Haven’t the Foggiest



No clue
Hey me too
But don't be blue
Join the crew

Haven't the foggiest
When we're the groggiest
Making life the shoddiest
Like a well meaning hobbyist


But

I know
What I know
Until I know
Something different


Do share
If you think you
Know different


Even seeming indifferent
More likely ambivalent
But I remain diffident


Spanning irreverent
To the irrelevant
Like the room elephant

The word(s) for today is(are) No Clue! We humans like to “know” things and to be right. I’m the first to agree, well, maybe not the first, that uncertainty is uncomfortable. I don’t even have a clue about the temperature outside. My phone says one thing, my actual thermometer says another thing, and the national […]

RDP Friday! No Clue!

fluid emotions
spread all over a lifetime
a deluge of hope

RDP Thursday- DELUGE

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.

The word for today is Fiction! No, wait a minute, the word is real, but it’s fiction. OH man, no way to be clear. What’s your take on fiction? Is there any truth to it? Do you write it? Read it? Tell it? Photos, Artwork, Poetry, Short Story… Then link to this page. Please tag […]

RDP Tuesday! Fiction!

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.


The Good Blur

Shoes for Industry! Shoes for the Dead! – Firesign Theatre

Monday morning meaning has gone through many permutations through my days. From hope to dread. Trepidation to turpitude. Triumph to terror. Always a turning point highlighted by a calendar infused post industrial revolution angst about gain and loss, productivity and projections. The get some ethos of our time.

No longer just another day of existence, it was a morning where I stepped back into the world of commerce and played the role I had chosen, or was chosen for me, out of necessity to earn my daily bread by hook or by crook; as was glorified on the entertainment platforms and corporate shill magical moments; to make me want what I had been shown to really really need to be happy.

Yes, and I helped. Daily blur, became weekly blur, folding into yearly blur, cascading down through decades of blur. Just make it through another day so I could make it stop.

The good blur. The productivity blur. The compensated blur. The blurry blur.

Then I got a new role and worked evenings and weekends. Friday afternoon became my Monday morning, with all the same alchemical needs. Only later in the day, and frankly with much less stress. It was just a job and no longer a career. I could cruise on through the five day cattywampus week, with only daily task mapping to keep my steps to a minimum, and as a result, the pain to a minimum.

Now, with those calendar deadline days behind me, and aging into the time of life that medical care could not bankrupt me; I have distilled Mondays down to their essence into this haiku.

Sort

Monday morning sort.
What to do? What to read? What
to post on my feed?

Amen

Haiku Peek-a-boo

Once Upon A Time in an Attic

So I’m sitting at my desk which is nowhere near as nice a desk as the RDP prompt desk picture, and with nowhere as nice a view as the said desk has. Instead I will regale my RDP friends with the stale crusts of my week of #haikufeels prompts instead.

Threading the Needle

SECRETE
watch the vile bile
ooze out that a nation tried
to secrete away

COMB
Comb over? Not me.
Back of head solar panel
keeps me charged all day

HOPE
I have lots of hope
The cynic in me says nope
My hope on a rope

ARCH
time to wake up now
arch my back, reach for the sky
the good morning stretch

ROLL
let the hype roll on
foolish twaddle cash spew, no
hobgoblin minds changed

FUSE
Never confuse a
fuse with a circuit breaker.
Result would shock you.

JOURNAL
my journal entry
was this; "pulling the bestial
towards the celestial"
