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...

Afraid To Love.

I'm afraid to love.Sure of the hurt that will come,Certain of the loneliness that persists.Trying to heal what is broken,After it has been shattered across the floor,However many times before.Such love is deep,Echoing the infinite depths like whalesong.Yet fragile,Still.

World Spell.

Conjuring black holes.Condensed matter -Pulling with gravity of a thousand stars.Last vestiges of the universe.Witchcraft,At the scale of galaxies.Enormous workings,Immense weavings.Each sacred scripture -Every waking poem.Serving as spiderweb foundations.World spell.

Too Slow, Old Man.

Too slow,Old man.Gotta keep up.Come on,Keep up.It's lonely at many tops.Min-maxing ourselves towards perfection,Ever so slow.Keep losing myself.Becoming someone else.Can't count how often,Too busy building something new.Playing with concepts,Like soft clay.Looking forward.Never back.

She.

She moves forwards into his arms, craving attention, craving his love.Craving justification for existence.He laughs, cruelly.Steps back, and she falls.She falls through the ground and through the sky and through the feelings she has for him.He cackles now, takes a long deep drag from his...

True Self Up There.

Can you see me?My single form.Of fat, muscle, bone, sinew.Beyond the naked eye,My aura stretches.Only clue to mortals -The Uncanny Valley Effect.Fear of me coming suddenly,With Uncomfortable Discomfort.Why did you need to evolve,Such a defence mechanism,Little Humans?Masking Mimic.Played that role...

Cerebral Combat.

Cerebral combat,Is always thrilling.I love those,That keep me on my toes -With wit,Humor,Intellect.Bring on the challengers!See me?Manic grin.Ready to strive beyond expectation.Haul out potential!Be it fisticuffs,Or games,I will always play -For a thrill,Or more.

Where Are My Rivals?

Oh…Where are my rivals?Competition?Wrote 3000 Poems,In Five Years.Half a World Record.Most Prolific In History?Are you telling me - nobody living,Can even come close?Doomed to work like this in isolation,'Till Death?Waiting for a real challenge,Muse,Or competition.Where are they?

Rest Gawk.

Full Cafes,Close To Closing.Holding Soliloquy With Myselves.Bickering Masses;THEY KNOW!You're not greatest.Never will be.You're shooting quantity,Tangible countable things.So what if I drop two hundred,In a day?Only those following,Would know Sisyphus in my efforts.Rest Gawk.Norm. F-

Pests.

At least I have tools,Plus knowledge,This time.When the rodents or pests scurry forth -From their hiding holes,To beg me for scraps.Even after being guilty,Of mistreating me!Fuck off.Go away.You lecherous fucks!I've had enough in this fucking lifetime -Of being used & abused,By leeches.

Forget Who I Was.

Forget who I was.Not that person anymore.Not even the same spirit as yesterday.Gratuitous evolution,Withering,Waning,Then Waxing again.Plump & vicious,Tooth & maw.A hunger drives me onwards,You could never hope to sate.Nobody ever could.Leaving echoes of my selves.

Cold Iron.

Thy nature is entropic,Bending the wisps of nearby souls.Pulling them as magnetism pulls iron.Cold iron is poison to us.We must dilute it into steel.To kill a Jotnar,Of my size.One would need railgun slugs,Of cold iron.Cold hammered into shape.Heated to settle.Straight through my skull,From a...

Dead Ringer For A Sinner.

Dead ringer for a sinner, you say? Shall I pray? Drink paint thinner at dawn? Wait to die like the three-pace count of a duel drawn? I chuckle at your inevitability even as my knees buckle under me. I’ll die unholy, yet free. Perhaps an amalgamation of sins is in order, or shall we scavenge dinner...

APES.

Will we learn from this past three years?Growing to understand the power,In numbers.More of us.Than them.Perhaps after this great change,Instead of uniting,We work as individual movements,Towards similar goals.One movement,Can be sabotaged.Thousands?…They have no hope of stopping us.

As It Dried.

This wisdom,Was seldom gifted.Rather earned mostly,In suffering.Painting knowledge;With my spilled blood.Drawing runes or symbols,As it dried.Do not bother me,With trifles.As with most gurus,Perched upon mountaintops -Only entertain depth.Width.Scopes & scales of enormous proportions.

Fighting Dirty.

"They screamed,& screamed.Terrified by the coming,Of a World Serpent.Infinite,Forever,Endless.No beginning or end,To contain it.'By the time I am done with this species,Villains like me,Will have done more for my brothers,& sisters,Than the heroes ever did.'New eras,Of darkest hope."
