Nothing is permanent.
Nothing is permanent.
Nothing is permanent.

Just remember that.

The loveliness in the sky reminds
me that these clouds do pass with time.
This morning, it was dewy and dark—
drearily doomish, sullen and stark
but now the sun’s rays bring out the gold
in every crevice, to banish the cold.

We are part of a fraction in the world
All trying to find our place
Floating like the air around us
But the only difference is visibility and how we make used of it.
What is our piece of the world
What are we carving out for ourselves to live in
The journey there is not easy
The journey there is not always found
But if it ever is,
Then grab hold and never let go
No matter how hopeless it feels in the moment
Now isn't that easier said than done
I myself cannot count on one hand the amount of things I stopped
All for reasons of lacking motivation or feeling insecure
Have not felt that what I am doing is enough to mean something

We are part of a fraction of the world
One that is made up of many types of people
Some we can understand
Some we cannot
But we are on the same planet
All trying to pave a way in the world
All finding the stepping stones to it
Even if it means losing things along the way
Even if it means losing ourselves for a brief moment
But there is a time
When we are all alone
Left with our thoughts
Left with the memories
Where we reflect
Where we are reminded
Where we are haunted
Where we see what we had
Where we see what we should hold onto
Words I try to keep in mind despite everything

An abusive psyche
No might be
Cradle to the grave most likely
The lengthy reminder's set for nightly
However not by me
I have no say apparently

I deleted the phone number
Along with every picture
All the things bought together
Every single reminder
And while erasing memories never gets easier
I forget to remember
That it's so much harder
To open up to anyone, ever again
But thankfully it isn't never

I wasn't bred from good stock
Or birthed with any hope of a shot
Can't imagine that coming as a big shock
Couldn't possibly hide the rot
A thick scar dug into both wrists visually express what verbally I could not
Flesh color replaced the black rorschach ink blot
To clarify, a stark reminder was all I got
KO'd after a turned cheek an awful lot
Like knock knock
Who's there?
Just a nobody,
A lowly placeholder of a single census spot

-------- tea and Sisyphus

Bruno paused, at his interface
with the printable word form,

he paused thinking in writing
"this is so important, I must underline it."

I thought it, of first importance.

The concept of all fruits freely eaten from,
but one, knowledge, right of all sorts,
all species fruit, branch, root and leaf,
all intervvining chthonic molds to make soil,

goodgottamight jus' gimme a blackland farm.
let ol' pharoah done be drownded
goodgottamighty , oh yah,
jus' gimme a blackland farm.

Science, long now, sudden
eruptions of just too much to think about,

like the size of the Earth in his hands,
relative to the post JWST visualizations we share,

bring it in, too wide, ballein, throw out a thought,
an Earth baseball sized, no problema,
in your hand, your mind hand, your typist hand,
keyboarding second nature, like a callous
on the *******
of a scribes writer hand.

Often offered up as proof, see this finger,
this proves I wrote the whole pile crushed,
in the shipping and storage of Ashurbanipal's
collection of books, which Solomon told him,
when they were swapping wives and concubines,
was a vanity and a vexation of the spirit,

But this calloused finger, the mused mind reminds,
this finger proves I came through history,
I did not make history.
I remind myself one reader is plenty, keep things rolling up hill,
get to the top. Drop it, watch it roll, meander on down, at a peasant's pace.

Remind me to never come to you for compassion;
and remind me not to ever seek you for comfort.

You could only give as much—
—because you barely have any of those,

for you are not of me...
for you. Are. Just. Not. It.

By all means, please do remind me.
Remind me for I always forget that keeping this means fighting against the universe and fighting against myself.

Put all your Dreams, in your Locker.
They are too precious to Display.
Someone may be out to Steal them.
When U are sleeping the Night Away.
Learn to live Life mediocre,
Don't flash around your Wealth.
Your Life, is no School Play.
Someday U will be chasing Health.
There will be no outburst of Glitter,
When U make it to the end of Life.
This is from Me, a sweet reminder.
Coz Life is full of Strife.
