The mist was extra thick this morning. The bicyclist would swear it, to anyone he encountered. He would nod, call out in greeting, and say, "Quite the fog!" That would be sure to garner a friendly reply. Maybe even a chortle. At least something in response, if just two words like, "I'll say!"
He pedaled faster. There were figures out there, but they never seemed any closer, or farther, for that ...
How did I get here?
Amnesia hit unexpectedly this time;
It is easy to get lost in the underworld.
Let us help you once again
Find which way is up
So you don’t fall down farther
You poor pathetic exercise–
Sorry–child.
Would you like to try again?
Try standing.
Oopsie-daisy, there you are.
Off you go.
That’s right now.
Uh-huh, buh-bye.
No, no, you take care.
You better....
I do look back and wonder
At when the road diverged in a late springtime wood
I retraced my steps thinking that old way led to better.
Here I am in yellowing leaves, surely this was but one way
At the time, my heart said the only one was back waiting
In truest regard, willfulness had set already set his path
Off track, though I believed, surely what was promised
Was simply around this obstruct...
All candy, when done right, should tantalize the senses. Eye-catching. Good bend or snap, depending. Fragrant. Suitable feel in the hand and mouth texture-wise. Delectable on the tastebuds, possibly inducing rapture, but at the minimum, pure joy.
Some candy, when done right, should transport the consumer to other times and places—literally.
Both types of candy were found in Ye Old Candy Curiosi...
Nothing here remains but the sand
Creeps in with plans for future dunes
"Don’t worry, sweetheart, I’m going to take
Real good care of you."
(Yes, I remember, and trust me, it's important that I do.)
Someone's been there obviously,
Long foregone in search of belongings,
Though taken full account and decided:
Let that old man who lost his only son
Off the hook. Look at those treasures, for won;
If...
I’ve created a monster
And I didn’t even realize
I apologize
I’m sorry, and I own it.
I’ve created a monster
But I’m going to make it better
This time I won’t believe the lies
Or count the times
You’re sorry, but you’re not.
I’ve created a monster
How could I do such a thing
Impossibly all I needed
Was you
Making me wait
Until, and I apologize,
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t.
I’ve created a...
There was something I was planning to get around to doing yesterday, but it totally slipped my mind and I forgot, sort of. The prompt that went away before I could get to it, about saving the world except for having procrastinated too long. That one (and "it should be humorous" if I remember correctly). Now I feel entitled to return to it by nature of this prompt on royalty, plus the arrogance of ...
"You’re not real."
For the thousandth time, I told the image in the mirror to shut up. Creature, really. I spat toothpaste into the sink and drowned out the broken record by turning the tap fully open. Yesterday, it was, "The problem is you," and the day before that, "Save yourself!" Trying to remember before that is kind of like trying to remember what you had for lunch after three days, especia...
