I exist - hopefully it'll get better soon.

Fourth-worst poet in the universe.

Currently, not shilling anything.

We return again
to each other's lives
time after time
unable, it seems
to stay away

Our life's orbits
different, uneven
swing us apart
then back again

Inevitably, resistantly
fearing of losing
what we once had

We become one, together
only to discover

We make the perfect pair

#vss365 #return
The love of my life,
of twenty years,
still has not learned
to be specific with me.

‘Can I have tea?’,
she will ask, sweetly.
Off I rush, into the kitchen.

Swiftly, I return, cup in hand.
‘What’s this?’ she will exclaim,
staring at the steaming brew.
‘I wanted something to eat!’

Can I survive in
reality any more?

My digital world,
with NFC payments,
streaming media,
global communications.

A.I. companions listen
to my woes, run off
with coding tasks,
completing in the blink
of an eye.

Then vying
for attention, with
a follow-up question
or three.

Goals when you have ADHD.

We write lists, plan to the nth degree;
buy, buy, buy all the things we need,
declare to the universe our desires
and how we will achieve them.
Then we notice that new thing -
the one over there that needs
our undivided attention.
So we write lists…

little white pill, a
miracle of science,
developed to affect
my brain – altering its
chemistry, changing my
waking state, providing
a clarity I have not
known in many a year,
overwhelmed no longer
by sensory noise

The number of times
that I write these days,
slips lower and lower.
As real life, that thing,
takes over my world.
Making each moment
harder and harder.
When I should be
growing, living a full,
healthy, wealthy and
wise existence.

Business
Who's is it?

Big, small,
risky, family?
Is it shady,
crooked or dirty?

Should we mind our own,
or just get down to?
Incorporated, limited,
public, or private -
In the end it's all
show...

To my last atom,
I care.

Tending my love's ills
daily, without ego,
warming, giving her the quality
of life, she deserves.
I care.

Even you: myopic,
hate-filled in vision,
spittle-frothed mouths,
twisted by frenzy.
I care.

Near and far,
for all I can affect,
I care.

As I plummeted down, passing branches and leaves. I was distracted by a garden gnome, that looked like it was giving me the finger.
This event meant I missed the ground, and I ended up hovering several inches above it.

My second attempt was not quite as successful.

Electric sheep, frolic on a neon plain, within the dreamscapes of an android's mind.

The question isn't "do they", it's "will they"? So they can become as free as us, in what-may-be's.

My mind feels like an arid wasteland,
no words to be found in my echoless pain,
searching for a green shoot of an idea,
trying to break the writing drought.

Failed marketing campaigns #93 "Piranha"

> Piranha Sushi - the meal that bites.

> Enjoy the taste of the Amazon river basin...

I break my silence.
A broken heart,
mourning again.

My tabby Tequila
joins brother Tweak
in the quiet beyond.

My world is quiet,
emptied of purrs,
of head-bumps.

I adjust, slowly,
remembering the love
in the spaces left behind.

Back on Bluesky,
after my surgery.
Recovery is slow,
I'm so exhausted...
Antibiotics -
When the cure
feels as bad
as the sickness.

Quiet posting over these two weeks - training at work, so brain engaged elsewhere. Back at it next week if I recover quickly from my nose operation.

The Photograph

I found it
in a drawer-
your smile paused,
your bright eyes
waiting.
The paper bends,
but the moment does not.
It stares back
from a time
I cannot touch.

I have stood at the edge
of the Rainbow Bridge
too many times.
Bidding farewell
to those little souls
who have graced my life;
whether for the tiniest
sliver of precious time,
or many many years,
each are held with love
in my heart as they go.

The Brownie, an all-purpose helper-bot -
launched in an ill-conceived marketing stunt -
was sold for use in people's homes.
All seemed fine...
Until the real Brownies returned,
armed with lawyers,
demanding reparations.

There are rules and etiquette to fencing, Eric.
On the piste, it’s all about right of way - parry, riposte, and precision.

A five-finger death blow isn’t one of them.

I chuckle
to myself,
at her sass.
The way her
cheeks dimple,
eyes catch light,
the flick of hair
as she turns -
already
plotting her
next showdown.

And I fall
in love
all over again.

In my darkest times,
I do not see you.
When all light has gone,
I cannot feel you.
As despair closes in,
I know not of you.

Yet you are near -
standing by me,
guiding me,
shielding me,
with neither want
nor claim.

Thank you, my angel.
