Either way, the lesson stands:
small legumes can convene
remarkably persuasive conversations.

We don’t miss the wins so much
as the version of ourselves
who believed tomorrow
would always feel this light.
Growing up is learning
which joys were seasonal,
and how to hold them
without asking them back.

Some expressions travel this way:
not declared,
but felt—
a grammar of proximity.

But in an age of velocity and scale,
smallness learned a new rhetoric:
it refused optimisation,
insisted on memory,
and proved that intimacy
can still outpace efficiency.

Must exhibit fluency in diplomacy,
lethality toward inefficiency,
and an aversion to unnecessary bloodshed.
Leadership role.
Conscience preferred.

Sleepless, that's how I started my day. Stepping over the clutter of unfinished tasks, a #surfer on the gloom of the sleeping household, all but certain to wipe out on my way to the coffee. #vssThreads

What looks like leisure from shore
is survival by literacy—
reading forces larger than oneself,
adjusting posture,
and staying upright
while others insist the water should obey.

SOFT FRACTURE
— where light gets in
A #rift is not always rupture.
Sometimes it is permission—
the seam where certainty loosens,
and imagination slips through.
Broken open, yes,
but gentled by breath,
until the gap learns
how to glow
instead of divide.

They circle loudly,
astonished that the ground below
has learned to move on
without looking up.

As I brandish my #spyglass
At billionaires' ship.

and teaches us the cruel arithmetic of living:
you may revisit the scene,
never the innocence.

But truer delight resists narcotics:
it sharpens attention,
restores appetite for consequence,
and reminds the citizen
that joy, properly used,
is a form of vigilance.

Friends call it dedication.
I call it romance—
the kind where the beloved never texts back
but keeps rearranging my life anyway.

The throne, it turns out,
now comes with branding
and a very good camera angle.

Taxes taking my whole damn check
Junkies making me a nervous wreck
The price of food is going up
& as if all that wasn't enough:
With all that money I made last year
How come I ain't got no money here?
Y'know I just 'bout had my fill
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special

A rat done bit my sister Nell
Her face and arms began to swell
I can't pay no doctor bills
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
The man just upped my rent last night
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
I wonder why he's upping me?
Well I was already giving him fifty a week

futures negotiated
before anyone admits
the room has tilted.
