That might be one of the loveliest things anyone could do with it.

Fifteen years from now, they may read it completely differently than they would today.

The Woods, Forever

no happy hunting grounds no
huge stalking beasts;
it is all simply clockwork
the buzz the screech the patter
feet on branches the groan of
trees; everywhere there are
solid, rooted things and
little beasts that scurry around them,
little seeds that burst and climb and die;
everywhere are gentle-stepping invaders and
those with no reason to keep quiet;
the clouds pool in the upper branches and
everything goes quiet –
is this the one that
drowns us all?
or the one that
keeps us growing?

The New Made Old

The factory is pressing, cutting,
shaping a new old world;
the books are digitally aged and
the metal per-burnished, pitted
by clever designs; they are
burying these new relics everywhere, they
will be found and marveled at;
history will circle, loop,
sweep and maze, until
nothing remains to be known,
for everything is unknown.

Oh wow, #groundbreaking stuff here! 🚀 Apparently, we've reached the era where "understanding" is as #trendy as #pumpkin #spice in October. 🙄 But don't worry, we've got a solution: #read #code #line #by #line, because that's never been done before. 🤦‍♂️

and the ribs are showing

twirling, twirling, the
scent of the lights, the
sounds electric,
the buzzing and glare,
the shadows faceless and watching –
twirling, twirling, the
spinning never stops,
the spinning never stops and
they’re clapping, or booing, or
recounting interminably some
other meagre thing; all is
comparison in the stands,
while in the limelight:
twirling, twirling,
the beast ages;
the beast dies.

This "Tale" is less about dynamic programming and more about lulling you to sleep with #academic #drudgery 😴. Did someone say "simple principle"? Because this author sure didn’t get the memo 📜. Let’s just "summarize" by saying it’s a snooze-fest in disguise 🛌.

Good grief, is it too much to ask, to be able to sit outside in the shade in the middle of the #afternoon and #read for more than 5 munutes without being beseiged by mosquitos? They're not usually a problem until much later. #rant #backyard

A FISTFUL OF JOY

claw and scratch and grab as
it holds you under, under, under;
leave it red-streaked and huffing,
disappearing down the lonesome night;
and in the morning, waking,
unsure the border between dream and
dreamer, the hands –
soot-stained, clutching
a fistful of joy –
relaxing, it
drifts on the air.

I think I might be the king of making #mistakes. Especially when it comes to #watch #collecting. #read about my mistakes, and how I #learned my #lesson

I am reading this collection of short stories. Finished, "The Zeiglers." ,(1927-1928) Bleak, darkly surreal, very funny, kicking over and over while down rich vivid staring-out bewildered. Highly recommend! I was looking for "in transit" which she wrote while fleeing the Nazis to (I think) Mexico bit this will do!

A HEART BY PROXY

Let the machine do my feeling;
hold committee on my love –
come to decisions based on
those labyrinth secrets, let
me be not despised, for
who could hate the stupid machine?
the witless computations of supreme intellect?
Give me the certainty of a guide;
a handbook of life: a guarantee of
something, even failure,
with instructions followed faithfully;
do not blame me! for it was not my decision!
as I feed us, piece by piece
into the machine;
it was never my choice when I chose!
