listless
less list, insomniatic fluids cuddling cognition, skipping and flipping back between familiar channels of regret, dismay, worry, love, lack, loneliness, rewatching shows I’ve memorized by heart, muttering along with every one-liner and theme song, comfortable in repeating what I know and, from boil to burn, embering, sizzling, settling into hours of eventless transfer of energy chemical to...

visibility
gin and tonic on the counter at hand, there is something visibly strangely strangling your nature as you look in the mirror. well, maybe that’s a lie, in the sense that your nature isn’t really your nature, it is a reflection, a bouncing of light on reflected surfaces that hit your eyes and sidewind up to your brain whereupon, flipped and adjusted and steeped in context and memory and...

Waking Life
Hey.
Hey.
You a dreamer?
Yeah.
Haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming's dead, that no one does it anymore. It's not dead, it's just been forgotten. Removed from our language. No one teaches it so no one knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced. Ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.
