Under Blues Skies III
A system that sows
A grapes of graft vineyard will
Be choked by it's vines
My telomeres are tired and my cellular membrane just ain’t as thick as it used to be. What once upon a time would set my cellular messenger RNA ablaze, scorching my mitochondria; now at best only kindles #aglow within my nucleolus.

I achieved peak self #astuteness with the realization that I couldn't monetize the lifeboat concession on the Titanic.
Some people are wired that way.
Others are not.
My tipping point after greeting one of life's many icebergs.
Too soon?
Ended with loathing
Ignited with blazing lust
Never #amity
sure, infinity
and beyond equations
are all well and good
but my struggle
is ciphering
an #affinity for now
Stream On
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
Buttered Up
taking solace in
the pledge to add cinnamon
to my buttered bun
to soothe my picky palate
sworn to epicure excess
Banquet
sail on the wave
study all the garden smells
bite before you speak
new palates in the castle
a sit down dinner for eight
B.S. Redux II
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
Conjure
I conjure up my
greatest work of fiction self
story of my past
The thing I know for sure is how a film and track can be edited to tell a story in almost any way you wish. Fact and fiction spliced in any whimsically oppressive order to display a completely different timeline from the source. Ever shifting points of view filtered through hard won biases. Good thing memories are not like videotape playback. In fact memory is infinitely fungible. Just ask any eye witness three hours after any event.

RDP Tuesday! Fiction!
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
Dust Bunnies
tiny dust bunnies
under my bed bred into
one big dust devil
A little contemplation never hurt anyone.
Sure.
Go ahead.
Be contemplative.
Think before you move.
Look before you leap.
Stick your little toe in before you dive in.
Overthink.
Second guess.
Doublethink.
Double down
Third down
Fourth and long.
Monday morning quarterback.
Enough contemplating.
Now do something
Even if it’s wrong
Doing is better than not doing anything
Or is it?
Let me think about that for a while.
Proscenium
atop my mesa
working the crowd in my head
theatre in the round
After a decade and a half of performing out in the wilderness, I finally dragged myself off the rocky mesa stage. I had distanced myself from the urban delights of big city life to perform at suburbia’s theatre in the round. All in service of another’s dreams; only to find those dreams were not their dreams either. That was quite the emotional cul-de-sac indeed. Acting within the proscenium provided by the urban streets brought focus to the dysfunctional script being followed, so together we took our final bow. Flipping the script. Freeing us up to chase down another booking.
Hello everyone! The prompt for today, 17th August 2024, is “cul-de-sac”. Write a post including the prompt and share with us via pingback or leave the link in comments section. Happy Saturday! Punam
