Perspective [Lyric Poem]
PROMPT: Unique
Literally everything about a person — except (conscious or unconscious) attempts to copy others –contributes uniqueness.
The only reason we are not each entirely unique is that we make active attempts (for both good and bad reasons) to not be.
NOTE: Identical twins may have a different perspective.

PROMPT: Judge of Character
While I might flatter myself that I can recognize an asshole when I see one, the truth is that stealth assholes are real.
PROMPT: Positive Events
Positive? Negative? Who’s to say? Like the Taoist farmer, I’ll withhold judgement.
PROMPT: Animals
Sure, I just saw a bird fly past my window, and I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t domesticated.
PROMPT: Routine
The part that feels routine.
FIVE WISE LINES [November 2025]
A thing is mighty big when time
Zora Neale hurston; Tell my horse
and distance cannot shrink it.
…if you want to be elected, it is better
hunter s. thompson; Better than sex
to be Mean than to be Funny.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile,
jesus; Matthew 5:38-40
go with him twain.
The only gamblers who will talk openly
Kit chellel; lucky devils
are the ones who don’t make money.
The successful ones keep their mouths shut.
To live a creative life,
joseph chilton pearce
we must lose our fear of being wrong.
