Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
once in a dream 🐸 of a rainforest where 🐸 people were pouring water
over my back 🐸 stretched out on a cruel rack 🐸 the water dripped to the ground
a frog would sprout 🐸 with each drop on the earth 🐸 combo platter night before
TV viewing 🐸 Wheel of Time Lost in Space 🤖 danger Moiraine Damodred
Sends chills up my spine
Don't know what they're sayin' but
Intentions are clear
Power words and power sounds
Always makes my head spin round
taking solace in
the pledge to add cinnamon
to my buttered bun
to soothe my picky palate
sworn to epicure excess
autonomy spent
soiled with each passing year
squash my mortal seed
with mortar and pestle zeal
add mystery berry squeeze
sail on the wave
study all the garden smells
bite before you speak
new palates in the castle
a sit down dinner for eight
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
some secrets should be
kept because one third will not
give a darn, one third
can never keep things secret,
one third won't understand it.
The law of thirds in life, art, and demographics.

RDP SATURDAY: SECRET
Ambivalent or
#Lackadaisical maybe
Just plain lazybones
#treppenwitz
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.
Something I heard in
Grammar School still sticks in my
brain. "That'll learn ya."
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
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.

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