hey you 1

hey you… don’t let ’em barcode your heart

what's madness

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

who were not

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

An incomplete list of things

lost along the way:

a pewter cross, beams conjoined with twine

a perfectly obliging, most obedient mind

the earliest drafts of sacred texts

agency over the wrecked disconnects

a friend, in the whirlpool caught

family members who were not.

looks like nod

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

dutifully, the children sat at their desks

the one withdrawn, located back corner

warily & wearily watched the teacher

striding back and forth

gripping his primary implement of abuse

pointing it for emphasis

class, never forget this is eden

the one withdrawn thought

looks like nod.

in the temple, in the choir

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

in the temple, in the choir

to the left, of the lectern

she stepped to the microphone

(something in between

her fingers smoldering)

this temptress sang,

telling bunkerman she was exhausted

from toying with the bows

from toying with the arrows,

bunkerman sent her a telegram

the very next morning

you were sayin'

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

bartleby that scrivener

wiped his mouth with the back of his hand

& then stared up

— aghast —

at his aggressor.

wiping the knuckles

of his sap gloves

with his handkerchief,

bunkerman asked,

so… you were saying?

living it

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

some think bunkerman writes this.

he does.

but it’s a minor part

of living it.

quite a long time since you did

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Woman: (shrieking): God help us!

Elderly Man across the parking lot: (shrieking back) Who?

letter to robinson

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

dear robinson,

the need to build a silent city in your mind…

bunkerman’s been push brooming for so damn long.

i get it.

adios, bunkerman

baby, stay quiet

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

SH∃

perched in his knee

running her fingers through his hair

said

baby… stay quiet

we don’t need them consulting their manuals

diagnostic

and especially

statistical.

the scientists will tell you

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The scientists will inform you of that which they have disproven.

Why would you believe those who deny magic when their souls never could dance?

kruschev, pointing

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Nikita Khrushchev pointed

Out the window towards a brutalist tower

Felt his heartbeat skip

Then said

In 30 years, we won’t be the ones

Flying planes into those.

education, indoctrination

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

the crash will come

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

It always does, Felix.

It always does.

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

bunkerman knows he hung your picture right behind him so you’re always looking over his shoulder, you smug bastard — bunkerman’s here, you’re not — how did that work out for you?

woman, shrieking

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Scene 2 a.m. — 1955 — Waverly Diner

Woman (sitting in a booth — seated across from her date for the evenining — the ghost of her dead ex-husband — suddenly shrieks): God help us‽

Addict: (lying in the street and to themselves)

It’s all about the ratios.

life outside

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

She looked up from the screen, saw a life outside of the infinite scroll and chopped off her thumb.

Fortunately, we have other, less drastic, options.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

That motherfucker drew to an inside straight

after reading the book on types, the intellectualista thought she’d developed superpowers.

Herr DoKtor scribbled the diagnosis and Winced

apophenia

sedatives, back then

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

At least back then we only had three audiovisual sedatives from which to choose.

At least back then we could keep track of what was killing us.
