Teytonon posted a new Poem titled Gus wants to drive a bus 2 days ago
There once was a man named Gus
Whose dream was to drive a bus
He contacted the MTA
Filled out all the forms ok
Gus felt there was nothing more to discuss
The email said 'Gus, wanna join us as a bus driver?
You need to provide a sample... [read more] |

"regolith sounding"
un-charted
regolith basin
the web-foot strikes no resonance
only a dry scuff against basalt
we keep trying to track a gait where gravity fails
the drake does not sing
he translates the vacuum into a... [read more] |

As I was enjoying a breakfast smoothie on the porch the other morning
far from the distractions of TV, radio or cable
a singular daddy long legs joined me at our picnic table.

"hallowed hollowing"
Taking in ragged rasps of breath,
tension gathers along the ribs,
compressing the system into a single vector,
forcing deeper structures to respond.
Cartilage strains under the load,
channels... [read more] |

لَوْ أَنَّكَ..
مِنْ غَيْرِ وَعْدٍ هَكَذَا
يَوْماً تَدُقُّ البَابْ
لَا تُعْطِي وَقْتاً
كَيْ أُدَارِي عَبْرَتِي
أَوْ أَجْلُوَ العَيْنَيْنِ مِنْ عَتَمَاتِ لَيْلِ الاِغْتِرَابْ
أَوْ عَقْدِ شِعْرٍ

زَعَمْتُ بِأَنِّي زهِدْتُ هَوَاكَ
لِحَدِّ التَّصَوُّفِ قلبي تسامى
وَمَا عَادَ ذِكْرُكَ حِينَ يَمُرُّ
يُشِبُّ بِنَفْسِي الحَنِينَ اضْطِرَامَا
زَعَمْتُ بِأَنِّي نَسِيتُكَ حقّاً
وما كنتَ يوماً بعُمري الغَرَاما
كَحَاجَةِ مَنْ قَرَّهُ البَرْدُ يهفو... [read more] |

"notes of cajun"
I coughed cajun into my hands—heat, smoke, a memory
that won’t stay quiet.
It startled me, sitting there,bright as something carried too long.
It stung enough to feel like truth.
Perhaps too... [read more] |

Have you ever pondered why
For most, a struggle not to die
For food, water, shelter
We'll freeze and we'll swelter
Struggle no more, here's AI
AI is here to assist you
At AI, better not get pissed, you
Know it's too late to... [read more] |

The Room Where You Can't See Me
I married you,
but somewhere along the way
we became two people
living in the same house
with separate lives.
