i’ve never quite understood the seriousness that most people inhabit at work. it is as if through their morning ritual they are imbued with this somber weight that must be carried through the long arduous hours. and by the simple act of tucking in a shirt they are bound to some agreement whereby you may…

in the data overture the world is drowned in opinions, a great flood of upvotes, likes, all the quarks hijacked for this currency of hubris. feed the ego with this thought, this image, this string of characters, give quantity to your quality, the binary gremlins know, they know your beauty and your genius, how great…

the door, barely ajar, creaks open and light is spilled from a yellow geometry and she emerges to perch on the corner of the bed like some gargoyle of whisker and grace to keep back the spirits from our slumber. she climbs in the window and delicately traverses the mountains of our materialism to hunt…

in the waning hours split between infinity and indifference i wish for anything but reflective boredom, in boredom i am afraid of all the things i could have been, all the futures traded for a handshake at midnight, what unsown greatness slung wet and wasted into laundry baskets and trash bins and sink basins so…

the dog sleeps curled up on the couch and dreams of waking up like me, dim light carries information in little smoky waves, glasses and bottles and cups in various stages sprout like fungi from the tables, the shelves, unpacked boxes, anything with a suitable surface, loose change everywhere, the music pauses and considers the…
