Millennial Meditations (1/3)
Smoke is billowing from the side of a skyscraper against a cloudless, light blue sky; a plane is flying toward the adjacent tower.
*BOOM*
Holy shit!
Millennial Meditations (2/3)
I haven’t smoked cannabis in three days; feeling tired and uneasy. A friend said, “Weed saved me from killing myself.” I believe him, but weed isn’t a solution. It’s too easy to fall back into familiar habits, especially when enforced by friends. Some say, “You’re the average of your five best friends.”
Millennial Meditations (3/3)
Understanding and spotting logical fallacies will reduce the risk of being manipulated by irrational and deceitful individuals; politicians and social activists are the most egregious offenders in daily life.; they’ll use strawmans, red herrings, and draw misguided causes from minimal correlation. Whenever an individual paints with a broad brush, generally, a false claim will follow;
Lub Lub
Lost in the Lub Lub.
Taken for Granted
Did you hear that … no?
Sunny—no shots, nor bombs dropped
Only sheep should bleat
Burn the Buddha
lotus, Buddhist monk
gasoline dripping, drenched
strike a match, fire, ash
Put on a Show
I feel Godly when staring at ants—
less so with elephants and orcas;
the latter sings and chats for leagues
the prior’s trunk caresses and ensnares
Hangry Chickens
I walk out of the shed in my parent’s backyard and hear chickens in the distance.
“cock, cock-cock-cock”
Let It Out
I got your gir-rl — ca-lling me
She said you buggin’, like a flea
jumping and biting — ya’ fam-i-lee
Thoughts are hangin’ — from a tree
Pecking Order
Cracked eggs
Who killed the chick?
Smashed and smothered
Was she the perpetrator, or,
A Perfect Union
Listen friends, listen close
I would like to propose a toast
for the happy couple, new wed
raise your glass above your head
Bashō and The Judge
Master, my only friend; dead.
Poetic partnership; *POOF*
must — go — a – lone …
pestering: students and fame.
Blinders
I tried to be a friend and therapist for several creatives; I failed miserably at both. Although there are similar aspects to each role—such as attentive listening and encouragement—there are mutually exclusive traits as well.
