Premium Member Conspiring Muses
I've heard about non-violent communication
but wasn't deeply listening.
It didn't seem to have much of a plot,
a lack of creative tension,
drawing my full survivalist attention.

So this is probably all wrong
that I'm not owning my conspiring dissonant...

Mating of the Rich and Famous
I once walked into my backyard
and found two slugs mating in a bucket
I had just learned how slugs go about mating,

It might become too ironically

to admit
I am taking a (s)hit

He said he planned to freeze to death.

Did he mean to have his body frozen?
Stored to hatch again later,
leftovers out of time's deep freezer of waiting.

No, not that.
He responds with undeniable dismissal,

Mankind Thru the Looking Glass Part 1
MANIPULATION AND WAR’S SPECTRE

When races, politics and religions,
Are grimly brandished as righteous reasons, 
To bloody calm fields and serene seasons,
Tis madness, paranoia…delusions.

A mans grandiose superiority lore,
Humanity’s stinking, putrid, sore,
To slaughter the blameless, to covet more,

Premium Member Sleepless In Whereis Part 1
I’m stealing through a twilit realm, the ancient pale of Whereis,
passing chambers of an Heiress
(though no need to feel embarrassed)
through a magic mystic mirror hanging curtainless.

A glimpse near naked alleyways (denuded by the moon) ex-

Premium Member Enlightening Religions
Religiosity is the culture-bound pretension
of religious function.

Religious is to spiritually healthy function
as religion
creed
faith system, idolatrous or divine,
is to spiritual form,
structure,
ecosystemic or pathologically other-unwise.

Spirit is to natural health functions,
mental and physical and sacred,
as nature
ecology
active positive hope...

Thoughts In a Truck-Stop Diner
This place is tucked out of the way,
across river from the city,
most folks don’t even know it’s here,
and I suppose that’s a pity.

Maybe the truck-stop that it serves
is what drives some people away,
but their hash-browns...

No worries no fear, just a carefree life
