She’d be 45 Across.

Oh, that The Damned.

The anus as dick dock.

TAO YI OR NOT TAO YI

Still smells like you.

So Far Unfelled, but the Day is Young

I figured I’d find you at home
I’ve been meaning to tell you
Your ass is being multitasked against
Nature a shifty motherfucker
Waacking like a crazy doomsday clock
Don’t matter your fucking identity
Or how many disciplines or platforms you work across
Or how expansive your amenity set is
Don’t matter how many billion other callers be waiting
The next available bot is breathlessly eager 
To select against you
A pure product
For which Nature takes
No responsibility and assumes no liability.

Let Me Know If You Have Any Questions

I’d seen it out by the charging stations
Just sitting there
Then after a couple more days
I think well OK
I’m Buddhist and I know my shit
Nobody owns this bale of hay
Nobody owns any bale of hay
It’s how the bale of hay is used
So I go and I load it in my truck
And take it where it’s needed
Let me know if you have any questions.

Rose Fresh Squeezed

Aardvaaaaark to zeeeeeebruh
We’ve already seen the glazed dik-diks
Like pastries playing disc golf at Elephant Valley
Gray winged trumpeter doubles on foot drums
Spider monkey vaping
Wasp on caterpillar
Snake on snake
A private school of moo cow penguins
In a stand of transmitter trees
Omar Khayam the cat rolling in dirt
Squirrels playing volleyball
Squirrels playing horseshoes
Drone the size of a hummingbird
Hermit Crabbe at the barre
Peccaries in pairs closer than the hairs
Of their chinny chin chins
The sloth smiled at 25 percent playback speed
Three toes up
And Rose ate the spoonbill
So tender you could cut it 
With a growing body of research suggesting
All things can be true at once
And every resemblance is purely coincidental
Well, hopefully.

Also Spake Spinmeisterthustra

Light the rain, heavy the untreated runoff
Life threatens to reoffend
This is harm’s way, and you are in it
A thousand critical findings, a thousand different locations.

But scan the code and you’ll discover
Nothing is too junior of a thing
No idee is too fixe
When it comes to your sensory symptoms.

No cut-rate valu-pak AI reference images will suffice
You want those patented European secrets
You want integrated clean no touch disposal 
You want something authentic, rugged, and based.

You want the money you spent to show
So let our timeless treasures team guide you
You’ll be landing switch 180 nosegrinds
In no time, he adds with a laugh.

Memory Tab

She seemed pretty together
Mindful and elevated
Highly sought after 
In the shred community 
Killing it crazier than ever
Artisanal ice in her veins

I remember being like OK
I think some people thought
I think
Many people
Thought
She was like

You know how
We always for some reason
Exactly
You just literally like
But I mean
I don’t know

It was so fun
And then
She just disappeared
I kind of wonder
Yeah yeah
Plus like you said.

Nugs


THE BIBLE TELLS US

Shit’s real bro.


BOOM YEAR FOR EXISTENTIAL REFLECTION

They were running man coverage and I said hey
I’m not just here to color commentate 
Shower me in Gatorade and call me coach.


CODE NAME: SWAMI

Rocking a certified autonomous vehicle repair tech badge.


THERE’S A SCENE IN THE THIRD SEASON

Cyber truck with Mars expedition roof rack
Hitched to the charging station
Turns back into a pumpkin
At multi-gig speed.


AS SHAKESPEARE SAID

Keep the line moving.


IF ONLY I COULD FLY

She said she’d pray for me.
I texted her back:
Thank you.


FAIYA

I loved her breakup posts.


THE FAUXEST OF PAS

I rushed
To stop
Her but
She left.


THE OTHER THING I’M THINKING TOO IS

I think she ended it well.
