Surrealist Madness.

Surrealist Madness.

More insane dreams.But at least I managed not to die,Last night.Even if semi truck road trip work,With my old man,Quickly devolved into dimension shifting,Surrealist madness,A la gang wars.Might not be able to use -My lucidity trigger mantra.But at least my obstinance,Toughness,Remains.

Our Wrath, Legendary.

Our Wrath, Legendary.

Our Wrath,Legendary.Trying desperately not to succumb to evil -Perpetuate the cycles of abuse,Like our kin.Breaking free from darkness,That lingers in our hearts.We know exactly how to hurt you.How to rip your heart in two,Reduce you to tears,With just words.How wretched.Such dark fury.

Maybe you're right,Elder.When long term plans are real -You warned me to hide.Assured me evil oligarchs,Who rule this world,Will kill me.Make me disappear,For trying to help my species -In defiance of their controls.I swear:I'll never kill myself.So if they do?Seek vengeance.Avenge me.

Calling Us Egotistical.

Calling Us Egotistical.

We're fucking tired.Fatigued with a world,Basking,Revelling in arrogance & stupidity.We always know what to do.Problem solvers to our last.Frustration builds with their doubt.Calling us egotistical.NO YOU FUCKING IDIOTS;We're confident in what we know.Seeing futures,In patterns of data.

Knowledge Pool.

Knowledge Pool.

He warned them:Told them what'd happen -With power of pattern recognition,Knowledge pool,Foresight.They ignored him.Petty little minds,Ignorant,Arrogant.They always are.Stupid middling masses.So now you watch,As the government sets fires.As their homes you tried to save,Burn to the ground.

The Ignorant, Arrogant, Selfish Masses.

You told me:Why help those,Who refuse to listen to us?Told me Humanity doesn't deserve our gifts.Heavy black steel shackles,Our myriad double-edged axes.You seek hermitage,In the wilds.Understand such sentiments.But there're sparse few;Self aware.Intelligent.They still deserve our hope.

Fire & Flame.

Fire & Flame.

Fire & Flame,Are just physics instances,To be tamed.Plasma or explosion;Driving pistons in our engines,Both gasoline,Kerosene,Or diesel.Science gave us dominion,Over the natural.Yet only the clever amongst us,Use it sustainably,Methodically,Intelligently.Funnily,Loggers most of all.

Surpass Shakespeare.

Surpass Shakespeare.

Creeping towards an upgrade,Upon a podium nobody gives a shit about.Not that I care what others ever think.Trying my best to work in isolation;As ever. - I'll accomplish my goal.Surpass Shakespeare.To crickets,As usual. - Bradburne next on my hit list,Of dead poets.No "society" needed.

Weird & All. \\ Fuck This Method Acting.

The Pickup Truck Diaries: “The Second Most Prolific Poet In History” & Goal Setting.

Let’s start this edition of The Pickup Truck Diaries with a rhetorical question: “How does one go about achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves?” I’ll give you a few minutes to pause and think about that. Most folks have already started churning their brains into realistic “brass tacks”...

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,...

McRae’s MTG Corner: The Rainbow Bible. (AKA The Rukarumel “Gay Pirates!” Tribal Tribal CEDH Primer.)

WARNING: This piece clocks in at 62,000+ words. It currently holds the record for longest "CEDH Primer" ever written. (Although it's more like a textbook or resource guide to Tribal Archetypes, and Rainbow/5c Magic, really.) It is over half the size of my sci fi books. Please remember to drink...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Tempo For Dummies (Especially For Commander.)

Aight, we back yet again. Somehow in my long years of being an L1 Judge and Modern and EDH player, I had never realized that learning tempo in Magic The Gathering is a rather visceral experience, in that you learn experientially. For the layman, that means that you have to learn that deep sense of...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Siloing CEDH & EDH

Ew, I got CEDH in my EDH… Today we’re here to talk about power levels in the casual commander format, as well as how to encourage better CEDH & EDH play by more carefully separating the two formats despite their strange interwoven nature. As a “retired” L1 Judge for Magic: The Gathering, I’m...

Meat and Bone.

Beware of cryptids with pretty poetry that are not trying to seduce you, but are rather on the ace spectrum and merely see you as piles of walking meat and bone.

UGLY!

Fat bloated old fool.Purple-White stretch marks,Across most of a body.Missing half of one eyebrow,An easily dimpled white scar.Bad crashes here.Battle wounds there.Scars aplenty.Balding!Patchy beard,Every color.What muscles remain -Lay hidden beneath lipid rolls.Ugly!Yet.I remain.

Saving You From Yourselves.

Nay,Think of the worst things,Your most terrifying nightmares.Worse than that.I've been cursed,A thousand times.Across lifetimes,And millennia.An ephemeral thing,In that the darkest evils,Are rarely concerned -With the plights of most mortals.Comprehension -Of most cryptids,Drives mortals mad.It...

Scribbling Secrets.

Nay,I shall persist.For as long as I am able.Scribbling secrets,In hopes that future generations,Might find them.Using such wisdoms,To fast track educations -Or unlock all of our human failures,As examples of what not to repeat.There is method,To this madness.Even if most cannot see it.

Destructo Disk.

Racing towards my singularity,At speed of technology exponentials.Fomenting progress,In the palm of my hand -Like a Destructo Disk,Or Final Flash.Whipping it baseball style,Unlike progenitors.Forearm flicks,Of Ultimate.Hammer throws,Of Track & Field.Can do anything.Just need time.Want.

Anarchist Heart.

Hell,Don't listen to an old coot like me.I'd wipe my ass with these degrees,For my vehemence at institutions.My disgust for the establishment.Anarchist heart,Will never die.Punk will ride until the very end,As decreed by those before me.But listen to the scientists,Philosophers,Artists.Once,I was...

Arcanum.

Etchings in a spellbook,As if an eidetic memory -Hasn't filed certain key information away,To be whispered as a curse,Or murmured as a blessing.Trickster's choice.I conjure greater spirits than I,To do my bidding.And I am already very powerful,Indeed.

Less, More.

Cackle for a madman,Wrote a dozen lifetimes ago.Several selves,Left bleeding out at the guillotine.Hanging from gallows.Been a long time,Through madness,Enlightenment.Void at the edge of psyche.I'm a changed creature.Less gender.Less madness.More god.More living.

Hallowed Gorging.

I devoured your gods,Many moons ago.Abrahamic,Pantheon.It mattered not.I consumed the faith,Of their believers.Endless feasts!Stitched together their skins,To change my form at will.Voraciousness,Measured in divinities.Hallowed gorging,One deity at a time.Sit.Eat.

Protege and Pupil.

When this climate apocalypse takes us,I will save as many as I can.Protege and pupil,Friend and foe.I learned to survive in the wilds,Walking with many folks,Of all walks of life.Learned systems of oppression -Sworn to dismantle them.Create anarchist utopia.Ecosocialist oaths.The last of men with...

Potato With A Beard.

Sorry,But even a potato with a beard,Like me -Can appreciate a sharp-witted woman.Clever proddings,Evoking laughter.I want someone,Something,To push me towards greatness.Pull out all the good that's left,In husks like me.Clever girls,Are worth more than gold.As priceless as immortality.

Better Than Buddha.

Fat.Making Buddha look small,In some depictions,By comparison.Mass.Density.Volume.Displacing the universe around me.Distortions of spacetime.Reality anchors failing.One human body.Just one.Can hold a lot of power.Endless potentials,Of brain or body.I must be better,Than Buddha.

Spooking The Elderly.

Playing by rules;Most others don't understand.Queer habits -In myriad meaning.Part of the punk within me -Loves spooking the elderly,With painted black nails.But I'm sure most queer youth could figure out,Why I loved wearing foam flip flops;Professionalism be damned.A disarming tactic:Using an...
