🚴💨 Oh, the spiritual odyssey of a pedicab driver who swapped his seven-geared tuxedo ride for a red Quadracycle dune buggy 🚗💃—because spiritual growth is best measured in gear shifts and questionable fashion choices. Apparently, #enlightenment is just a pedicab ride away... or maybe it's just a midlife crisis in a cycling short disguise. 🧘‍♂️🚴‍♂️✨

Me: Screw it, I'm going to grow on disgracefully, I'm going to get a septum piercing!
Me: Watches videos of people getting their septum pierced.
Me: Why does being "alt" have to involve pain!

🐦🤖 Ah, "Neural Boids," because what the world really needed was a deep dive into AI-driven #flocks of pixels. Cam Pedersen heroically tackles the existential crisis of digital noids, proving once and for all that even computers can have a midlife crisis. 🙄🚀

New at Last Grotto: "Sad" by Jacob Friesenhahn

A spare, devastating dialogue that circles around a paradox: the speaker is content with their quiet routines (morning walks, coffee, watching the news) yet mourns the loss of desire for what once felt vital—bars, beaches, the freedom to "fuck up" without consequence.

Then why are you sad?
I'm sad
because I don't feel like it.

The poem captures something often unspoken: the grief of no longer wanting a life that once felt electric, the strange melancholy of growing into contentment. A dialogue between logic and memory that never resolves.

First publication at the Last Grotto. From Jacob Friesenhahn, author of The Prayer of the Mantis (Kelsay Books, 2025).
