Checking out the scenery. #vss365 #flashdogs
Domestic cat--an oxymoron.
I'm not foreign. (nudges the fern to the edge)
Wrong 'domestic'. (I catch the pot in time)
I do avoid chores. (picture of my ex goes next)
Don't we all (that one can fall)
Best take cover. (a claw on the switch, his car totalled)
Terrorist! (I give him cuddles) #vss365

The media platforms buzz with threats of invasion--Russia! No, China! No, Isis!
Neighbors gather in the cul-de-sac, smug in their lack of hysteria.
"WW3!" guffaws Max.
"The apocalypse, oh my!" Ruth sniggers.
Rex, #conscious of the fleet perched at the edge of the atmosphere, nods along #vss365

The arbitrary
shadows
of status quo
undulate on
cave walls
and still
they hate it
when you suggest
they turn around--
only now
they call it
progress
while sitting
motionless
in the dark.

Through the labyrinth, the black minotaur pursues. It wears her mother's face. Memory #eludes her. Where's my girl?
--
Mom plucks at the sheets. She moans, "Mommy!" & I know she's in deep. She learned young not to rely on Gram, not for help, not for love.
I hope she feels my hand at least.

fine.
a smile attempt
tugs the edges of his lips
against the gravity well
of disapproval.
if there were a world
without drawn lines of death
against any sort of disagreement
lips would soar free.
instead
the #scowl ballasts his stare,
his weighty righteousness
my massive silence

The Lyrids finally got interesting: starry scintillae, like dandelion seeds released across the night.
Mom wasn't thrilled. "That's not how..."
"In the car!" Dad tore us out of there while cheers echoed.
In the bunker, we watch drone footage pan across a landscape of steaming craters. #vss365

We meet at Neti's, the #liminal cafe just north of the crossroads--crap pastries but the coffee's nice & dark.
Your spectral arms chill my shoulders, your kiss is mist.
"Not dead?" You sound sad.
"Ray's still in school."
You frown. You forget the world--and I long to get back to our boy.

We tie #springs to her shoes. She takes to the trampoline. Up, up she goes!
Down she comes with cumulus in her hair.
Higher! she shouts & we launch into a double bounce.
We wait...
...and wait.
The coils come down without her.
On rainbow days, we still hear her shrieking laughter.

On the yellow brick road of 'cognitive decline', she smiles when she sees me. I imagine a glimmer of recognition.
Somewhere between greetings & conversation, #clarity takes a detour through dreaming poppies.
Then, shadows fall across her pillow. I only hope they're cast by emerald towers. #vss365

“Your masala’s delicious! Great flavor,”
Raved a #customer, currying favor.
Then she added, “But please
Make it hotter. Don’t tease!”
Said the chef, “Fine, but first sign this waiver!”

The reel captivated us. Perfect weather, 20C, creamy sun. Humanoid aliens, lithe anime figures. Honest political class.
We land, they slough off their elfin skin.
"False advertising!" we cry.
Our politicians *are* honest--they grin with overlapping teeth--Meet the #marketing department. #vss365

The #bounce to Charon takes only 20 minutes. We tuck the entire earth in 200-year cryo until we get back.
I kiss her forehead. “Have good sleeps, sweetie.” I make sure the pepto’s handy.
Besides some nausea (and the procession of the equinox) no one will know the difference. #vss365
