feeling a little blue?
you can now buy lithium pills
direct from amazon
its strangely comforting
once-shameful, secret things have hit
the commercial mainstream

…my place of employment…
metaphor for work:
a shit sandwich covered in
powdered disaster
…end of the line (6-8-6)…
its inevitable
all left lanes either merge back in
or become turn-only
…the trials of one…
one must tuck one’s beard
inside one’s shirt to avoid
dipping in one’s soup
…the real reason…
it may seem fancy
eating cheetos with chopsticks.
no orange fingers
…lunchtime blues…
so what could top this
disaster of a salad?
one single crouton
…assuming you were still around…
who would you root for
if the aliens invade
post zombiegeddon?
…in the future, say ‘please and thank you’ to everything (6-8-6)…
better to humanize
a machine then dehumanize
living, breathing people
…lightclad (6-8-6)…
a raiment of rainbows
will dissolve into sunshine when
tugging loose, colored threads
…maybe eating healthy isn’t so bad after all…
made myself hummus
’twas decidedly yummus
spread over rye toast
___
i don’t much care for cooking or baking or basically anything that i can’t just pop in the microwave. mostly because i’m lazy. but it turns out that making one’s own hummus is not that difficult* and results in a fair bit of deliciousness, so, overall the payoff was worth the effort.
* – with that being said, it is slightly more difficult using a blender to do a food processor’s job. hopefully i can hijack santa or hanukkah harry to get me one for the holidays.**
** – why doesn’t wicca have a santa equivalent?! every religion should have someone in charge of distributing presents.
…when you are unhappy…
smile with your eyes
when you cannot with your heart
might just fool yourself
…why i don’t see myself employed at my current job much longer (6-8-6)…
i’m smart but powerless
an unfortunate position
when seeking a pay raise
…academia is a business…
inevitably
our culture becomes cancer
at mammon’s altar
—
inspired by the very thoughtful article by Thorn Mooney regarding pagan-centric post-secondary education.
…the universe speaks through traffic signals…
is it a warning –
each light turning yellow as
i sail beneath it?
…luminary chatter…
The moonlight reflects
what the sun is too ashamed
to say directly
…hidden ones (6-8-6)…
blackness absorbs all light
but what of the colors within
that await to burst free?
…metaphor for life?…
candy crush saga
i can’t ‘clear all the jelly’
squares of frustration
…idols (6-8-6)…
gods who need human hands
to work their plans aren’t worth the
lip-service rendered them
…winter cleaning…
box in the corner
filled with things once sacred but
now a bunch of junk
…chutes and ladders (6-8-6)…
when dark heart rises and
light heart grows disinterested
down the spiral we go
