Currently writing about zombies in space
in #health and in death
I follow the path
of least resistance, down
the pane of existence
like a raindrop, fallen
from the heavens
off the pedestal
where I was affixing
the idol of an idle life

#Learning to die seems like it can't be done - that's just something you do, and whether you do it screaming or with what some call grace I would say has more to do with how you go. But I'm doing my best. Some day I will see my grave and give it my heart. #vss365

What sticks is rarely what was meant:
a breath, a bruise, a stolen scent.
The heart decides what’s relevant,
buries the rest in sediment.

"Is it really #relevant how many math problems I can solve in a #timed test? Because I can do these a lot faster on my calculator."

"Five times five should be a lot faster in your head, Mr. Smith. I think we're done here. Send in the next applicant."

there was no #specific moment
that my heart broke - it is no
Prince Rupert's drop, invincible
until it is not. it was buffeted
by fate, by life, by the way
you grabbed food for yourself,
not me. little things, until the integrity
is shot, and the chips in free fall

the #action economy is in shambles
crying is all I can do
stabbed with the dagger of exhaustion
stepping to a hasted paladin -
I didn't think it through

"The #issue is that your #goal and #reality are divorced. No, not divorced - never married. Your goal is an international popstar and reality is but a fan. A fan who is a baby - who was born yesterday, unlike me, because I know you put 0 effort or thought into this, Chris."

there was some #issue with the #transport
of my heart - it was in my mouth,
beating, bloody, then flew through the air,
ostensibly to you. see, here is the hollow
it used to wallow in. please tell me
you know where it is, and it has not
been crushed underfoot.

#Science doesn’t care if you accept it or deny it.
Math will still be there if you embrace it or defy it.
Truth is always true no matter how you try to spin it.
The world won’t wait for you to recognize that you are in it.

#Science lays claim to everything, from the heart to space to fate; throwing everything it doesn't know into a rummage bin of theories. I love it dearly for what it's done for me, for us, but sometimes I just want the reason to be pixie dust. #vss365

On Prescription

I used to dream in acres.
Today I measure life
in medicine spoons.
rations of laughter,
half sighs
taken with food
each night.

My heart’s on subscription
renewed monthly,
could be cancelled,
anytime.

The world is now a sip,
I can't
swallow
whole.

soon may the wellerman come
your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
so much to do, so much to see
to bring us sugar and rum and tea
we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow

I wonder what #myths may come
when I have shuffled off this mortal coil -
was I a good guy? beloved by all?
a fantastic friend? a demon with the ball?
my final portrait will be painted by others
as my body lies under the cover of soil

what can we agree on?
everything decays, orbits shift
even February twitches a little to the left
every four years. tiny imperfections
in the lens, and each lens made of
different space dust. the calibration
off, just a smidge of a gap,
and the tower leans.

forages through others' homes

Here, the heavy past trips on the future - a record scratch as electricity galvanizes the house. Layers of lacquer preserve the pain until they're chipped off bit by bit. Those who don't know #history are doomed to be consumed by it. #vss365

the #geography of grief
is like the ocean floor, it looks
flat through the waves of pain
but each new step could take you
off a cliff
into a riptide
back to shore
but it's hard to know your direction
in the storm

The summertime planet was #famous for its festival, an all-summer bacchanalia staffed by "sirens." It was even more famous for its propensity to disappear to another corner of the universe for the rest of the year. What happened then was between the terrabaron and his staff, drowning in NDAs #vss365

his #education on the job
was blunt and brief -
"keep yer fingers outta the machine,"
but contingencies, contingencies
and no time to waste meant
his hand chased down any issue,
daily emergencies building until
the steel got a taste for his tissue

- what slouching #creature this way comes,
unshackled from its cursed box?
what thoughts of sustenance and lust
have lured it to the slick #domestic kitchen, socks
slipping on the lino floor?
no more, no more! foul beast! no more!

- very funny, mom
