A Lesson in Chán ~ Friday, October 17, 2025

If sex were conditional and intense for as a drunk wasted goes twice unheard sex on the beach sounds gritty as a drink even internet porn says drop your pants xylophone, a code word for beating off work in the red light district makes it hard even at sunset, her junk in the trunk real time sex slaves travel to Istanbul even if it were funny, if you laugh condoms break and you may end up with twins ontologically, no such thing as love nothing but being there for your son, Hans diminished returns plays fifths at your grave irons left in the fire, beat the anvil tragically, a life without love or sex intuition shows love, an illusion of political proportions, is not nothing but something contingent, a fox answers the call for the chase as busy love without sex is A Lesson in Chán answers from the fox appear much too pat nothing comes from nothing, love must exist despite diminished fifths, tritone baby insincere for a lark, the fox plays dumb nothing exists that ha...

Mumble Bunny Dreams about Retirement ~ Thursday, October 16, 2025

Mumble Bumble stumbles down the staircase underneath he hears the laughter, says less moves stiffly as if he wears a peg leg beautiful women watch him climb up close laughter from his children, what does he care erase the past with each step, such a loss Bumble Mumble can do without, to lag under the weight of his corpulent heft multiple people say start with your core but he devours apples leaving the stem leaving this world behind, body and mind entering the eternal thunderstorm surfing the ocean of ideas to mend troubles as a result of his short shrift unsympathetic suffering for change murder the ephemeral soul and stew blindly in the darkness, sit and unthink lest the self awakens and seeks revenge exit the sorrow of a sugarcube soft and malleable, how could he stow dissidents in his carry-on and thank obsolete blue jeans for ventilation work until the stars disappear, the cove needlessly hides the ancient gods, no cure thankfully for body image but love h...

The Theory of Poetic Experience: Time ~ Thursday, October 16, 2025

Theory sees the dead bird on the pavement holds the idea, nothing lasts forever exhibits sympathy for a dead bird only to walk away, to see a glint reflects the mind of the abstract thinker yet, the windows distract birds and they fall onto the pavement, where we feel no guilt fallen birds on my way to work, I cry Poetic, the visceral world, drunkard of the first kill as ritual bloodsport esthetic stalking, stealthily approach the hunters of the chase in the spirit inane to smile at a camera and touch caution with blood-smeared face, the death of joy Experience over decades observes xenoi as strangers or even as guests patient, waiting for services rendered encounters the ephemeral and starves realizing the middle path as sage ignorance misunderstands why wind gusts empty the sky of clouds beyond the starred notion of space, finite or infinite creation, an idea of God, a seiche exists before time, fishermen need bait Time creates memories, duality intuition of...

The Dreamworld of a Mathematician ~ Wednesday, October 15, 2025

The bodies of women, murdered, buried hidden beneath humus, where, forgotten each corpse, brutally raped, their locations burned in his memories, beside the road or, in a fresh garden, how convenient dead but not forgotten, beneath the sun in a ditch, not easy to find, trash cans easy, too easy to get caught, he knows sick, spiteful, unattractive, yet brilliant of the bodies, he keeps a ledger, where for the most part, meticulously set written in code by a madman, the choir of angels in his mind praise his black cat mentally, his focus, to sharpen claws enter this den of iniquity, thrown neatly in a pile, down in the basement messy garden apartment, where he lives under the cover of darkness, at dawn resting comfortably on a firm mattress deep in sleep, delta waves, the ceiling slant endlessly strange in design, he behaves reasonably well inside, no bodies end up here, he was once a man of class despite his avocation, he reads maths beloved professor, hit by a c...
