Like fucking Human Beings.

Like fucking Human Beings.

Drive-Thru Lady told me I was nice.Lady;You have no idea the abuses I've suffered.There's obvious reasons,I treat service staff -Like fucking Human Beings.Been one myself many times.There's a reason I always tip 15% -When prompted.I hold more solidarity with them,Than any executive.

Until bittersweet one liners – Guillotine.

Tears;Disgusting snorts.Our fragile selves.Dead Selves we sometimes cradle,Regret for deaths ensued.Cannot revive the dead.Only the living.Such is circles of things.I'm not dead yet.Try as life might,To kill me.Want to drag out my inevitable end,Until bittersweet one liners -Guillotine.

Forget everything you knew. Again.

Forget everything you knew. Again.

Forget everything you knew.Again.Forget everything you knew.Again.Pause.Wait out the frozen time for perhaps,A year at most.Forget everything you knew.Again.I'm not who I was.You're not who you were.Different fates,Timelines crossing paths,Only to break effortlessly more.Pause.Again.

One. Purple. Eight. Symphony.

One. Purple. Eight. Symphony.

Sitting in darkness,Learning lessons as we always do,Until we die.Sometimes same ones ad nauseam,Until we go mad.'Til we fracture.Break apart at our seams.Headphones fall out of the touque,She knit me.Loose & ragged.Intended as a blue sailor's beanie.Turned slouch,Perfect for bald.Going out...

Ones we wept over, As we broke their necks.

Ones we wept over, As we broke their necks.

Remain with me a moment,Old Lady.No.Gotta go.No time for dead selves -When I became nameless.Old scars remain,From old bodies.Old Selves.Ones we wept over,As we broke their necks.Metaphor remains a deadly weapon,But a rather feeble shield.But meat & bone needs no shield.It cannot last.

“Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke.”

Always does.They thought divine rights of kings,Were unassailable in thy time.Mere hundred plus years,Came French Revolution Guillotines.Swore myself to Pacifism,Bard.Knowing far too much of violence.But I see the utilities of a guillotine,In defending against fascists,Like Musk or Trump.

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...

Blessed By Chaos & Madness.

Your proffered peace of mind,Is an illusion.One I see through.Merely the numbing agents of modernity.Chaos & madness blessed me.Enlightenment.Briefest glimpse into infinity.Billion hurting hearts.You cannot stop this hurt.White scars.These wounds are deep.Nobody can.

Shoving itself down my throat.

More celebrities.More voices to drown out the quiet,With massive audiences,To control Zeitgeist. Been fighting the mainstream,My whole life.But no matter where I go -It doggedly chases me,Shoving itself down my throat. Subculture dreaming.Alternative Existences.Don't want "normal."Ever.

Promise me you’ll lay flowers,

Promise me you'll lay flowers,Upon my grave,Eh?Always hid starting tears -When given flowers.People like me,Weren't allowed beauty -Outside of social pageantry.("Hick!")My gardens were my loves,Smelling the nasturtiums,Watching bees upon my chives,& yellow tomato flowers.Promise me?

No Survivors.

These hollow eyes.This dark-circled stare.My boundaries were broken.Through with being lied to.Blocking a dying man,Much less thy sibling.Mourning a person,Who in their flailing -Is still headed for death.Is our kind destined to die?Destroy ourselves,Until nothing is left.No survivors.

Naught but hyperboles,

Abandoning One Kind Of Magic, For Another.On Whim,Boredom Or Fancies.Eyes Closed.Recalling pictures from histories.But everything read tells me it shouldn't exist.No quantitative data.Naught but hyperboles,Unreplicable by Science -Empirical Method Testing.Infuriating.Seemingly Impossible.

Weaving New Curses Into My Bones.

This grief,Hangs heavy.Swelling my aura so quickly,My Blood Curse cannot drink it all.Being powerless,Most enraging thing in existence.Conversion via witchcraft -To cold fury,Enough to power a billion lightbulbs.Weaving new curses into my bones -Until I am whole.

Oaths.

How can you miss someone,Who isn't even gone yet?Changing relationships,Reflections on what we've lost.You have my heart.Always did.Swore a blood oath to you.Please,Don't forget me,Hate me,Scorn me,Like the rest.Only ever wanted to love you,In all the ways I could.

FUCKING! APES!

This Reality?My tomb.Beyond My Rendezvous -When I'm ghosts & ashes.Write these thousands of poems,For my fucking self.Trapped here,Amidst seas of stupidity.We were supposed to be sentient.Most Humans barely qualify.Ready to slip the knife,Gently between our cousin's ribs.Fucking!Apes!

Midnight Poems.

Midnight poems,For decades.Weeping essences,Shadows & darkness -Seeping from every pore.Know I cannot love,Properly.As distant as I am from my fellow man.Lost in orbit,Silent Observer.Cryptid.The oldest wisdom.Calling across entropy itself,Saying goodnight,To the void,Most midnights.

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.

Legend Has It.

The fate of World Serpents,Is to herald the end of the world.To summon apocalypse,To kill every last living soul.Legend has it,They molt beneath the oceans,Twixt whale-fall and reef.Lured only by ox-heads,And the challenge of combat.Teeth lockjawed upon their tails.

“Unready To Wear.”

Gorge upon my flesh.Heaven knows I have enough,To spare.Grotesque truths,Bubbling in metaphysical cauldrons,Pounds to spare.Nothing is cheaper than free,Even if we still hunger -For our pound of flesh.Even if we haggard myriad,Fail to coalesce.Eschewing form entirely,Would be preferable.

The Pickup Truck Diaries: Honor, Ethics, & Morals.

This new millennium sucks a whole bag of dicks. Maybe it’s me. I don’t remember my childhood fondly for many reasons, between being assessed into the ground by the system to no avail, or in running through the same cyclical patterns of trauma against my will or even my awareness or knowledge....

Evil Will Fight Evil.

A cold wind blows,Chilling the heart.Legacies of blood,Seeking freedom from doomed existences.I promise -Evil will fight evil.If I am damned,Let it be for justice.If I am forsaken,Infamous.Let it be for good.Fuck cowardly tyrants,Afraid to sit across a table and talk.

Dance, Little Brainwaves!

Dance,Little Brainwaves!Find patterns as one finds their way in the woods.Moss hates sunlight,Make lots of noise.Add to the complexity,Spiral in mere atoms amongst the void,Supernovae cerebellums.Blink twice in fractals,Dissolving into sand.A chance to stretch my wings.
