Took a day to immolate

4/13/2023 Sorry the last g(l) was unreadable on handhelds

Temporarily the urgency to document everything has been released

The Hania Rani was worth revisiting as was the ultra-secret rabbit hole — a relic of peak industrialization

Old Haunts

Mary received a double fortune the other day — The gorgeous exchange between W. McCrae and R.G Miga (Who lives in my current watershed) is well worth reading IMHO

Speaking of worth reading — Erik Davis’s Burning Shore provided today’s inspiration for NaPoWriMo

Always more than we bargained for --  Thanks to Erik Davis
Con/Jur/d, 4/13/2023

When we did many drugs often
they acted as embedded reminders
of how quickly everything can change
for the better and for the worse
(The Junky and The Addict are
often better at long term
commitments, than
the newly married)

Sure, sure outdated language
maybe its time to reclaim the labels
from the 12-step squares, the no -
saying, corporate sponsors?

We didn’t get to bargain, to self
identify, labels make it easier for
machines to categorize, to pull
us out, out, out of the unknowing
all-inclusive self, with all the drinks
food, entertainment we can handle
as long, as we stay defined and
definite -- I was a Robin yesterday
doing the ritual dance, a flurry of wings
and an empty road unusually hot
too early for Munsell purple Thistles
and then a couch potato, my skin
turning green producing, cytotoxins

revolutions of what it means to be human
happening everywhere --  for a moment
returned to the source, life-death unlabeled

it can change as fast as that, faster even
even without accelerators 
or catalysts to call our
attention to it.

Much love,
