Unreliable narrators … INFJ

Lysistrata for the win.
That’s still legal, right?
One afternoon. 5:15-ish.
Fog line appears to rise.
A clear, sharp boundary.
It happened quickly.

I’ve been packing for a move.
Ran across my birth certificate.
I put it in the bag I carry to work.
Because I don’t have blue eyes,
and you never know. Apparently.
This is where we’ve arrived …

tiny spider webs
hundreds of them

Dreamed I was sleepy.
And I don’t know what

it was sunset on thursday.
what looks like a far mountain
is a big horizon-hugger cloud.
then i saw them all directions,
walls of rain clouds falling into
the horizon but blue sky above.
it was like standing in a bowl.
i squinted my eyes at them
but they don’t say nothing.

It’s like we elected cosplay Klingons who know all about drinking songs but nothing about honor.

It’s one thing to believe undocumented immigrants are such a problem that they need to be rounded up in the streets and held without due process in makeshift prisons. It’s another to call the prisons “Alligator Alley” or “Speedway Slammer” like you’re naming carnival rides. With a sense of… fun?

Raise your hand if you can imagine Jesus jumping out of an unmarked white van in an ICE uniform to raid a Home Depot. I’m making a list.

I don’t understand holodecks.
And I’ve thought about it.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

Lower limbs of a mature magnolia will arc to the ground, making a woody cave around the trunk. Blossoms show off in the leaf litter with velvet petals that aren’t petals, but tepals, a mark of the tree’s long evolutionary history. My inner nerd likes knowing things like that, easily pleased she is …

And I am too old.

I could watch “Midsomer Murders” on AcornTV on Demand, but I usually choose a scheduled broadcast so I can watch with everyone else. And it takes some time to realize that…

if you begin to capture flitting thoughts
and observations, write them down,

of half-heard interior dialogue,
air misty with subvocalization
