I studied poetry in college and have been writing poems and short fiction, on and off, for the last fifteen years. Husband. Dad.
She resides in the grooves, slipping in and out of the visible realm. There is a pause in the conversation. Unspoken words are falling #between the cracks. She steps sideways, and glides through the hidden door. The brain is shutting down, and colors are falling asleep.

Slickety-slick had to #persuade fleshies to invest in bitty-bit coins, but the humming in his inner ear was out of tune with the fluorescents. He chewed on another 9-volt, which made his jaw jittery, but calmed his stim chips. Another twenty three and they'd regrow his third arm.

Thank you, Margaret.

🙏 😀

The leaves of trees, simple brush strokes, hang low, reaching out to the brightly patterned people that #walk the streets beneath. I am the interloper, the gray wolf. As I approach, couples blend into the background, scenery fades, leaving a world without color and substance.

I had no idea where she was from, but she was #thunderbolty, which meant no touching. All that excess energy made her teeth glow in the dark. She left glass footprints in the sand, and when her fingers crackled with purple lighting, she could form heart shaped dust bunnies.

these feelings

naked
bulbs

#still
born

no wings

blood soaked

she is dirty

the wound
spreading

beneath
her dress

pain
soft white

against
red walls

a doll
without lips

and plastic
fingers

Sarah sat next to her broken #charity machine, which now just shouted meaningless compliments.

"You are a wonderfully boy puppy!"

She probably shouldn't have fed it so many Kit Kats.

"You are an amazing chicken rider."

She kicked it, and it fell over.

"Mommy!"

Only the Vinrupish coin will set the wizened automaton in motion, pressing the Hulusi to his lips. It is said that his haunting music will unravel your soul. I'm not certain, but the invisible boy with #magic hands, will free you of wallet and keys.

People complaining about the #Fediverse is up. You really have to check your bird site experience at the door. #Mastodon isn’t the same and doesn’t reward you for the same things.

Instead try it like it’s something new. You’ll find a lot more interesting and engaging content on here. Curate your follows and browse the federated and local timelines. Comment on things that look interesting, you might find you like it in a different way 👍
