So, Chancho wants to try a new thing. Since poetry is a part of literature that is heard rather than just read, he is forcing...erg, uhm, *asking* the Opposable Thumbs to voice record along with the poems. Thumbs ain't much of a talker, so hopefully it's not too cringe. #poetry #purretry #poem

it does not pick where it grows
but sows where it may
shallow and deep
long and wide
so even if you pluck it
root remains
and it does not begrudge the wind its ways
nor bend to the yeoman's will
able to crack concrete
profane modernity
thrive where all else would perish
it is tenacious
persistent
it is beauty in strength
so be like the weed
and reach for the sun

Why can't humans just stay still for a little while? #poetry #purretry #ihatetotravel
**7.10.26** **I fucking hate to travel**
A health journey,
a wealth journey,
a journey towards inner self.

A love journey,
a shove journey,
a journey with no one else.

A journey to the store,
a journey in the street,
smashing in the car I kindly meet.

A journey with a cod,
a journey with a cat,
a journey where Death watches me splat.

A journey to the places I have been,
and some that I have not.

A journey to forget this human skin,
that in the end will rot.

#poem #poetry #purretry Don't get burned in the sun, little irises.
**7.3.26**
sweet irises of June
slender stalks and frilly manes
basking
in the nascent summer sun
wooed
by its humble heat
ere the great lion ascends
with a sovereign bellow
cultivating
golden fields of phantasy
to plumpen and purple
ripen and rot
with the ergot of erudition

faceless walls
that could be anywhere
and so are nowhere
howling a singularity
into which thoughts tumble
an aggregate that proclaims the manifesto
of mundane modernity--
that if it doesn't work out
well
it's only temporary,
that it is self care
when it makes you insecure,
that it becomes a basic necessity
when it is in excess--
all to simply
make you
feel seen

i ran over you
as you fell before me
jerkin' that jelly-bone jive
and your head imploded
a watermelon
a grape
a wilting Buddha's hand
reaching out
from where your thoughts had once been
and i do not want to eat this bitter fruit
but i must
for a waste is a terrible thing

leaves dark
as the expanse between stars
quiver with the dust
of cosmic annihilation
as pulsar pools of chlorophyll
phosphoresce towards
a golden crown
pale pink petals
brindled with rot
casting illusory truths
of fractal dilation

My editor, but he's not that great at spelling and sometimes walks on the keyboard making weird suggestions. Pretty sure he doesn't know shit about grammar either. Think Chancho should fire him? #writing #selfpublishedbook #cat

**6.5.26**
What is a poem,
on a sunny
Sunday
afternoon?
With a gentle sky
ground fresh from rain
red finches
and yellow chickadees
gobbling up worms
uprooted from the earth;
and the creek swells
with water sweet
as the crickets and sunflowers sing
--an ode to early summer's becomingness;
and so
stirred by this glory
the slumbering beasts awake
they sniffle
they yawn
muzzles raised to scent this pungent potentiality;
they bustle to and fro
racing to an end
that even they cannot define
crashing into one another
in a hew of muscle and bone
pushing each other aside
so that they can be the first to see;
and they trample the soft earth
now hardened to clay
the birds take flight
the insects flee
the water soured to filth
as the bear tears into the wolf
and the wolf mauls the lion
and the lion grabs hold of the hyena
who laughs
getting that perfect picture
striking that perfect pose
that show that *they*
know how to enjoy
a sunny
Sunday
afternoon

you can't catch that man with a bottle of teeth
sand in the joints
fire on the tongue
last night i dreamt i was a fish
each milky eye an ovary
gaze reflected in the stars
as if in answer to the divine
for god is power
and power is potentiality
the fluid of life condensed to voidless whole
blooming forth in our lungs
as histrionic magnolias
for to comprehend is to contain
and every attempt to contain
comes
from the desire to control
