The Daily Dread



Administration
Will heretofore be known as
Clash of the Minions


Chickens coming home to roost

another relic
whining about being caught
in a surveillance
web of their own spinning used
to entrap the rest of us


Just another Companion of the Hellhounds psychonaut podcaster relic


seditious relic
seedlings try to avoid the
#clash between what they
say the rest of us should do
and what they don't do daily

The Daily Dread



an ache with each bite
of the apple of knowledge
that some folks chose this


Notice prime bellwether clue
Private armies for the few
A catastrophe for all
Siren song before the fall



Reeling in my prize
Rocking on Michigan waves
Feeling hungover
Replaying the night before
Landing this Coho Salmon



With every false claim
Honking like a strangled goose
The bellwether ache
Reeking like week old salmon
I feel deep down in my gut

The Daily Dread



original sin
heinous concept of belong
root of all evil



A spark was kindled
With a smile and a hair flip
Once forbidden fruit
Now open to conspire
Consummated lush desire



soft orchid petal
walnut firm and ridged surface
contrast forged delight



reality grift
pick our brains like a walnut
then discard the shell
conspire with the wealthy
to hoard all that ain't nailed down

The Daily Dread



how can one person
embody all the vile things
found in one nation



A plain brown wrapper
Sent via the Post Office
Retro Only Fans



This years harvest time
May be strictly DIY
So happy pickin'



Flapping wings above
The spector of a sparrow
Now casts doubt about
A harvest of happiness
When hope had a common goal



Do people with no intelligence
Lean on artificial intelligence
To try and look smarter


It's artificial
So artifactual clone
Copy and pasting
Losing presupposed vigor
Of purported intellect

The Daily Dread



First step to create
Is to destroy what once was
Wipe it all away
Ashes ashes all fall down
Says the Phoenix," Nevermore



barely sentient
pugnacious pugilist pawns
poking the people
only following orders
no matter how illegal



butterfly wings fold
to conceal glorious
supreme pink peaches

The Daily Dread



it just isn't right
everything's done out of spite
let alone normal



An incessant buzz
Of lies since February
But this too shall pass


The melting pot lie
Sold to all for years on end
See it effervesce
Watch it seethe up and bubble
In all it's grievance glory

The Daily Dread



Hefty car door slam
455 engine roars
Four barrel guzzle
Dinosaur bones from before
Buick Skylark GS growls



Time for us to talk
Rarely signals glad tidings
Harbinger of blame



The Grumpy Grandpas
In their dotage shuffle charts
Like they're tarot cards
Never mind the auguries
Reading them the way they choose

The Daily Dread

base instinct always
dive on in at the drive-in
long lost passion pit



Rules of engagement
2am dive bar last call
Desperate timeline



Ignoring the once golden rule
Feel they're the anointed few
Appointed to sputter and spew
Self aggrandizing gold accolades
Holier than thou power plays
Keeping all that believe them afraid
A populace wholly betrayed
When the people who make the laws
Don't bother to follow their rules



First came the corn sweat
Now wildfire violet sunsets
Air of disaster

The Daily Dread

pink pyramid cult
a new recruit gets pressure
buy tons of product
while upline collects profit
inventory collects dust



Regarding the sass
Seems there's good sass and bad sass
Right Sassy Lassie
Now don't you sass me Lassie
But that is some deluxe sass




deep primordial
catfish rises from the mud
finds thin ice layer
new age epoch harbinger
dives down to warm muck below




Normally tranquil
Sporadically complex muse
Today, blew my fuse
