard in
Grammar School still sticks in my
brain. "That'll learn ya."

This is how my inner streaming stick rolls

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

This is what comes streaming out

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.

This is why you can’t take me anywhere

RDP Friday! Dialogue!

Streaming FocusPocus

I must attribute my lacklustre life research results to having things bassackward for most of my days. Apparently I was focused on the generalities while ignoring the particulars, when I should….

lose focus on things 
general to delve into
the particular

RDP Thursday – LACKLUSTRE

RDP Wednesday -BELL

Sometimes I can choose
Othertimes I have no choice
Yet things get chosen

Did the bell mean stop or did it mean go. All the bells at school sounded the same. The context of the bell set its meaning. There for the bell early. Not there for the bell late. Was I sitting in class. Was I in the hall heading to my next class. Outside coming in. Inside coming out and bell free for the remainder of the day. Or was I living in a world of bells without context.

Dong Ding Dong Ding

So it goes.

Life is but a Stream

Where ever you go there you are

Travel was not part of my family experience. Tried to make it part of my parenting experience. I’ve had good trips. I’ve had bad trips. I may just trip again.

All just more data

Everytime I reach
A conclusion. New  data
Just keeps streaming in
