Internal monologue

Love the world you make for yourself. Construct it with materials you value and stock it with your amusements; furnish it with your comforts and outfit it with the functions of innovations for your future. Here, you watch ideas form into action, ignite and carry consequence, the effects causing response which results in construction or … Continue reading »

Stories or ideals shape expectations on how reality should play out, often making us less impressed or surprised depending on our outlook. Should we ignore this artifice? Or embrace it as a more interesting alternative to living? Familiarity stakes its place uninvited. Remind yourself to acknowledge the expected.

Inside : Among others

Inside : Among others

Inside We will laugh about this someday, ravaging cabinets in pursuit of purposeful progress, wound up and marooned but accustomed to it. Waiting needs to find something to replace the time with, to occupy the space so you don’t notice the absence, but dynamic enough to mimic the capricious existence that led up to this … Continue reading »

We will kill the root when we find other designs for the plot, but until then, it fills the space decoratively, which is more … Continue reading »

The time between

The time between

Will we remember the waiting after relief comes, or will this, like most uneventful interludes, recede between memorable moments into a loss of time? Success is determined by what you choose to focus your efforts on and the audience that admires that selection.  Appreciate the reciprocity as a guiding and motivating factor of life, But … Continue reading »

Envy in Repose

Envy in Repose

To reckon all that we think is novel as not, I offer this symposium: To all the hopeful fellows on concrete blocks, To all the widows wondering when the next will knock, On their windows at night, To scare them out of their knickers, To all the kids hanging on the highest bar their friends … Continue reading »
