One leg stand , or: A rengay

A two-person ‘Rengay’

By Svenja and David

db-sources piled sky-high—
every claim double-checked twice
to seal every seam
sk-      all thoughts and facts and numbers
      the head’s pounding, but the heart
db-behind the static
this sharp unease hovers still
not all fits in place
sk-a tickling, nickling
until the chest gets too small
no – no way to breathe
db-      a chair balanced on one leg
      it stands, though it should topple
sk-not strength rules our life
a breath to the left or right
holds on to the seam

Rengay?

Rengay is a form of linked verse created as an alternative to Japanese renga or renku. The form was devised by Garry Gay in California in 1992. A rengay consists of six thematic haiku verses and is normally composed by two or three poets, although solo and six-person rengay are not uncommon.

This form actually requires a bit of explanation, so I recommend that you read about it HERE.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

🚀 Oh, the horror of data infrastructure! 🤔 After a decade in the trenches, our hero discovers—ahem, drumroll please—that programming is...complicated. 🎻 Who knew? Apparently, it takes a lifetime at tech giants to realize systems can be *gasp* fragile! 🎉 Bravo, Captain Obvious.

Composition Shouldn't be this Hard — Cambra

Fragmented systems are brittle. Coherent systems are special-purpose. We need a new, general-purpose model so we can build coherent, multi-domain applications.

鏡を覗き込めば そこに真実が映る 若者の脆さを嘆く その口元を歪めているのは誰か 良かれと思って築いた 高く分厚い防壁 それは慈しみではなく 成長を奪う静かなる牙だ 世界はメルヘンの挿絵ではない 時に惨く 時に醜い面をさらけ出す その荒野を歩むための 心の筋肉を 汝らは 規制とい

鏡を覗き込めば そこに真実が映る 若者の脆さを嘆く その口元を歪めているのは誰か 良かれと思って築いた 高く分厚い防壁 それは慈しみではなく 成長を奪う静かなる牙だ 世界はメルヘンの挿絵ではない 時に惨く 時に醜い面をさらけ出す その荒野を歩むための 心の筋肉を 汝らは 規制という名のメスで削ぎ落とした 毒を知らぬ体に 抗体は宿らない 痛みを知らぬ心に 耐性は育たない 隔離された温室で 無菌状態に育てられた蕾が 外の世界の風に 一瞬で萎れてしまうのは必然だ 可哀想だからと 叱る手を下ろし 責任が重いからと 他人の子から目を逸らす その優しさは 育児放棄という名の無関心 その沈黙は

note(ノート)

Dear Friends of Lucid dreaming,

As you may know:

1) The subconscious is a mine of information, that can be tapped into

2) Never believe what you see, hear or think. Unless it is true. Are you discerning though? As much as you think?

3) All bubble thinking is fragile, inflated and ultimately breaks or pops.

In other words the path to self improvement is a great start for the mentally feeble but rarely taken by the rigid and certain. Am I sure? No. Never.
