Provincial but sadly not Canadian. Still legal in most states. Signing books (not mine!) Compulsive liar.

Also good: they/them (royal), dude/dude (abiding), they/them (multitudinous).

Blame our brains
muttering to themselves
in splendid
#aphotic
isolation
for these dark words.

Yet were we to live
like twenty-fifth century
men and machines,
exchanging scalp and skull
for domes of crystal—

Would our minds,
basking in neon
or strange starlight,
produce wonder,
or horror?

My cat's call is clarion
#suave and sure
head high, tail diffident
as he surveys his domaIn.

Beneath, four feet
mince and patter, padding
dainty and delicate
cold tile defying his vanity.

For his sake, we do not notice.

Low sun echoes
an iceblink,
pendulum glaciating:
hidden within its arc,
a snowfield.

Late leaves whisper from
barren trees,
each hoping to
be the #last
word of autumn.

His IMDB profile would be incredibly impressive on its own. I had no idea until now that he was a script doctor on so many major movies!

Thankful this season
for doing what #matters:

Our honor in ruins;
banner in tatters—

Though our warders surrendered;
yoked to a beast

We spoke out our truths,
and protected our least.

Slaving in cubes for
a man far away

Lives ticking down each
double-click of the day

Numbers go up; and
homeward we track

To one-click the #health
from another guy's back.

I'd forgotten the
classrooms of winter,

Offering #learning
in the world laid bare.

The textbook
in the veins of a decaying leaf

Or the map
in the cracks of the pavement.

She sits, tail twining,
otherwise still,
at the edge of the pond.

And what does she see,
gazing from the water?
Herself? The fish beneath?

She gathers, tenses:
her moment of #reflection
soon to pass.

Today is Charles M. Schulz’s birthday.

Here’s a comic I drew in the early 2000s. (Link to the full strip in the comments.)

Both his son and grandson got in touch to thank me, after this ran.

Yes, I was blown away.

We used to read
of small people
in the shadow
of horrors.

Tiny enough
to overlook their
inaction or
complicity.

Lives #timed
to taste the
fruits of empire
and witness its fall.

Today, we are
authors.

May our readers
forgive us.

Little packrat
I cannot confess
innocence in
your demise

But know I
buried you in
your best
coat

Its softness
once #relevant,
your warmth
gone to ground.

It is #Caturday, and the Office Manager would like to provide proof of life.

Not the best pose for that, but the effort is appreciated!

They sold the stream
that quenched the corn
a decade before
you were born

You see the lights
where cities grow:
the grass is green,
and fountains flow.

And know beyond
these #arid lands
that power drinks
with bloody hands.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

I'd sworn to run
where most
feared tread
among ghosts

in caverns dread
or in the skies
to fight dire
demons with eyes

reeking fire
and ichor
till my skin
wore their color

and my kin
bade me begone.

#Unearthly become.
Free. Alone.
