#2wordprompt :: lack : ride

I’d have been a snake, but I lacked the venom; I’d the coils, but not the sleek hide; the body of a winding road, but not the ride.

#vss365 - #timed

Timed as in situated, a particular ‘then’ rather than measured to a limit; tensed as in placed relative to a particular ‘now’ rather than coils anticipating anger in potentia.

Andrew Bird - Proxy War

You don’t have to get over her
She don’t have to get over you
It’s true these two have never met before
At least not in real life

type / strong #2wordprompt

Daguerreotype of the St-Etienne musical association, 1841: silver bromide tinged fugues & blurs, ascending clusters of bass notes undergirding strong, unrelenting personalities lined up, stern faced modes, lenses, movements and resolutions.

#vss365 - relevant

Heat stroke and the rural mind, etching a fiery frieze, relief: towering stalks of wheat, overbearing and psychically strange, demanding attention, questioning: was the domestication of plants pure, wise or relevant? They, in retort, find us repellent, wild.

I’m sitting here literally broken up a bit that I didn’t realize Nanci Griffith had passed away. She and Kate Wolf both gone too soon. 🖤

tired / wrong #2wordprompt

“Fire over water,” He said and immediately I was tired, tired of one lament in the wake of each element, each set to smother the essence of another, sky over earth, ether over dream, all wrong in jarring formal schemes where instead there might be congress, alloy.

WW3 is going to be the craziest war with Donald at the helm. We’ll be fighting a Canadian-Danish-Iranian-Venezuelan-Nigerian-South African-Korean alliance alongside Russia, El Salvador, Israel, and FIFA.

#2wordprompt - minute / prison

I am a tiny felon with a history of tiny atrocities: you weep your tiny tears for the tiny victims, remembering that every protist was once somebody’s microbe; I shake with my tiny mirthless chuckles, dead-eyed, and dragged off to a minute prison.

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.

My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
