The Lesser Of Two Evils (Always Gets My Vote) Miracle Man 10/7/2024 What once were blatant lies, are now merely, “I misspoke.“ Are us non degree folks stupid, or is it another political joke? Politicians tour the country smiling, shaking hands and grooving. But a clue to their “misspeaking”, they’re lips are always moving. While they may put us in classes, seeing us as either sheep or...

Your brightness I cannot outshine, and their need for you my favors can't outshine, I have no qualities to learn how to shine. They watch to see you set...

Lesser Expectation
You saw me in a different way last week, back then I could see that you perceived my persona as interesting, wise and a little alluring. Inwardly, I was preening but of course I did not parade my conceit for you to notice. Now you look disappointed, now I seem to have slipped off my perch. I must consider your expectations and ideals of...

Premium Member Vermin of a Lesser Sextant
It's a grand old boat-still quite reliable. But from the darkness below. A crimson breasted leviathan is clawing holes. Deep into its starry soul. She's quickly listing. Vermin gnawing away at the sextant. Panic is hastily jumping ship. With the NorthStar stuffed in their bindles... The loyalists are bailing water. Hope garnished in salt and blistered.
