Beholder Beware
August 16, 2025
The eye is trained to look for common
Fill in the blanks with probability
Projection plays a major role in assumptions
Now we must discern what is value
Spin
August 15, 2025
Round twirling colors centered in space
Spiral descent into mixed fluid heat
Hasten the decision to cut ties with anger
Mental Barriers
August 14, 2025
Which kinds of outdated beliefs hold value?
How many platitudes can I release forever?
Those stock answers are dull and unnecessary
Time has been wasted on false virtue signaling
Intelligence Test
August 13, 2025
The robot wants me to prove I am human
I want the robot to prove to me it is valid
How many crosswalks will this require?
Privacy
August 12, 2025
The loss of private space and time
Erodes our ability to evaluate risks
How many ways can data be used
To coerce the public to stop thinking?
Currency

There is a currency exchange that measures value
If you bankroll all your suffering
Spending painful stories about yourself
Expect others to value their pain
Over yours
Theater

How can the parts played by amateurs?
Has anyone read that script?
Phony Fellows
August 5, 2025
These phony fellows and the lies they bellow
Are harshing my mellow
Spurious claims of innocence
Fall flat
Redacted Reality
August 4, 2025
— 2 Comments
Editing the content keeps the story tight
Bringing on conclusions that lead to nowhere
Mendacious fables crowd out the truth
Offering colorful excuses for deprivation
Forced
August 3, 2025
Funding violence for unknown parties
Twitchy connections to previous standards
Ultra processed reasoning passed down
Through a filter of animus
The loss of connection rapidly accelerates
