In Tulum, a lazy old Iguana
was asked to leave but said, "I don't wanna!"
They threated and chided -
reasoned and derided -
'til it left, bribed with good marijuana.

There once was a nomadic ger-dweller
who had no garage, attic, or cellar.
But what it lacked in space
it made up for in pace
when ger turned to baggage from shelter.

PROMPT: Won’t Live to Witness
Daily writing prompt
What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness?
I would love to see an era in which AI and robotics frees up humans to work on the project of being better humans physically, mentally, creatively, emotionally, artistically, etc.
However, I suspect that on the way to that point there will be periods of dystopia, chaos, and quasi-Armageddon. As near as I can tell, it will involve the invention of a new form of economy (and possibly governance,) which I haven’t seen anyone discussing in the merited depths.

Rusty Prayer Wheels [Lyric Poem]
Rusty prayer wheels
on a dusty street.
They squeak & they squeal,
& no circuit completes,
but still hands reach out for each one
'cause who has faith in the clean wheel spun?

PROMPT: Minimalism
Absolutely. The IKEA Nesting Instinct has run amok, and Consumer is a definitionally discontented state of being.
Personally, I hate that I know what a duvet is.

sky -- blank & blue --
stretches mountain to mountain;
unseen raptor: "screech!"
