I fucking depended on you and you left the fucking wheelbarrow out and it's fucking raining and now the white chickens are fucking filthy

In good news I'm in love with my beloved Seneca Disc Golf Course again, twice in three days, 54 holes, yesterday with SeatSix, Dr Z a windwussy. I birdied Hole 5 with my magenta Roc from ninety feet, not many twos with my arm at Seneca, if you disc and you're ever near you need to. I'll show you the course. I want a star plastic Aviar 170g that looks like my mood and unpeaceful mind


cause it's a self-portrait, I want to see the putter curse the putter when the putter doinks the putter a quarter-inch short of dead center basket not each but most every time, plus I'm down to red, black, and white acrylic ink and gouache, blckdgrd me, wasn't planned but not an accident, fine metaphors abound, as always the grid is part of the monologue and the post is a poem

Illicit Coagulability

For fifty years me and people who think like me have screamed crackers and especially christers are vicious vindicative violent and vengeful zealots who delight in delivering your eternity in hell more than working towards their eternity in heaven. This evil, literally evil, m**********r, for instance.

"Nobody who's saying "Haha you idiots should have voted for Kamala to protect the Palestinians" has ever supported the Palestinians. These are all the same people who spent last year telling everyone to shut up about Gaza and stop opposing an active genocide. They can get fucked"
"It’s truly astonishing the extent to which people who work for the Democratic Party are willing to pick a disgusting, racist fight instead of ever try to win an election again. Pathetic party"
"Biden/Harris dead enders openly cheering for Trump to finish their genocide to pwn the left"
"If any of you were tricked by Biden, Harris, Trump, Netanyahu, Dems, GOP, MIC, media, etc. into turning a blind eye to genocide for whatever reason, then you should show some humility and read a book called Manufacturing Consent by Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky"
Thirty years of Middle East lies just keep coming back to haunt us

Here Is My Propaganda One One One One Oneing On Your Forehead Like Droplets of Luminous Sin

Monologue is the grid except to say, as you try to imagine what would have happened had J6 been an attack on the capitol by black men try to imagine what would happen if George Soros was now combing through government computer programs deciding whether keeping you alive cost efficient. I'm going outside to play.

V. Here Is My Propaganda One One One One Oneing On Your Forehead Like Droplets of Luminous Sin

Anne Carson

Like many a wife I boosted the husband up to Godhood and held him there.
What is strength?
Opposition of friends or family merely toughens it.
I recall my mother’s first encounter with him.
Glancing

at a book I’d brought home from school with his name inscribed on the flyleaf
she said
I wouldn’t trust anyone who calls himself Xand
something exposed itself in her voice,
a Babel

thrust between us at that instant which we would never
learn to construe—
taste of iron.
Prophetic. Her prophecies all came true although she didn’t
mean them to.

Well it’s his name I said and put the book away. That was the first night
(I was fifteen)
I raised my bedroom window creak by creak and went out to meet him
in the ravine, traipsing till dawn in the drenched things
and avowals

of the language that is “alone and first in mind.” I stood stupid
before it,
watched its old golds and lieblicher blues abandon themselves
like peacocks stepping out of cages into an empty kitchen of God.
God

or some blessed royal personage. Napoleon. Hirohito. You know
how novelist Ōe
describes the day Hirohito went on air and spoke
as a mortal man. “The adults sat around the radio
and cried.

Children gathered in the dusty road and whispered bewilderment.
Astonished
and disappointed that their emperor had spoken in a voice.
Looked at one another in silence. How to believe God had
become human

on a designated summer day?” Less than a year after our marriage
my husband
began to receive calls from [a woman] late at night.
If I answered [she]
hung up. My ears grew hoarse.

How are you.

No.

Maybe. Eight. Can you.

The white oh yes.

Yes.

What is so ecstatic unknowable cutthroat glad as the walls
of the flesh
of the voice of betrayal —yet all the while lapped in talk more dull
than the tick of a clock.
A puppy

learns to listen this way. Sting in the silver.
Ōe says
many children were told and some believed that when the war was over
the emperor would wipe away their tears
with his own hand.
