While I might flatter myself that I can recognize an asshole when I see one, the truth is that stealth assholes are real.

The Information Age
bloomed & died
from wave after wave
of information inflation
and counterfeit information -
cheap knockoffs flooded
the market!
We live in a
post-information world:
an information junkyard,
to be precise.
Rusting, useless detritus
poses as treasure.
We catch glints
and think it value,
But even turds can glitter
in the Sun.
Positive? Negative? Who’s to say? Like the Taoist farmer, I’ll withhold judgement.
Sure, I just saw a bird fly past my window, and I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t domesticated.
The part that feels routine.
