Submitting all day from my hovel,
Agents rejecting my novel

Die a little inside
Send more queries, more excepts and grovel

Is the way
The cookie crumbles
For one more busy dreamer
dreams aren't dangerous but belief is

He aspires to love whatever that means in a confused age of hope monologues and sad core all available in tiny sound bites on TikTok.

The cliches of old were replaced with novelties like corn syrup.

Written with contempt for the irony that distances him enough to not judge himself.

These prose poems are like bricks lying around in the backyard.

Someone will make something of them.

A or a song.

The will go on as long as our brain needs to be filled with something.

Blue sky through a window

The outside is no control

Finding that separation

Creates this thing called self

The illusion of illumination

One thing defines the other

Yin and Yang helps to comprehend

Though is distant as blue sky

Poem: Body Hair

Sheave and pull the body hair
of this discomforting despair,
raise its foundation to nothing,
give me peace, something,
some form of relief
that lasts longer
than a day,
a week.

"solve et coagula" - the alchimist motto

Cliches have an air of truth.

There power to communicate is there contamination.

What they lack in novelty... is one of the lessons.

We all know that wisdom has her children.

We all know originality is the enemy of common sense.

That a simple life is more than I can articulate.

That simple life is taken for granted.

That a simple life is the poem.

As above, so below.

May we find peace.

Sad
And hurting
As the world's dying.
Sharing a hope for peace...
One bias to another is salvation

Memories...
Flavors of nonsense
Horrors of mediated worlds
As the good parts will die with us

When I was young I was trained not to cry and felt it was a virtue to not.

Now that I am old, my mind knows better, but my body does not.

So I cannot weep for my weeping, even though I long to.

Justice without love is a rudderless ship, drifting into the jagged rocks of tyranny.

With the rain
Trembling from cold
Fearful of a failure as
A life lived full of regrets
