Enjoy writing, spending time with my kids
Music of the Beatles/Springsteen illuminates my cooking time. No AI, writing is my own and to its influences, I do ask it for feedback on occasions.

The strange #glow from their star turned out to be an unknown exotic radiation. It caused our hands to #bloat wildly so that, on the #cusp of the battle, the fleet's gunners could not operate their weapons. The ship became deathly #quiet as we realised our fate.

I missed it
Slept through the cusp
I just woke up
And felt better
Like day & night
The way i handled the night
The darkness, the absence of light
hope, faith
Just liberated of belief
Until suddenly
I had lost maybe 22 grams of muscle memory
One certain habit finally died

Face this task
Face this devils deeds
Believe your eyes
Not the lies
Believe your fellow man
Not the Gestapo
Draw the darkness
Out,
Draw the truth
Back into the light
Do it,
Morning, noon and
Especially through the night

Right smack in the hot spot
Where i feed the best
Sooth the most
A mathematical certainty
Alas impossibility
The only ability i master
Resting my destiny
In your centre fate
Call it love or heart
beating faster without
Closer & calmer
In between your bust
A splendid #cusp
to dream about

Pretty fish darted away in the #shallow waters, spooked by my big shadow above them.
I dabbed a tentacle into the stream to #taste for the precious mineral.
But-another dud. 36 streams done,3 more to go. If they were duds too, then this was another planet for me to nuke.

The sun's ambers
Dance and kiss
Playfully,
On the river flow
Bowing in a Final glow
The moon's pearls
Roll and patrol
Skillfully
On the river flow
Disappearing,
Where?
Nobody knows

"It doesn't #taste right," I said trying not to offend. "Are you sure it's #ready?"
"Please," said the alien. "We always #shallow fry our people before eating them."
"What!? That's one of you?"
"No, no, it's a #ruse," he answered, laughing. "It's your Captain."

People do not need to earn the right to stay alive. Being unarmed is enough. Police killing unarmed people is wrong, period. I refuse to debate morality as a prerequisite for basic human life.

A scam artist out on a cruise
Painted her hip with a terrible bruise
Deemed the deck slippery
Claimed her sail should be free
But the crew didn't fall for her #ruse

Within the ruffled and ruched
Petticoat of velveteen red rose petals
The #ruse in its aroma plots to lure
The innocent and the lovers
Into a drunken dance
Pledging their souls to some kind
Of romance
Some they fall some they bloom
Plucking loves me do
Loves me not
