It's Always Dreary
Most of the world are dead inside
the others are people who haven't realized it yet
or just idiots.
We're on a giant turd that used to be a
wonderful place then, humans ate it up
and shit it out.
Don't get me wrong there's humor in this misery,
just have be a tortured soul to see it.
I'm laughing so hard my cheeks hurt and tears
streak my face. No reason to cry, it's something
the eyes do to annoy me. Ocular hope.
The brain knows better.
2 million joints and a bazillion cigarettes
and enough wine bottles to build my own
glass house.
I float in my mind into the abyss of where my
metaphorical heart lives, and damn, it's a really
dark place.

Dear N,
Absolutely brill! Dark subject dark humor. Love it. And I agree, darker days ahead but laughing through it is the best coping mechanism. Great piece. H🌷

It's very hard for me to see the light.
I've been on my own since 15 and it's been nothing but hard and harder.
I wish I could write about the beauty of this life, it just doesn't feel real to me like I'm lying.

I did not know your back story. I can't begin to imagine all you have been through. Thank you for sharing. It will change the way I see your work, having that understanding of where you are coming from.
This is an amazing poem. Hopefully, things will lighten up.

I've been trying out AI art too. My favorite was a jar of mayonnaise in the style of a Batman graphic novel, it was a very gothic jar of mayonnaise, with the Bat symbol on the label lol. Anyhow I hear you, so much is such a shitshow.

I like the AI art because it's yours. More people should use it instead of using Google images because the artist never gets the credit. I also used to do that and then I started doing my own photos, Dan who has passed was my inspiration for using random photos I took.

I tried getting some photos for my background art and I saved some of the results, but nothing was much like what I asked for, like when I talk to ChatGPT, my asks tend to be too abstract for the AI to interpret.

I used Dall-E for the visual art. You get 15 free uses a month before you have to pay.

Not sure why those opening lines make me think of social media and how the mere entertainment (spending hours just looking at mindless things) have turned so many in lifeless droids.
Nice work.
Nice work.
