~commissioned accidentally by a melody,
a passing glance, a purring perchance,
an idle innocent comment,
to be born as the first poem of this day,
@7:00am
Tue Sep 18 2025,
writ in haste, before
departing over many islands to
another place called "home"~
---~<>~---
*sometimes,
not so secret,
anon, ^
sometimes,
so much more,
than that but a glancing of favoring,
a handshake secreted, is actually felt,
actually secreted,
and rare though via~able,
it passes through a longing traveled voyage,
over wire, under sea's cabling, through space,
hoisted from & by satellite over continental divides
just a hop, skip and jumpstart
over this tiny planet,
and though, but, an amorphous 👍 thumb,
a colored 💙 or collared,
or a pointing 🫵
body part
the like,
bears more than just a passing resemblance
to another*
f o u r l e t t er w o r d
its often lost & found
dear cuz ^^
full of meanings hidden,
or even
anon,
"I'll be there shortly"^
magic!

^
anon
"Anon" has two primary meanings: it is an abbreviation for anonymous, referring to something or someone without a known name or author, and it is also an archaic adverb meaning soon or at another time. The context determines the meaning; for example, you might see "anon" as a tag for users on a dating app to indicate they prefer not to share personal details, or you might read it in an old text to mean "I'll be there shortly"
^^
cuz
Yes, "cuz" is a common, informal abbreviation for "cousin," though it can also mean "because". The usage of "cuz" for cousin dates back to the 16th century and is a recognized slang term, often used as a term of address for friends as well as actual relatives
