They accuse me of
Not thinking outside the box.
…But it’s inside out.
Psychology
Dream Log 6
Seafaring culture.
Don’t sleep below deck at night.
THEY pulled gods under.
Dream Log 5
Meteor impact.
That was close… Ooo! Cold iron!
SHIT! BACK IN THE HOUSE!
Dream Log 3
Bits of cutlery.
Enough for two forks, one spoon,
Came out of my mouth.
Dream Log 2
School lunch with the dead.
Reminiscing with Ryan.
… (sniff) … Awesome buddy.
Fear Itself
“Keep the Muslims out!”
“Only proven Christians in!”
How terror recruits.
“Terrorists? Panic!”
Cowardly or complicit?
Not much difference.
A religious test?
If it’s not for presidents,
Why for refugees?
Game Chat Bigotry Rationalized
In escapist game,
Troll Stanley screamed, “I’m not real!
No escape for you!”
“Just random people!”
Random Bigotry: Not fun.
We’re here to have fun.
“They’re just random trolls!”
But “random” is the problem:
Uncertain: Not safe.
Sticks and stones are real.
But pens overwhelm the sword:
Death by thousand cuts.
“Participant”
I hid my trophy.
Inched it into my closet…
Like everyone else.
The kid is ashamed.
But parents are mollified.
Mission accomplished.
Their shame on display,
Children spare parents’ feelings.
Insecure grown-ups.
Expensive Mistake
Cracked my laptop screen.
(Made the bed, tipped TV tray.)
…Excuse to upgrade!
Earlier problem:
Temporal Resolution.
(I needed more frames.)
