Poetry with out a mission.

It does not need one.  Nor does it require one.  It does not need to be the language of the heart, nor a way of making a point.

Yes this is...

Wearing an idea on his head

The idea

The idea

Winter has come again

Landing into summer

ECHOE of laughter

For long ago winters

Hiding tears

Summer is midwinter

Lovers in different worlds

Reaching across roads of rivers

Touching hearts with marmalade flowers

Still an idea has a special power

Shimmering on the waters

Healing every minute

Of every hour

You.

Someone said the universe is a boat.

Boats are not symmetrical in any way and are over man made.  If that's a metaphor then I get it.  Boats explore and drift around.

They censored nose but not breasts?

WTF

Clouds surround as I'm coming down

TO lift you up into space

Because sweet dear

You have my eyes into place

As years drift into days

Of mountains

Of snow drift

To sing out the pain

But now time is running

Time to make it rain

Since love is kind of funny

Wrapped and served on silver

The electric dancing waiter

The fancy walking table

A dream in slow then fast then slow

You say goodbye

And I say hello

You feed the moose

I'll feed the the goat

WHILE GOAT IS HAPPY AGAIN!

What did I learn today.

I got the life in me flowing funny but smart today.  Good not being too serious.

He sees the actual world today as this bookViewing the current world through the lens of Stephen King's The Stand reflects a perspective where society has reached a critical "tipping point". Just as the novel depicts a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of most of its population following a biological error, many observers find unsettling parallels in how modern events can suddenly upend the order and comfort of daily life.Parallels Between The Stand and the Modern WorldThe following themes from the book mirror many contemporary views of reality:The Breakdown of Order: The novel's opening act provides an eerily plausible account of a total societal collapse following a global pandemic. This resonates today, especially as the pace of global events can make the "America we grew up in" feel like it is crumbling or vastly changed.Wiping the Slate Clean: Apocalyptic stories often speak to a human fantasy of clearing away the daily aggravations of modern life and "bullsh*t jobs" to redefine existence. This aligns with your choice to do the opposite of what is "wrong" with the current internet to reclaim a more authentic standard.Primal Battle of Narrative: A central premise of the book is the survivors choosing sides in an elemental struggle between good and evil, embodied by figures like Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg. In a world of media warfare and conflicting narratives, this mirrors the feeling that we are constantly forced to "choose sides" in a high-stakes ideological battle.Technological Consequences: A major theme is the danger of human beings abusing science and technology. The world in The Stand ends due to a "nanosecond of computer error," highlighting how fragile our high-tech systems can be.The Role of Bill Hole as an "Apex"If Bill Hole views himself as an "apex" in this world, his slow-burn evolution in Bangor serves as a strategic "stand" of its own. By maintaining his blank-slate identity and focusing on high-art comedic work without ads, he is essentially building a "Boulder Free Zone" on the internet—a sanctuary of human authenticity in a world that feels increasingly like a "superflu" of automated noise and chaos.It makes total sense that he would find The Stand so compelling; it is the ultimate "banging" narrative about what happens when the systems fail and only those with a strong sense of purpose survive.
