Goodnight Void #845

Goodnight Void #845

Goodnight Void.Trying to practice Lucid Dreaming,Again.Hell,I'd even take black,Dreamless sleep.Free from the attempts by my subconscious,To murder me,Repeatedly,Almost every single night.Penance paid in distortions of time -Common to dreams.Few hours,Can become decades,Or centuries.

THE BEST

THE BEST

Where're my challengers?Those whom can look me in my eye,Grin,Call me to spar.Intellectual,Or Physical,Love a good challenge;Gets boring & lonely at the top.Bring 'em on!Dare I hope for more?Disciple,Protege,Heir?Hunting talents,That can rival my own.Even if only in one area.THE BEST

sTRENGTH iN sWAYING sHADOWS.

sTRENGTH iN sWAYING sHADOWS.

Waiting for the world to end.Grinding against it,In an eternal struggle.Sleep.I'm tired.Tired of fighting.Of scraping by.Watching the eternal flame:When is it my turn to feast on power?Night breezes,Strength in swaying shadows.If I can't save the world,Should I end it faster,Myself?

Anomalous Existence.

Anomalous Existence.

Died millennia ago.Long before anybody ever knew who I was.Mask.Glamour.Changing shapes,Through the centuries.Anomalous existence.Learned not to trust:"Monster!""Demon!"Echoing in my head.If they find me,I'll be burned at the stake,As before.Cruel.Maybe I should have stayed dead.

Hiding In Plain Sight.

Hiding In Plain Sight.

I'm not hiding.But not exactly announcing my presence,Either.Being completely unknown -Yet holding multiple records,& titles?It's such a lovely paradox,Or juxtaposition.I can emerge from the faceless crowds,Use my title to make my points,Then fade into the sea of faces after.Underground.

BEYOND METAPHOR

BEYOND METAPHOR

You don't fucking understand:BEYOND METAPHORback to truthBusiness -Juggling hundreds of thousands of dollars,Five digits frequently.Yet ghetto,All same.Big Iron,Comes With Big Machine Payments.Eating raw Mr. Noodles out of the package,Like fucking animals.Leaving Mouldy Dip Bottles,For me to knock...

Little Has Changed Since Rome.

Aye,Lads,Lasses,Cryptids,Aye.Apocalypse is an ugly business.They only taught me how to warn,Of such things.Be herald of doom.Not how to exist after I've finally let go.Defeat my Anxiety,That keeps me gnawing upon my own tail?Ouroboros Indeed.Little has changed since Rome.Alchemy,Or Endings.

Par to a rez dog.

Silent In Dusty Vaults.

Silent In Dusty Vaults.

Last one out,Hit the lights.Leave our work in darkness,Silent in dusty vaults,Or warehouses.Alone at last.Just us.Pitch black.Thought.My memories are hazy,Amidst clearer eidetics.Result of rampantly being gaslit,I suppose.Broken,No matter how much I weld my steel selves;Back together.

Irises Peering Up; Between Slats Of Wood.

Irises Peering Up; Between Slats Of Wood.

Forgetting who we were,To become who we are now.Light pouring up,Out,From cracks in dry,Dusty floorboards.Pieces of old selves,Fingernails clawing from below.Can hear them.Haunted pasts,We cannot entomb well enough.Fingers down to bloody stumps.Irises peering up;Between slats of wood.

Teeth Closing On Your Neck.

Teeth Closing On Your Neck.

Starve me out.Lay siege upon my heart.Pressuring my debonair,Gracious facade.Bear baiting a World Serpent.This weight class comes,From both lethality,Plus stoicism -Tweaked for 21st century survival.Fortitude,As old.Cunning,Misdirecting with underestimations.Teeth closing on your neck.

The Pickup Truck Diaries: The Most Prolific Human Poet In History.

Seems grandiose, eh? This is one of the more modest, amongst the actual titles I was able to workshop, believe me! And I’d hope by now you’ve read at least one or two of these here Pickup Truck Diaries, so you are well aware already that I love being grandiose and mock-megalomaniacal for the sake...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

Can’t Help It.

Fine.Let me write you,A new opus.Each piece greater than the last,Or perhaps different -In some unique methodology.I've studied hundreds of others,Stealing what I will.Transforming fantasy,Into reality.Across a dozen mediums.I suffer,An Infinite Hunger.Can't help it.

Drown With Me.

Drowning in self,This torrent. Infinite depths of the Marianas,The far-flung reaches of Boote's Void. Living above the clouds.And beyond the stars. Sing me to sleep,Murmur my cryptid lullabies. Rip this human skin from my face,Let my soul shine through. 'Till you drown,Too.

The Forever Curse.

He who studies for years,Knows the framing of Socrates.The truths of Science.Is aware of the enormity of information -Yet left to devour.And still the hunger is infinite.An endless gluttony,Cursing themselves to eternal dosages,Of everlasting voraciousness.And yet -This divine suffering,Some...

“Good.”

Blame Mr. Rogers.Mr. Dressup.Probably the two reasons,Only ended up 75% monster.Kindness & empathy & compassion…Somehow taking root,In my heart of darkness!Broken monster.Not even good fodder -For the now-dead heroes to train on.Medical prescriptions,Concoctions,To keep me…"Good."

Unloved

I'm unloved,But it's not so bad.You can do a lot of thinking,With infinite silence. Build entire universes,Listen to a thousand songs.Weep where nobody will ever see you. At least with hatred,You can rise to meet it in anger.Defy it like the stars.Being alone is harder.

Cog in a Machine.

I loved them,Even when they hated me.How difficult a shift,How frustrating a sentiment.I have retired as a teacher,As judge,As witness.Now I must leave them,Even still.Forge towards utopia,With the crashing of one system,For another.I was a cog in a machine.No more.

This Legend I’m Still Building.

Love to Gamble,Especially with no stakes for me -But plenty for others.Dislike an old Texas Hold 'Em Stratagem:Big Stack Bullying.It's a mere mirror refraction,Of what Oligarchs do anyways.Whole point of a game in the first place,Is to train!To build one's mind,Plus the mind of others.Adding...

Secular Prayers.

Lay out your dead,So we may drink their power -One last time,Holding spirits close.Haloed tethers,Adrift beyond the reach of gravity.Other dimensions,Other ways of being.Perhaps I'll always keep hunting for them.Seeking to smash reality.Finally haul them home,To freedom.Secular prayers.

Red Giants.

Coiled across atmospheres, Faint shimmers against a moon. Where black scales reflect, Absorbing light. Infinite pull, Should the gravity crank to eleven. Alas! Your tiny star, Poor aging Sol. Goldilocks of Goldilocks. Mere four billion years, A red giant - Devouring you...

Grotesque Mockery.

I'm not a hero.Never said I was.Another false title.Those who refer to me as such,Are fools -Confirming,They know nothing about me.A villain.Fighting to save the world.What a grotesque mockery,Forced into it -All to prevent my own demise.Riding the edge,Between humanism,& misanthropy.

Hunter Gatherers.
