Black Mirror(inspired by the TV series)
if every brain were hooked up to an A.I database; if one could see into the soul of another(in good will) literally upon meeting face to face;
from insecurities, pain, passion etc....what would play in one's mind from day to day.... would "humankind" be in a better head space? would pinned up frustrations, judgement and heartache fade away?
probably yes and no....maybe it'd be just as counterproductive as it is today despite one's ability to more or less "effectively" communicate.... ...

hours in a day
asleep or awake, there's never "enough" hours in a day; for rest, pleasure, or one's ways to make pay....
even if 48 hours were in a day, it's still not enough.... "enough".... at least in my opinion; guess it depends on the who and the what....
but.... i know-that "home"bound(or place of "refuge") is probably my personal favorite place.... where one's heart beat is most times at a resting pace....
from my personal point of view-it's unfortunately difficult to get/keep that feeling anywhere else....

the tunnel
like the trains stationed- most days, am i-and a good portion of humankind; numb and void of feeling are far from the same; my eyes still water like drizzle from the rain....
expectations vary-the higher the floor-the more scary; some will be understanding-some will not as to why one doesn't aim for an "acceptable" "score"....
heart still drops at the thought of "death"; that's indeed when things are perceived as nothing left; and it's scary-very scary if that be...

cool & warm
maybe there's this "unrealistic", "idealistic", force of healing nature one yearns for; the uncomfortable armor round the heart worn-nipped and pierced....worth years-til freshly cuts today....
numb was not a want but yet a given-need to bear the aches.... disguised as "im ok"

wanderlust trailmix & teleportations
what's on my mind, in rhyme-and in between the lines?; that secluded introvert with his private life-fantasying private time(s) that's not as much a sacrifice....
only travel in the mind-where people, places, and things.... don't feel like dodgeball city, or "fight or flights"....
maybe if there's another life-if i died and in another realm came back to life....maybe, i wouldn't have as hard a time.... maybe I'd care whether i lived or died....maybe the trip that time be worth the ride
but...

"olympians"
this isn't one's "era"-perhaps somewhere in the way past(not likely) or possible way future(who knows/probably not); they say we're all here for a reason/purpose....
one doesn't really want....this.... to be a gold, silver, or bronze medalist(classism/status/overachiever....one just wants a simplistic life); not to be one of many numbers in the running.... one word just echoes in one's mind....
survival....

moths & butterflies
not the biggest adventurous type; but one'd like to escape into the night; carnivals, restaurants, bars always tend to draw the moths and butterflies to their lights....
guess I'd be a moth-in some parallel life spending time with an attractive abstract butterfly personality type (fun, friendly, understanding, open, patient, social).... one night into more perhaps multiplied ....
what if we knew how much time we had left in this realm?; what if there were a news report stating we had weeks to a month before a huge meteorite...

neck deep
adrift off into the sea; where tides are most certainly; who ever tells you that an island (that one must up keep or lose) is all one needs-they are lying;
what's worse- stake was laid claim here long before thee; so destined sooner or later one were to be neck deep-in various ways....
this is a rigged game to hold one's soul hostage and in a bottle🥃while more or less in denial or exiled one way or another to the shark inhibited sea....

"writing" "poetry"
i love it.... i hate it.... it oils the spinning wheels, that at times i want to do away with....
it's a "gift".... it's just as much a curse; dealing with "creatively" arranged words in verse....
sometimes i want to throw it away; it's like an itch in the mind need scratching-which at times unable to erase the fact that it wants Molotov(alcohol beverage)of choice down the hatch or bullet to one's own brain perhaps....
because it's all but one of many copes in the bag; because.......

this is not a poem
this is not a poem. (observing everyday happenings)this is why i don't go out of my way most of the time to meet people, and often stay to myself.... im cool calm and collected as I say this.... Im no where near perfect but.... sometimes I sit as I shake my head at how unbelievably full of shit people are sometimes....

calm before the surest storm(LUST)
just like hunger, rest, & social interaction-lust is a calm before the storm from natural "disasters" yet but sooner or later to happen....
lower regions either get hard like ice cold snow below 20 degree weather or wet like rainiest of days-yet expected to be on ones' "best behavior" when that "feeling hits the air"
most of the time-one may find one's self alone in trying times-may even get through an entire day without the cave....
but it's just one of many battles one always has to...
