  • The past

    past is a weird place
    memories which bring succour
    forgetting what won't

    the nineteen eighties
    had the video game scene
    all the world's color
    techno-utopian dreams
    but not just that, no
    hatred of the gays was rife
    malice for the poor
    and 'one black friend' racism

    it's fine---remember your youth …
  • Corporations

    be wary of corporations who call themselves
    comic villian names like Palantir
    they are evil, and they know it, and we know it
    however also be wary of those
    named "GeneriCo" or "Totally Boring Inc"
    because not all evil
    wears a cartoon mask
  • experience

    experience crashes upon the psyche
    its crest battering off bits
    to remember it by
    and its eddies
    carving a pattern of deep grooves
    into the smooth untouched surface
  • Feast Season

    upon my table
    a feast of the mind awaits
    turnips of unease
    hash with hash of contentment
    and wine draught of hope
    washing down the mad turkey
    and the joyous ham

    set up upon my table
    the most fine meal of the self
  • Greeks

    Live the Good Life
    with Aristotle
    In times of trouble
    Seneca's your man
    But sometimes, you just need
    to party with Diogenes
    and throw feces at wealth-hoarders
  • AI Pretty Words and Pictures

    the fans spin loudly
    as a mass of electrons
    bring machines to life
    this digital godly being
    a product of man
    our arrogance manifest

    should we presume dominance
    or assert humanity
  • Tradition

    a lost soul
    fallen away from the Church
    feels a pull
    a draw back
    why do they consider to return?

    faith may be gone, or weak
    and yet, a desire to return
    be community
    on the holy days
    like millions afore them

    it's tradition
