#MMPrompt #WeirdMicro #vssfantasy Human folly A wellness #masquerade sold me that iodized salt was no good but their "sea salt" was. Soon I had a #macabre_macarade: A goiter with its own bra size, Dullness, pills, #scorched_innocence And a surgeon's bill for gland #renovations.

@malformed-poetry.bsky.social #MPPrompt "Verbing weirds language," They tongue, like beagles bunnying; Once again under-the-rugging how easy English ungrammars; Gerunding bare verbs underpants them to noun-malize. They fret that verbing will free-ball verisimilitude into something like #Verisim.

I am old. I fling my tits anyway. They land over my shoulders. I am sad, and cry anyway. My tears land on my belly. I am ugly. I walk in public anyway. People jump into traffic when they see me. I am old, sad, and ugly, a destroyer of people's eyesight And sometimes their lives. Still, I survive.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

#SillySeptember #mirfalism Good gurning requires mirfalism (not to be confused with pratfallism, it is the philosophy of wiping smirks off faces before they begin.) A desire not to be comic but ugly, to tap into human darkness, made manifest in muscular contortions

Embalming gilded rooftops that shone orange in the glow of an over-zealous sunset as rappincial squirrels scrambled. Let sad night lay folks to rest under their coffin lids, frozen in the formaldehyde fumes of the factories still burping through the night without any emission controls.

RIP Anne Dillard. (Yeah, it's a lousy month so far) I loved her "A Pilgrim on Tinker Creek" as a teen and I have a tattered secondhand copy of it right in front of me. I also recommend finding her "Total Eclipse" essay which made me want to see a full solar eclipse. (My best so far is 87%)

Faces on the Metro Train The pinks blur with plummy purples Overshadowed by chic and surly blacks Interpersed by green and chocolate. Sweaty beiges, jangly yellows press hard, the occasional orange bursts. Blues expand and red jackets flicker as the doors open at last. doubled #MPPrompt

Yielding to his indulgent fixation on a scurry by a leaf, I commenced to grab a camera To commemorate the moment; on my return I saw That with a prangalang and knocking of his paws on the trunk, he had filched out a squirrel to its doom, alas. Rest in peace.

I like this essay written by a Japanese gamer in English a lot. It encapsulates much of what one must learn living with baffling conditions. Illness is not a moral failing. Also, poetically written in its austerity. Thanks to #achronicvoice.com for the share! newlifestylesdlm.jp/2026/02/23/a...

Suspense, chasm, pencil, reflective. #GLOWprompt The luminous hero sprinted through the chasm dodging superannuated nukes, holding up his graphite weaponry-- A most special pencil without an eraser, which could not fall in the wrong hands, Since anybody wielding it became reflective.

My HVAC forgot it was summer And so my house keeps summer even as it cools outside. Fans blow And insects come in, hoping to cling to the last remnants of summer's dying heat. (Based on a true story.)

@malformed-poetry.bsky.social At the end, what of the day over is left? What is ever left, When the sheets take you, to the bed which walks you to your final pyre or restful rot? Such thoughts take me not when I embrace the pillow, Only during the bone-wear of the day's travails. #MPPrompt

#SomethingEveryday #StarTrek The FTL Maneuver At academy, I wondered what if one poker player swapped cards from hands at warp speed, what exactly everyone else would see? Later on, a Ferengi ship challenged me And the infamous sleight of Picard occurred. Answer was: annihilation. That's all.

#MPPrompt My knowledge: priceless; one-of-a-kind. Memories of how I actually acquired that, um. Do you want the trauma bin, the misfit corner, Or shall we go straight to the surprise grab-bags? Not ALL of it was pure dog doings, I promise. Just never be enticed by the softer bags, you'll cry.

PERMISSION — for the one who granted it to herself Some houses are built to keep you small. She built a second one on nothing but her refusal to leave. Now it has a masthead, a classroom across the world, a village that eats because of her. The permission was never his. It was hers all along.

I caught squirrels hotfooting it. Damage: one green pumpkin half chewed, confused with a black walnut apple. They took the tree highway to watch me from the dying elm as I cut and tossed it to the black walnut tree then dashed back. The birdbath is dry. I know why my ripe tomatoes are fewer today.
