Oh, and by all indications they’re still at large

Can we all take a moment to pause and recognize that our presidents, royals, prime ministers, popes, bankers, spiritual leaders, celebrities, press, directors, producers, writers, poets, actors, artists, models, musicians, captains of science, technology, academia and industry — and lets not forget to mention the armed forces! — were snuggled up in bed with, some literally sandwiched between a cabal who were trafficking children, making torture pornography, descended from those who funded and instigated the holocaust, apparently did 9/11 and Covid, weaponized Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons, were exploring ‘getting rid of all of the poor’, whilst subsisting on a strict diet composed entirely of human flesh?

“Apple’s best new sci-fi show just made a shockingly convincing case for cannibalism.” “Wonder Years star ‘embarrassed’ by how much she loved the taste of her placenta.” An anthropomorphized captain crunch reveals a fridge full of his own kind, discernible by frozen googly eyes staring into camera pleadingly. A shiksa has a whirlwind romance with a man constructed of Pringles until the ravenous masses suddenly leap upon and consume him, of which she cannot resist the temptation to partake herself. A young man in a strange occult ceremony is immersed in oil and withdrawn as an enormous hunk of battered chicken deeply fried.

non-acceptance 

I can only once again report am not loving these growing observable trends. Especially considering how much money, how many resources, the quantity of discussion among so many forces, research and analysis goes into expensive ad campaigns that are highly visible to the public in prime places by huge brands, on prominent platforms… Will just say this is not boding well, that such is considered prudent, lucrative, justifiable by organized capital and big business.

* “The Cherry Tree Carol” exemplifies Joseph’s journey from doubt to faith through a miraculous event where the unborn Jesus commands a tree to bend, providing fruit for Mary. It showcases trust in divine will by reversing the Edenic fall, while anticipating Christ’s power over nature, divinity, and his future sacrificial death.”

madness acting

inconspicuous 

on a summer’s day 

hunchback moon

slow snow 

driving through 

a parking lot

charms . . . 

selling something useless, counting 

on only half returning it

mulberry bush

tortoiseshell sunning 

across the way

sand trap 

his back leg 

kicks up grass

skulking hare

signs appear for

the next sweeping 

lightning round:

the pounding knocks

down another frame

wiping garnet

off base of the glass

napkin darkens

season’s greetings 

under the snow 

a deer carcass

ouiji

not giving the

unwanted truths

* The name is a blend of French (oui) and German (ja) for “yes”.
