Nighttime Tea

A hot cup of tea on a cold starry night.
Living in Kanata. They/ Them. Left, and I don't mean handed. No AI.
I follow people intentionally not for numbers, so if I followed you, I think you're neat.
Am I writing the book or is the book writing me? :O

One writer to another, I invite you to write a haiku about my cat. His name is Batty.

Northern Flicker.
I know your habitat, call, nesting habits.
But I know not your name, which your lover called and called, though you could not get up.
Maybe if I had learned it, I could have saved you.
Who can teach the language that will save us all?

"What? What...do you mean?"
"Yeah, no, for sure, I mean, look." -points-
"I uhh..."-looks- "I...don't see it."
"LOOK."
-looks more-
"You really gotta get in there. Closer."
-slap-
"Hey!"
"Idiot."

I'm not enough for this world.
Not cruel enough.
Not hard enough.
Not thirsty enough for the taste of blood.
I have spilled my own blood, but it wasn't I who drank it.
I guess it soaked into the earth and it's still there waiting for me to join it.
Not yet.

Magic, my birth right
yours too
Is just #science.
Locked in Bluebeard's tower.
But many hands are picking the lock, now.
The wife of Prometheus hid in that terrible room. You've never heard of her but her husband is famous, unkillable,
She's been holding a fistful of fire for 1000 years.

I have nothing normal to say about literature that hasn't already been said.
I could get crazy with it.
#Literature? More like cliterature, bro can't find it without help and when he does he doesn't know what to do with it.
What do you mean Fight Club isn't an aspirational tale?

"Making history" as though it's bread to be broken and shared as spoils and not a moving, breathing thing.
History, the largest living organism, measures not in distance covered but it's unbroken temporality.
From "now" to "back then", the best way to travel, is, books.

Earth drew her map with the quills of living birds - described shorelines, air currents, hedgerows and tree lines.
Migrating Elk write tracks, now the wolf's border, now the bear's.
We took her pen and dipped it in blood to hold the borders still.
#Geography is written by the conqueror.

Why don't I become #famous
so I can hate it
Why don't I become adored and scorned, different from now
ignored, bored, and a little sore about the whole damn thing
Why don't I stop dredging up painful dark truths and say the line
"And they lived happily ever after."
Famously boring.

To know without context is the hand grasping for the line, the shadow, the feeling
The hand is small and unconnected to a body, yet
It was not given lessons on love, it was born to follow the curve of a smile and return it
#Education passes or fails
The hand still grasps but knows not why

In order to get the proletarians back under control in the wake of the golden age of workers (post successful peasant revolt) in the 1500's the government of France legalized rape against proletariat women in order to pit the working class against each other and weaken them.
