Ask
or
Pray.
Hard work is a good first foundation.
Word for the day
Discombobulated.
Out of sorts in the weirdest way.
Awesome.
My friends who keep me sane.
Benevolence.
Empathy for those who are suffering.
Frenetic.
Crazy insane energy that sums up nerds.
Nerds.
Outsiders with useful knowledge.
Society.
Humans living in close contact.
Quarantine.
When you are no longer able to talk to your neighbours.
Depression.
The result of plague fatigue and helplessness.
Hope.
Knowing there will be an end in sight someday.
System Cleaning Commence
Sweep out the dirt.
Wipe down the walls.
Shovel the trash into the compactor.
Fix the broken wiring.
Or at least jerry rig it for functionality.
Save the journals and other documents.
Then hope the body doesn’t collapse
from exhaustion like last time.
Knowing the Truth
Desperate times.
Measures removed.
Length taken.
Measure again.
No time for fools.
Finish the gap.
Proceed to the front.
Then do it again.
Measure again.
Budget the plan.
Fly into the wind.
Let others know.
It is never enough.
Everyone must know.
Whether or not they choose to believe it.
The Demands of the Kitten
Meowing loudly
demanding..
what?
She is a cat
and I do not speak feline.
More meows,
a few more pets
and she leaves.
Was that what she wanted?
I’ll never know.
The short list
Day light savings time.
Time zones.
Amplitude Modulator.
Eastern Pacific Time.
Mountain Standard Time.
Western Hemisphere.
Laughing out Loud.
WTF.
Cash on Delivery
So many scams
were used
and succeeded
with this simple
yet effective tool.
For those who are honest
it brought about shame
and mistrust.
Now
these days
all we hear
is
prepay
or no getting the goods.
Al Levent’s Parking
Wow, he’s got a full parkade to himself.
Three stories.
For free.
That is what the sign says.
Next to the Coliseum.
Al Levents
Parking
Free.
I wonder who would be rich enough
to fill the entire parkade
with only their vehicles?
I sure hope he is willing to let others use his parkade.
Mainly because there are many kinds of events
happening at the Coliseum
and it would be nice if everyone
had someplace to park
for all events.
Cute and Cuddly
A poem is a poem
and a cat is a cat.
Everything is well
until you have to scratch your back.
Then moving the cat
curled up on your chest
is the biggest problem
you will ever face.
To let them sleep
or to disturb them?
The cat will go away eventually
but so will the itch.
Who will win this war?
Certainly not you!
Bad bad bad
Habits that creep up on you.
People doing their small annoying things.
Ignoring the realities of the day.
Sleeping when you should be rising.
Driving yourself to finish
the one last mission in the game
before realizing the hour in the early early morning.
Despairing of the plague fatigue
as it keeps you from walking outside.
Neighbours complain of loud noises at night.
And yet
you’re the good guy.
