as a matter of fax the fax machine is obsolete

as are landlines modems and landfills

the fax that factses are still used on the strete

is as ridiculous as handbills

but we need mo dems

and less (fewer) reprehensible repugs

and less (fewer) usses and more thems

less bullets from guns more flowerings on stems

more-er numerous features

fewer featureless bugs

more stoneless gems

no punches nor slugs

and we need kindness

less absent-of-minded willful blindness

axes that are grindless

and a banishment of notions of ugly mugs

and promotional love-potional eye-of-beholder

o p h t h a l m o l o g y

to put the Psyche in Psychology

to stamp Peace On Earth on the last page

of the obsolete non-digital

f o l d e r

..

p s less rage

right about now the executioner/is flexing his axe-wielding arms/because the cruel crowd thrust thumbs in condemnation/of the unlucky sap whose job title is Entertainer/and must now be entertaining with his amazing flying head

rite here, the bloodletting/the catharsis the appeasement/the conversion of unspeakable to a circus act

right you are and wright i am/brightness is as part of me as my middle name/a gift from my grandmother caroline/who succumbed to kidney failure four years before my birth

and here we are/in our wretched glory/and I with a this minute two-day stubble/feeling it’s time to slice that legion/wielding a tri-bladed bic

something bothers us/and a shave will help me/and 250 milliliters of clean clear cool water will help you/and here’s to our betterment

you are what you eat/but you also are what you want/and that is why your feed/is different from mine/and your reality/is algorithmically partnered/with what you seek

if you stopped using your handy phone/to find out about stuff/you would find yourself starving/craving/and going through ego-reinforcement withdrawal

but there is a weird way to turn this to your advantage

start seeking wonder and betterment/seek thought-provoke and challenge/seek compassion/seek utopia

–hey wait; you HAVE been doing that, consciously or not!

and that is what brought you…here!

you are welcome!

Mr. Joe Blow acts inappropriately. Those who know and love him shrug. “Oh, well–that’s just Joe being Joe.”

Sometimes we self-fulfill expectations by cutting extra slack for friends with failings. But my dear deceased friend Karen had a better head on her shoulders. When alcohol consumption had a negative impact on her musicales, she laid down the law: No More Booze. And she made it stick. And it was for the better.

We are not stuck with who we are. Not only might we reinvent ourselves, we might build ourselves. What can I do to make things better? is one of the most important things to ask.

Wiggle in the eyedropper, euglena
Wait until ready for the multicell arena

Howl unto the moon–to madness cater
Have your way outlandishly, O Satyr

OR: lustrously become a nurse
Of this wounded Universe
