#Renounce-? The renunciation of a fantasy will never lead to its dissolution, but aids in its fortification by buttressing its resistance to transformation. (Anon)

#vss365 … and so it uncoiled fully: “A mere look” to knock him on his ass, not with a touch but in a revelation, and her glint had become the far-flung passion, the “someone” unnamed by the chaos who’s already dawning and drowning. It’s the apocalypse’s gift #passion

”And nevertheless, seven shattering eternalities of fame are too conflictive to be a form of messaging!“ The lovely, young VP in charge of communications would protest vehemently, but even her vehement frown was spoiled by the general ecstasy and the piano wasn’t listening anyway. #vss365 #conflict

… and, above it all, those sketchy bursts of dissonance and colors would have kept hinting about some elaborate embroideries that seemed meant to complexify the whole concept underneath its surfaces and right along its hems and seams—in fractal patterns, nonetheless, even while teasing even more complexity somewhere beneath its plainer surfaces; and so her mind kept tracing around the design, calculating its symmetries—as 1.618, the golden ratio, kept whispering to her from someplace that was wound around and through its curves (as per a prior agreement ). Hence, it was as if the gown had once belonged to some ancient, now-forgotten, esoteric royal, who’d been poised, once, to receive a petition. Or else she was waiting to be guided by a handsome monk through a new meditation? ‘Eloquently enough,’ she muses to herself now, even as her thoughts begin spiralling to elsewhere….

#vss365 Hot tears and whimpering and simpering. In the park. And in no rain? And, I mean…? Yes, really, it was quite especially irksome. As if any of that could have made it different? But so much naïveté she had in her. As if her love had been a puppy. And she couldn’t keep it. #naïveté

“Cute, is it not? In its intrepidity? Who’s so audaciously created an #elixir, drinking it and deriving, and then they’d dive for many days into the blue nothingnesses of its symmetries? Only to make out an illusion of their conclusion?” As the new professor’d asked everyone…. #vss365

A silent sullen glance downwards was once
An odd particularity and perhaps One of the most special blends Of a posed poise, a sneer & a vulgarity E'er to be employed by the bourgeoisie laity.
On a silent doomsday. And of our dooms silently. Of a new silent doomsday-ridden's sudden shock arising as...
An increase in sieges nearby to the city and all its new surge protectors.
Then some disorienting
and disorientated songs instead of you, and then I had some seizures, And then....
A silence.
"Yet, not quite yet now in spite of the tennis, and so now, should we not just put on another kettle for tea?"

… and so, by now, her hair’d turned into an unmitigated disaster. Uncombed forever? But it was the way I knew, that look in her eyes. Then I had to go over the evidence again with still a finer tooth. Until I found the key to all her mysteries… I’m Joe and, still, this is my beat. #vss365 #comb

#vss365 #literature
'… and so, why did the disparities matter?' all those faces seemed to want to ask me. As if they had all wanted to turn our brief love affair into some kind of a new literary masterpiece. And yet, through it all, our love has endured, because love, like literature, will conquer even that most convoluted of bad storylines. And so then, my friend, if you ever had to live through a poor love story that feels like it's straight out of a bad play or a too-quickly conceived-of urban fantasy series, just remember to lean hard on your sense of the total futility!”

#vss365 There’s something of a sweet, sardonic smile that can’t ever be captured for, you know, the nihilism. Or its #tailwind. Or the silence. Or a honey-treat of canned laugh-tracks swallowing themselves of the loneliness.

In an alleyway, in deep rain,
Standing sideways just off of a Vancouver puddle,
She had just sang some choruses of Love will Always Make
You Lonesome
To an audience of broke, outa-work loggers and miners When it happened. But I'd have married her anyway. If she'd only glimpsed over at me. Bet on it, bet on it, I'd marry you any day in the rain. Or in an alleyway.
I am Joe. This is my beat...

Art (by me who’s not much of an artist. . . .)
A large, tall, open rectangular shape in the left and upper portion. It looks like a backwards “C” or a simplified, angular hook or a doorway. The top horizontal line slants slightly downward to the right, then drops vertically before turning inward with a shorter horizontal segment, creating a stepped or “stair-step” indentation on the right side. The left vertical line extends all the way down.

In the bottom right corner, there’s a solid black circle partially overlapped by a lighter gray oblong shape of roughly the same size. The overlap creates a crescent-like effect on the black side, giving the impression of, 
maybe, a moon phase.
