Speculation as the Fine Line between ~ Friday, July 24, 2026

You know you have just one chance to forgive You know you have only one life to live or is that just a lie, a confusion understood and misunderstood as fact knowledge beyond reason you must forgive no one knows beyond what is common sense only reason can discern delusion would that you could see this play in one act you know what I am talking about: life only, you see, time makes all the difference understanding that you cannot return honestly, a weight lifts, life is a gift as each moment passes, decades to burn visions of the impossible, a rift each moment shifts with choices full of strife juries of angels and saints to observe understand all the lies, decades at church stories they tell each other from a book tell me which way to drive and when to swerve only this world, I cannot understand not just when they hurt or try to besmirch each name and reputation, take a look change your patterns of thought, as to make strange however convoluted this journey as if...

Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave ~ Friday, July 24, 2026

Who, what, where, when, why, and how, the sequence has no order, rhyme or reason to find as a non-native speaker seeks to speak truth to injustice as a consequence When things get out of hand as a migrant however the government seeks to bind each citizen to protect from the weak ne'er-do-well who pulls the fire alarm Who, according to the law, looks aslant how easy a task to find a scapegoat other people are the problem, they say Why question authority, people vote how they let others represent, no way yes, America is the land of harm

The Word Became Flesh ~ Thursday, July 23, 2026

In the beginning... Insanity is no defense against notions of self-defense, in cases of theater and murder, the first degree however, as justice is thus dispensed enter a plea of madness, what a risk before time, there was just the stars above enter the stream, no gods, no masters, see given before the birth of time, nonsense in the beginning, God ate lobster bisque nothing goes unthought or without a plan nothing but the kitchen sink, all at once in the beginning, God ate Raisin Bran nothing but the best for the king, a dunce given how nothing now makes a difference

Inside a Box in Evanston, a Book ~ Wednesday, July 22, 2026

A Letter for Toad Anais, dear friend, I found you a book Literally, a guilty pleasure, child each time I see you, I sense a big smile to think we were friends before we met, look to other people that sounds like nonsense each time I see you, I become quite mild rather gentle and playful, all the while forgetting the fact: I am an old man or an old crab, Cancer, as my defense really, long ago, I was a good boy Tomorrow, I may no longer be here of course, espresso is a simple joy and to read, Frog and Toad Are Friends, I fear definitely, your eyes would like to scan

Of the dead, nothing but good is to be said ~ Wednesday, July 22, 2026

De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est Deliberate as a jury on death eternity seems a really long time maybe to celebrate in this moment ordinary as it sounds, this one breath remember to cherish all that you see tune in to the beautiful as a crime understand inequality, consent in the duplicity, the grotesque lies seen but unrecognized as not beauty not the good or the true, so much sorrow in this world, this heartbreak, workers unite line up in a queue, a perfect arrow nothing in this world is perfect, despite intelligent mathematicians and spies solving problems, creating solutions in a world focused on entertainment beauty, health and wealth as means to an end obviously glamor, as conclusions noted to what is random, the given understanding life in itself, how spent many feel during the work week, to bend down and clean shit from the pavement, your dog in a nutshell, how lucky, the raven count your blessings with both hands as you pray each day and night be...

As the Chinese Fortune Cookie Crumbles ~ Wednesday, July 22, 2026

To fall asleep in my hoodie, so nice To say the day was long, hyperbole of course, I was tired, I am old now forget that I woke up at six o'clock as if that were a big deal, now at three lest I forget, the farmers of the world little do I know, wake to milk a cow and sailors wait outside on a cold dock so meeting, work, and then to go running little do I see my fingerprints whorled each to their own, as common and mundane everyone knows but me, I want to sleep please, a little luxury is insane in this world, workers of the world are sheep no one will mind if people are cunning maybe, of myself, a little ahead yes, convoluted, in my head, I get help me to overcome my own soft brain only, I wake in my hoodie, in bed only, this is not a fortune cookie despite the fact, you know, we just met if I could tell you, right here, on the train escape, as fast and as far as you can so you do not hear about my bookie only he cuts off hands and feet, so kind nice, nice, ...

Bring Your Favorite Atheist to Bible Study ~ Monday, July 20, 2026

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. ~ John 14:6 NRSV I would sooner beat them with a Bible as if to show my faith in faithlessness maybe you understand my frustration that I cannot say here without libel how to say less, say nothing, say no more each to their own, within this fatelessness way out, beyond my own desecration answers remain hidden, found by others yet the way is pitch-black, lost as before answers unimportant, so near at hand nothing but mindlessness, so sad, but real descending the hourglass, grains of sand thankless, ungrateful zombies cannot feel how important it is to know, brothers each to their own, to witness with two eyes truth, a rhetorical question to ask rely on experience and not faith understanding language games beyond lies thoughtlessness to discuss acts beyond harm how each person, their persona, a mask as if character, a fictional wraith nothing but wisps of smoke to weigh with salt do not forget, son, to set the alarm thou...
