The objective was clear
The end stage near
The scraping by
The inciting of fear
Higher objectives abandoned
Every day a new sorrow
The stacking of threats
Simply survive to tomorrow
In a fight to survive
No altruism is bred
A perpetual slide
Until all Hope is dead
A time of change
A time of endings
A time of toil
And new beginnings
What’s been finished
Now back in play
Energies expended
Investment washed away
Plans once conceived
But never fulfilled
Dreams at belay
Ambitions killed
A time for reflection
A time to adjust
Change the dynamic
It’s all or bust
One final push
In a time of decline
Rally or languish
Challenge of a lifetime

#Today, 4 days until my first Mastoversary
A hundred bits o’ #BadPoetry
The alt-history of #JohnMastodon
and his Neo-Lithic backstory at the dawn of the #AnthropoScene
Was it the lure of the #PacificTreeOctopus
Or the fun of #MinCup23
That drew me to post
a #ThickTrunkTuesday tree?
I never dipped but a toe
Into the Xitter of X
Enough to see the reality
Of media that is a vex
BlueSky holds interest
Though its mostly niche
It has that academic feel
But also a bit pastiche
#Mastodon is fun
#Mastodon is freeing
#Mastodon lets me…be me-ing
