Everywhere I go there's a hard No.
If annoyance is a link
to humanity. So be it.

An Empath Matrix

"there are problems in these times but, ooh, none of them are mine"


When those around suffer:
Validate or ignore, things stay
the same; dismiss and they worsen:

The key:
Ignorance, Validation and Dismissal exactly the same:
Why, simply enjoy what isn't . . .

Nemesis

"Now a curse upon Because and his kin!"

I tried to transcend humanity,
because humanity is its own worst enemy.

Truth is,
I love enemies.]]> Trickster Blues

“There are a lot of people who will give money or materials, but very few who will give time and affection.”

I salute spring each morning of that season,
the things I do for love, I do alone;
cruelty and indifference I spread as the scythe 
one with its blade.

When my hands clasp in autumn,
deeds and words incubate eccentrically 
for upcoming seasons. ]]> Seeds of Abraxas

Pennywise and 50 Cent Fool

Affect is red, Cohesion is blue.
Anything you like:
Sightseeing in a zoo

more dense than a cannery,
lighter than tin.

The death of the old is the oldtimey myth yet again.

Glue opens distance.
Happiness is fine.

But sadness, good-oldtimey sadness is not worth leaving behind]]> Ethics
