Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
Overwrought ambition
Battles fought
Battles won
Battles that need to be refought
Odds on favorite
Powers balanced
Daring unbalance
Until tipping points tipped
Red lines crisscrossing
Mutually assured destruction
Whistling past the symmetry
All my live long days
Rubber Humbug Fairy Bumper
Seeing as that was the intriguing heading on the email sent to me from an unknown email address; I had to ask myself…
“Self, is this spam or an ad for illegal subversive pixie dust?”
“Or just a poorly executed tongue twister?”
The
Best feature of the Internet
Is
From contrary contradiction
To
Highly hyperbolic hypocrisy
From
Sophistic soliloquizing
With
Vestigial verbal vertigo
Leaves
My usual Irish goodbye
Closer
Than the nearest door
Just
A power down click away
One is capable of flight
One knows it can't fly
He took a duck in the face
At two hundred and fifty knots
William Gibson knew that
He didn't warn Fabio
Because his book came out after the fact
But it became a survival mantra nonetheless
Even if that Pattern Recognition just won't fly
Remember to...
Seems like time for a refresher
These days we are not so much free to fly
But must be prepared to...
Feeling more like a sitting...
#YIKES
While many aspire to be alluring
I make do with being an eyesore
I'm the luckiest man in the world
For so long just giving things a whirl
My fun meter has been pegged in the red
Repairs are bound to cost some serious bread
Lifetime full of overdriven sounds and surrounds
With ringing ears and palpitating heart out of bounds
There's only one thing left to be said:
"What?"
What are your biggest challenges?
reset
recycle
rejoin
reply
repost
redeem
repeat
repartee
Clearly my reset is on repeat
Pete and Re-Pete
coherent states sell
inherent suspicions to
incipient beliefs
Every time I try to stay present
I find myself getting wrapped up in the past
Blinding me to a tense future
With the winter solstice
Taking the holidays to reflect
On what artifacts to collect
For the year 2026
Frosty the Snowman
wins the snowball fight every
winter solstice night
