As we ride through the suburbs of post-vaccination land, the sun flexes & stretches its arms over the roofs of homes & streets waking up to another day… we avoid those daredevil squirrels that dart into the street (b/c if you hit one it’s 100 bad karma points in Life’s video game).
1000 thanks. This was an attempt to capture and compress a moment in time of what it’s like to be alive today, and how my wife redeemed my hopeless vision of the world, for which I’m very grateful. Thank you again for your kind feedback! (unable to add a heart emoji on my desktop, arghhhh…) heart heart heart…
From an Old Man strolling while strewing his bones all over this plane-it:
Evocative.
It is a princple in life that you never get what you want so within the parameters of Opposite Day I have always steered right at Rocky J. Squirrel and missed the little buggers every time.
I think they are bored so car-dodging is like an action adventure movie to them that they get to go home and brag about.
To bring the mood down (which is my specialty) the very act of owning a 'pet' is conditioning for the human to be a Kept Animal by THeir masters. YOU inflict the 'food' on them, YOU determine when and where they can relieve themselves, YOU are a surrogate replacement for their actual pack. YOU license them which is a direct indication that OWNING A PET IS UNLAWFUL (as contradistincted from Illegal which can always be remedied by money). YOU force them to get untold horrors injected into them as conditioning for when it is your turn to bring yourself as some kind of Stepford Wife to offer yourself on the altar of demonic possession by syringe.
Sans the smiling face and parting/welcoming kisses, the only thing that I have to keep me going every day on this ride is the planning of bringing down said System to beyond the quantum resonance.
Thanks PJ. All of the "fun" you described of owning said critter is one of the main reasons why I observed them in my daily routine, as opposed to walking said pet myself, lol.
As the immortal Bill Hicks once said, "It's just a ride".
Incredibly articulated! ❤️

Zdravia!
Wow. So profound.
I will go back in your-story and read one poem at a time so I am able to in-joy fully.
Thank you so much. I will check out your work as well. Thank you for subscribing as well!

My day isn’t nearly as exciting as this one seems to be, although the wail of an emergency vehicle siren did give me a light “what-the-hey” feeling
Hahaha, Hey Paul 1000 thanks for the restack. Having a revelation like this was exciting for me, a real game changer.
oh, my, how pro found lovely beauty full

Keep going.
Some ride.
Flat tires
Transmission's out
Sugar in the gas
Sand in the oil
Springs poking out the seat

I got out to push.
