This and my next two posts are in reverse creation order,
this is the last panel in a tryptic of three novel scenes.
------------ this was Feb, 22, 2024
Used to be, as we were
used to become, repeatedly,
time sensitives using time
as using any used concept, used
by users
to bring use to usefullness, in time.
As we are used, our complexities
crease our faces with wrinkles
we use to make smiles.
------------------
Thousands, now millions,
then billions and trillions, too much,
unhoned use, dull use, dishonest use
-busy work to earn right to life
-breathe,
-hard parts's over, let it roll....
so we stop counting hours per dollar
and marvel at the cost of being
obligated to share the debt,
owed gravity,
giving minutes where seconds are plenty,
about a dollar each…
converted on the exchange
in second thoughts.
------------------
Right use,
righteous, right.
The ideal right. Never wrong.
Like sunshine, or stars…
and gravity, and contravening winds,
laws of temperature
and pressure, pre judged within tolerance
too minute to contemplate, indeed,
as with the inner working of everything,
once done, duration makes no sense,
to mortal sensibilities, our assisting intell
sources leak inside information, gut level
response to provocation, my vocation
manifests, yes, blurts
stop.
This is insanity, and I smile to myself,
aware,
I aimed at totally insane, and hit it,
on the spot, nailed it where up and down
cross left and right, there it was,
or is, more precisely, insanity. Stopped.
My self imposed duty done. I stopped it.
I am the monkey wrench. For a second.
Must mean...

...
my tools include
sentient wrenches,
sentient plumber tools,
used artistically as the
monkey wrench
in the works
with an Iberian,
artist at café, in tiny
John Lennon glasses,
callouses on his *******...
real deal, pre Adobe Illustrator
whose pen and inks I think I saw,
but in another course through time,
historicity, in fact, is a material invention,
a feminine fullfilled mind's inspiration,
we exist in no time at all, from historical
perspectives exalted to points of view,
from which opinions as to how worth is
weight of something, relative to another.
Balance life in time on instants
in prayer, faith, step taken
instants thanking nexting
step by step, expecting next time….
Worth of a minute spent thinking second
thoughts used as tools, slight smile, soft aha,
leverage our speculation,
ask who has nothing
to do for days on end, but the wealthy good
among the commoner sorts and types and classes.
Weal and woe, both, we believe lack
recipes to fix broken promises to child prayers.
Blessedness declared, nationally.
Given in the ritual,
alright alrise, alrecite, I pledge…
--we did
yes, to ****, at the will of my commander,
and I understand my link to the chain,
--we
brains hardwired from childhood
to handle a pen,
experience ambidexterity while qwerty keying,
left and right,
order and beauty click, feel
minds combined.
We am I, and I am alone,
then I think of you, and now, and this device,
this magic pen, silly me,
anachronisms are my weakness.
We are the monkey wrench.
Tell the seller he may sell my wares, if that be the cost of freedom.
