Foundling, found poem
A mark of scarlet was the first,
Fitting of inferior character.
He was associated of plagues,
The name given of a tragedy.
The dead made a bottomless pit on him,
Rendered executed, the title of foundling.

Earns record-breaking medal,
a boxer apologizes, is sad,
wins US Senate primary.
Campaign raises $138.7M,
to lay off 15% of workforce,
US launches antitrust probe.
Child sex abuse sentence,
Utah abortion ban halted,
net neutrality rules blocked.

Etty's Pen
My heart failed a few times again today, but each time it came back to life.
This is no time for poets and philosophers.

It is strange that in such a short time a person can come to feel as much at one with a place and its inhabitants.
I’m no good for anything, it’s really very sad,

EPIC HUNT
This is Epic!
an epic adventure
a moment of truth
a wild ride
Oh My God!
sliding on ice
still moving, still moving
HAHAHAHAHA!
amazing!
every moment counts
right into the belly of the beast
we’re going to get our gold
we’re either all in or all out
a circular pattern
ship is adrift
keep pulling, keep pulling
expect the unexpected
forecast is bad
decide to give it one more shot
we don’t want

In the Breezy Trees
We are in
the breeze
with trees possible
off the flying lake
look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office
in back of the park
No back-to-back
or front-to-back
conversations
on old rocky route
where roots are not masked
Dogs wearing masks
are welcome
Humans need to be
on leashes
Rain policy
will be localized
at the park
You can just
show up on
a deconstructing
road to

June's Cosmic Parade

June’s dreams
you’re the guide
"meet & greet"
the ecliptic zoo

a new five worldless day

these planets never stand still
click on Mars to tune up
see Mars square Pluto

truth freedom and that
need to capture the planet
of love we had
pay attention to retrograding
Mercury will be found
become mythology

Market Miasma
market sell-off
mass outflows hit every asset
all indices in the red
we have to navigate the next few months
Fed insistent on 2% target
these currency moves are pretty significant
the macro factor is the Fed
indiscriminate selling
the bubble is deflating
a recession is/is not imminent
rotation away from goods and toward services
50 bps on table
time is of the essence
logistics
winners and losers

Illiquid New Moon
signal of approaching cataclysm?
we can't see the gauntlet
it's past the cunning poison
a villain of his own timeline
piqued by an illiquid New Moon
Level 2 risk for severe stratagems
Earth braces for an apocalyptic slap
this time it could break

Found Poem
Then one day...
in the dark, in the dark
in the deep, deep dark
a bright speck floated, invisible as dreams, special as Love.
The last word was only a
whisper,
barely understood, and then
there was no more.

Mystery Word: Found Poem
I found you,
and our meeting was accidental,
as meetings of any great lovers.
I found you,
hanging on a whitewashed
wall flower garden,
collectively supporting
a rational argument,
like a group of men in a chorus.
I loved you,
and you didn’t refuse my love.
Leaving your home: prose passages,
you came with me
to form our

The Terrorists Were Suceeding Beyond Their Wildest Dreams Found Poem
the Terrorists were succeeding beyond their wildest dreams
the terrorists were succeeding
beyond their wildest dreams
they thought what were the chances
it was so much better,
easier than they thought
as the bombs dropped all around them
to where it would end
they did not know
All they knew was that
it was all about to end
you see we were
