Things Begin.
Time Ends.
Humans Lose.
Gravity Falls.
I Humiliate.
Dogs Run.
Treasure Dissolves.
Insanity Wins.
Things Begin.
Time Ends.
Humans Lose.
Gravity Falls.
I Humiliate.
Dogs Run.
Treasure Dissolves.
Insanity Wins.
Denied existence.
Bailed on the extreme.
Signs of wavering.
Nothing to lose.
Blackness remains.
Send in the clones.
Find ourselves again.
Chicken bones for the stock.
Onions and garlic.
Assorted vegetables
whatever is available.
Maybe rice?
Or pasta?
or potatoes to fill it out.
Flavours brought out by herbs
or other spices.
Last the meat.
Whether real
or plant protein
it will be the basis of tonight’s meal.
Hungry yet?
Your gut.
Your instincts.
Facts.
The law of Murphy.
Gravity?
Or
Science?
Opinions
can be trusted
but,
but,
but,
I don’t think they should be.
It is Milky out there.
Black holes.
Dead stars.
Unknown planets.
Space and beyond.
Infinite possibilities.
Will we win
The chance to reach them?
Like Cilantro
you either love it
or
you hate it.
In this house
we can never
have enough
of the wonderful
stinky
bulb!
Sleep seems so innocent.
Except when you want it so badly
that everything
you do is mired
in slow tired movements.
Yet to go
back to bed
requires your brain
to let go
and these days
it fills my heart
with every
anxiety persistent threat
I have ever known.
As the parent
I must accept
that the child is my responsibility
yet her actions
are her own choosing.
How to differentiate them
is harder than it seems.
Some days,
like today,
I know where the fault lies.
So I will accept
my participation
in the ensuing chaos.
Tomorrow,
that is to be dealt with
tomorrow.
I wish to reminisce
but find cynicism instead.
Sarcasm erupts while tributes flow.
Can I ever be happy
with love again?
Or must I wallow
in a fitful delusion
painfully aware
of the remains reality
has given me?
Saint Valentine
was a man
like any other.
Yet because he rebeled
against the Roman leaders
was heralded a Saint.
Signing letters and sending them
“from your Valentine”
in honor of his deeds
is where the trend began for this Holiday.
Yet,
why do we celebrate Martyrs?
I will celebrate my love for the living
and remember,
respect
and honor those before
by being alive
and living my life to the fullest.
Have a happy
and gracious day.
Give your love to those who truly need it.
Including yourself!
