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...

Stage Picture: \\ Waste Of My Eidetic Memory // Golden Moments

Stage Picture:Sitting on side of my pickup box,Perched on the plastic,Smoking a joint in my detested hometown.Truck parked -Yacht Club gravel parking lot.Can hear announcer,Cheers,Live band,At the bar a block down.Just me,My blunt,& crickets chirping.Golden Moments,Eh?Waste of my Eidetic Memory.

Subculture Roulette.

If you call yourself punk,Or any other such offshoot moniker,Of similar subcultures…Alt.Goth.You can never say,Such things are devoid of politics.Those that do -Are merely placing their ignorance,On display.These movements - like Punk,Were political from the start.With leftist agendas.

This Is How You Drink Power,

This is how you drink power, boiling essence from nature itself. Blow, wind. These currents fuel me. Rage, waters. Thy roaring sustains me. Peace comes in waves, broken by the sins & presence of man. Twenty percent. And of that number, even fewer know their stake. Trees, groan or sigh, that I...

Another Wisdom, From Your Baba.

Another wisdom,From your Baba:Evolve & adapt with the times.Much as Domovoy can take infinite forms,Playing many Metaphors?We must reweave ourselves,Even in such guise as this.A Witch,Must change with Seasons,Little One.I hide my reality warping,In poems,Where Fiction.Non Fiction.Blur.

Graphite Legacies.

Graphite legacies,Monsters in my head.Every charcoal demon,Given a name.Each monstrosity,Held,Or cherished.What a dangerous weapon,The mind.Especially one unburdened,By thoughts from others.Left to roam imagination,Drown in what could be.Suffocating,In ourselves.

An Infinite, Unfathomable Ocean. Filled With A Thousand Horrors.

Another winter.Waiting for destiny.When I want nothing more -Than to dominate fate.Wrenching timelines where I please.Absorbing at least enough power,To help them towards better tomorrows.I'll remain.An infinite,Unfathomable ocean.Filled with a thousand horrors.Naught but fangs,Or eyes.

Rainbow.

Like a demon;Incapable of forgiveness.First -Was pity.Next,Horror.Finally?Hot anger.There're only so many cruelties inflicted,Terrorism -Before I stop thinking they deserve to exist.My own kin!Yet,World'd be better off without them.Evil.Sociopathic.Stay away from me.Never again.

Sleep Is No Peace.

Keep hoping,That each sleep will bring me solace.As if every new dawn,Will give me new purpose.Or at least less of a reason to die.Eyes wide shut,Classic conundrum.Each drop of blood,Fuelling the next.Sleep is no peace.There are only nightmares.There is no solace.

An Artist’s Worth.

Never ask me what I'm worth.Capitalist finance,Cannot quantify my skillsets.Refuse to let it count me,As divisions of my raw wealth.As if wealth dictates anything,About a person.Perhaps maybe privilege,One's amount of such.A defining factor.My worth,Is my capacity,Towards my goals.

Off The Corpse Of Theia. // But We Were Born To Lose.

Past Midnight.Witching Hours.When our masks come off,Skin & muscle pulled,Then torn away.Becoming our true Cryptid selves,Basking in moonlight;So hungry for the Sun,That we drink mere reflections -Off the Corpse of Theia.Tears,Memories,Ghosts,All.Not a single one of my spells -Can defeat...

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.

Totems Yet To Be Earned. \\ Goodnight Void #99

Goodnight,Void.One day I'll earn this World Serpent.Ink in my skin.Black injections into my flesh.Pain paling in comparison,To ones from my histories.Symbolisms,Drawn half a decade ago.Infinity,Symbolizing a beginning.Infinite beginnings,Seems apt,No?My time is short,Eh void,My love?

This Is Your Life.

You.Yes.You.You're not responsible for your trauma.Those shitty parents of yours,These broken capitalist systems -We're forced to live within,As modern wage slavery.It's not your fault.What's broken -Can be fixed.Fuck the tragedy;You are resilient.Fuck everybody else;This is your life.

Meat Shield!

Games As Escape;Yet this Game Theory persists.Knowing who will push,Who might shove,Those who would murder me & my kin.My blood is used to the floor,Splattered -Dripping across concrete.Yet,My husk can make more blood,When you spill it.Stand when you shove.Rise when I fall.Meat Shield!
