What am I to you Little more than a #number A lowly zero #vss365 #haiku

Of all the #numbers, my favorite is 𝑖. I mean, π is cool and all, but 𝑖 flat out tells reality to suck it. 𝑖 is a rebel, a sunglasses and leather jacket wearing badass that doesn't give a damn about the rules. #vss365

'Think of a #number between 1 & 10, Gabe.' 'Why, Pixie?' 'Don't ruin it. Just choose.' 'No. I don't trust you.' 'What? Talk about paranoid. It's a harmless number.' 'Last time "harmless" made me forget an entire week.' 'Talk about holding a grudge.' 'I hold experience.' #vss365

"Riz, I can smell that cocktail from here! What's in it!" I asked. "Rum, vodka, whisky, absinthe...." Riz replied while sat upside down, tail dropped over his face. "Did you #measure it out properly?" "If ya mean by da bucket, den yeh." "Explains it all." #vss365 #riztherogue

Want me to be you How can I #measure to you When you don't know me #haiku #vss365

case in point ⤴️ when i allow boredom..i do silly-little-things like this: query.."what bored as an adult does for your soul".. because i'm bored. and i can. it's a luxury to be bored. i luvet:)..ttys.. now go get bored.. #boredom #art #music #photography #nature #nurture #spirituality #philosophy

allowing an 'i need to be bored timeout'.. got lost down two astrological holes. still deep. search 'humanistic astrology'.. put your birthday in-time. place. it helps explain human behavior & lifepaths. plan to write about it. if i let myself be bored i grow. i find 'being bored' a gift nowadays..

..in a world that needs it.. be kind.. and then be kinder.. ©️dww #indieartist #zen #philosophy #art #booksky #spirituality #writesky #nature #substack #music #poetry #blueskyartshow #bluesky #paint #humansofbluesky #photography #indie #photographer #writer #artist #musician #poet #writingcommunity

Sometimes I shrink Sometimes I grow My name is Alice If you didn't know Drink me. Eat me Result's always the same. I shrink down very small And then I grow again My height's hard to #measure Changing size all the time I'm shrinking again That's the end of the rhyme #vss365

"I see a pile of notebooks and towers of coffee cups. Gone back to writing your Eratica have you?" I asked. "Of fukin course! I can't give up on da #literature masterpiece of our times!" Riz replied. "I think we have different thoughts on what that means." #vss365 #riztherogue

"Sounds like borin readin ta me." "You say that about anything that isn't you." #vss365 #riztherogue

Height of arrogance To believe that we're supreme We'll be #history #vss365 #haiku

AIs can’t recreate nuance or layered meanings. It’s like trying to create a sculpture with a sledgehammer instead of a chisel. The novel you put your soul into will end up sounding like IKEA instructions. www.theverge.com/news/815987/...

"Well, we're officially lost, thanks to you mister I-don't-need-a-map!" I said glaring at Riz. "I don't need a stinkin map! Dey're fer #geography nerds!" "Then where are we?" "We're next ta a tree, duh." "You wouldn't be like this if it was a treasure map." #vss365 #riztherogue
