#EVERMORE #vss365 Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe…

#FALLING roadrunner cliff side acme rockets wild ride tapping foot finds only air luckily I came prepared— handmade sign behind my back hidden stash I keep a stack this one’s simple just a “YEEP!” then . . . . . . I’m . . . . . . falling . . . . . . CRASH! “meep-meep!” #vss365

#VICTORY a victory garden in the robot war in lieu of a pardon or grocery store small patches of land for each human hand to toil in the soil under AI command #vss365

#GAMBLE #vss365 from bar stools and chairs nursing cocktails and beers the suckers and marks pour sweat and tears into a box daddy needs new shoes and socks bragging rights for a bit and a dopamine hit doesn’t matter which box they choose on average everyone will lose

#MIDNIGHT #vss365 The lesson: if you’re going to rob a house, check your watch!

#PRIMITIVE #vss365 Some things never change… Happy June!

#WONDROUS #vss365 New format from the website rejigger. What do you think?

#REMNANT traces of civility hints of the still-upright with the vestigial ability to feign being polite encountered unexpectedly cause moments of perplexity bring memories of nicer days and smiles of delight #vss365

#RIFT #vss365 The art still needs a bit of tweaking but wow, I woke up in a weird place this morning.

#vss365 #gravity pulled into a hole so rabbity that Alice waves as I fly past: “been there done that got out fast” roar of air surge of stress one-star service… not the best: “coffee? tea? shrinking potion marked Drink Me?” feels like atest so no I would not recommend this Wonderland Express

#SIGNAL #vss365 Filed under #evil, #death, and #crime. Gotta follow where the muse leads…

#CREVASSE #vss365 Did some more unslopping yesterday. Talk about a crevasse…

And another poem has been unslopped! So many more to go. Curse you, 2025!

Another poem has been unslopped!

#JUDGEMENT #vss365 We will be judged.

#IMMERSE headfirst into the cosmic pool lungs of squall to test the rules a newborn observer arrives to collapse quantum fields between afternoon naps #vss365

#TETHER wrists held together by invisible tether crammed into a box unreal lashed by a hurricane no one else can feel on a city street corner stands Ichabod Horner serving his time for the infamous crime of speaking out against the Society of Mime

#LINGER stay just a little bit longer do you have to do you have to do you have to do you really have to go? why can’t you why can’t you why can’t you why can’t you just linger? I wish it could I wish it would is it starting yes it’s starting to snow #vss365

#BETRAYAL how awful to be a waffle two minutes toasted to perfection boasted too crisp too golden to be to anyone beholden to be powdered to be trayed to be anointed in rich maple to be palanquinned to table and most horribly betrayed #vss365

#INTENT in tent unable to make rent looking out at the world through a plastic vent not what I wanted but without my consent things have gotten expensive and AI can get bent #vss365 Same website, new hosting, such faster loading! gfishbone.com

#FERAL the feral child fresh from the wild can’t sit forward in her chair breaks her pencils eschews utensils drives her parents mental to take her anywhere jackets tossed hats and gloves lost face dripping sauce food dirt and moss and what can we say? we wouldn’t have her any other way #vss365

#LUMINOUS #vss365 we are the tumbled luminous burning bright and numerous to milky arms of light is our flight out from our shrouded nursery across gravitic shimmering I fell something odd simmering on the afterbirth of gas and earth that orbits in my spinning shell— so difficult to tell

#BARREN into vast wastelands our telescopes starin’ scanning for signs in a universe barren no structures no probes no messages in bottles no alien visits no chatter no twattle the truth is out there to our horror and dread one island alive in an ocean of dead #vss365

Some thoughts on #forgiveness filed under #evil. Can we forgive evil? Can we distinguish evil from selfishness or the callous indifference to the pain of others? Must we offer evil fair chance to reform, repent, and redeem itself? Can evil earn forgiveness and if so, does it remain evil? #vss365

#UNALLOYED the latest tool to be deployed a rod of iron unalloyed hit hardware shelves in the land of elves to tearful workers overjoyed when machinery fails or computers crash grab this handy stick and bash, bash, bash! is how it’s meant to be employed with no more need to stay annoyed #vss365

#DILIGENCE diligence is dew restocked each morning fresh and new sprinkled across leaf and lawn in the hour before dawn droplets collected connected infected with promises great— but snooze instead of choose and they’ll evaporate #vss365

#EVENFALL crepuscular malkin hitherward crawls out from the wood at evenfall in aureat coat with argentine throat to the consternation of us all #vss365

#FLEETING a navy on its patrol boast fleeting the fleet up and down the coast barges and tankers frozen at anchors in a broken supply chain of link upon link— the main problem being their strait has a kink #vss365

#HAUNTED by night she teased by day she taunted the living soul she stalked and haunted iced fingers on his spine such skills she flaunted plucking and strumming serenades unwanted #vss365

We took Mom to lunch at a Chinese restaurant and all learned that modern duck sauces no longer contain any duck meat or duck byproducts. It’s all artificial duck flavoring!

#MISFIT #vss365 class dismissed! class destroyed! blame it on the misfit boy rocking his chair gaze turned everywhere but never to the eye you’d think he’d fallen from the sky until AI… in thriving Singularity the boy founds a new charity— a bubble of Earth Original to house the neurotypical

#DOVE the peace that wasn’t meant to be still weighs on me like my proposed surrender by white-winged war ender that finished its life on the blade of your knife feathers riven from stab after stab that poor bird twitching on your slab lest anyone think you had been forgiven #vss365

#MOONBEAM #vss365

#DEAR truths we hold dear at the point of a spear are marched away for three months and a year by a retinue of liars through a landscape of fires while Met Gala reporters monopolize the wires #vss365

#PHANTOM they tingle like phantom limbs these phantom hers and hims surgically gone memory jangles nerve and so they live on #vss365

#NAME Submitted for your consideration… #vss365

My #vss365 poems will be offset by a day due to time zones. That worked well in April and allows me to finally add an “x” poem as a bonus to complete my alphabet! #XANADU is poem 121/365 of the Reup series.

#LION honestly tryin’ to see a young lion as the regal scion of savannas wide whether Simba or Kimba scored by flutes or marimba adored by all of leonine pride but aside from that he’s just a cat chasing and racing hunting and pacing snoozing in sunbeam to dream about large bowls of cream #vss365

#DICHOTOMOUS dichotomous hippopotamus is cooler than we thought it was— what’s inside, we must confide, is as we were all taught it was but everything that’s not within comprises its universe-sized twin at least that’s the current hypothesis #vss365

#ZEUS (origin story) #lightning #vss365

#TACTICIAN cork board tactician schematic magician sifting the data adjusting positions pre-planning as art in affairs of the heart assembling ammo but can’t pull the trigger #vss365

#LUNAR (1/2) we sent a sun god to the moon he stroked his lyre sang a tune collected rocks from lunar dunes returned to Gaia all too soon #vss365

#PSYCHOPOMP #vss365 treks to heaven start at birth so our guides must walk the earth smoothing tangles working angles steeping souls in sense of worth mortal is each psychopomp on their own paths do they tromp aided from aiding to the final fading back into night— we each other’s angels of light

#CATS inventory of the house: four humans two cats one sometimes mouse four fill bowls act like they’re in control while we two preen and nap resting up for patrols we hunt for the one sometimes played with for fun feigning fresh kills the corpse disappearing to return for more thrills #vss365

#FISHING fishing in my well of wishing for scandals in need of dishing I landed a three-eyed wriggler wrangler wrecker slippery squiggler hauled it in tagged its fin and gave it a warning before I tossed it back in #vss365 (back in n my native time zone, catching up later with #cats)
