I predict that polymarket prediction markets will take over gas station scratch off lottery sales, and overshadow conventional sports betting, in no less than 4 years polymarket prediction markets will heist on average $1.5billion dollars from middle class people looking for a new easy win, and unlike tossing your money away on the lottery where ticket sales go to the state, polymarket prediction market funds go to enrich the wealthy a little more every time you lose big;

Perspective, or: Perception

A Sijo

Reena’s Xploration Challenge 431

For Reena’s RXC prompt, she invites us to compose ‘age-ing’-themed poems.

Sijo?

A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

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.

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!

So Project Rotting Corpse, is poised to begin rollout of Bio Recycle Engineering's new sentient roadkill cleanup bots, they will traverse the streets of America sucking up the decaying roadkill finely grind it and disperse it across green spaces as natural fertilizer, and considering these bots can with ease scoop up a bison and disperse it as fertilizer, one can only imagine that the occasional pedestrian or someone's grandma who fell down in the parking lot will meet the same fate, really brings no sense of urgency to such useless tech, yet with animals dying at alarming rates all across the country and no one to clean them off the streets, local governments are eager to try this out despite the fact it could be them that accidently becomes natural fertilizer that gets dispersed all across the city park, residents in many towns are speaking out in confused fits of fear that Bio Recycle Engineering claims is manufactured hysteria;

Diamonds Of Eternal Stars

The lonely traveler of everywhere
wonders if his search for Rome will reveal
foundations of truth built on bones of gods
who still walk the streets in bodies of people
because the Tiber still flows in their veins
