I am still working on Treasure Island, but I've more things in the pile than I have time left. I bring this up and repost the link to this Persona #Poem because I have revised this poem to have more effect and added two other persona poems to form the seed of a new cycle. Watch this space!

Real life and the lack of basic income have prevented me from getting as far as I should on it, but I am still hoping to complete all 34 planned Cantos by next year. I've also been editing previous entries and the early drafts here don't do it justice. :) It's a passion project.

The banality of modern life. Having to earn a basic minimum instead of spending our finite time here exploring the heady domain of language and art.

Most ereaders implement only the base functions needed to put text on the screen. Frustrating.

You saved the vase!
This style reminds me of the paintings that were hanging in the house in the 1985 movie House. Or some of Michael Whelan's work.

You're the Horny Dumbass. The Problem Solver. The one who brought everyone here. This slasher reality check is brutalβand totally accurate. Which role gets you gutted before Act Two? π

Just absolutely spitting on the sacrifice that people were bearing and in the treason accepting the GOPs framing that Democrats were prolonging it.
I am furious, but Neoliberals are going to Neoliberal. I find myself agreeing with accelerationists more and more.
They are really trying to setup the material conditions for complete breakdown of civil order. Going to be a winter of vast discontent.

I'm sure there is a fine line though between characterization and catchphrase.
