Marking ‘jousting’ off list of things to do.

Good, vintage mediaeval gear is so hard to find these days.
My cats, as I enjoy tools to cartoon them. Making more. Hilarious takes. Deviant art creators, sorry. It’s easy and free. I’ll hand draw next and see what I can do, including a unique merit badge.

Budrick Cornelius Budwizer 2013 - present, animated from family photo.


And look…no watermarks. I get those removed free too. Now, if embedded in the pixels, meh.

One half of flaring-nostril, kitten comedy team, Whiff & Sniff: Carmella, 2013 - present.


Easier than writing. SM could easily link in house a few tools to temp user upgrades with these images slightly larger than thumbnails, really.

Eye navigating the ceiling for buggy intruders. Little Man, 2021 - present.


What do I know. I just blurt ideas without thinking. Not because I’m dumb, reckless or don’t care. Just impulsively passionate.

Hi, my name is Brian. I write less and goof around more now.

Not sure how to click on pics so people can see what’s written about each one.

Have two more cats, both new. One sent to the MIL to keep her company. My son found the starving boy George on a road trip, his life shortened, but quality and health now…makes me tear up. Such an obedient boy, it feels like thanks. So happy both enjoy the other’s company. The other rescue, Beans, lives with my son in the basement as the resident female is not having it. Shared house time custody. The boys are good to both girls. Hoping to sort it out.

Next idea to write: infiltraitors, my new word!

Bye!

It Wouldn’t Help To Know (Abandonment)

Before my friends left me to walk home alone in the dark, you consoled
with what now feels piteous. Where were you the New Year’s night I sensed
you were not home? I hauled four-year-old Johnny from bed, dressed warm to cross
that snow field to Mrs. Bednarz. I shouldn’t have done that? Clearly, publicly embarrassed.
No commendation? Seven, already theorizing a universe’s inception, eventual, quick demise,
had to be responsible when alone. Abandoned, alone, lost in thought…too many times,
I missed the bus, and would look up…feel it again. Ever wondering the cosmos, nature
and science, through statistical tunnels and into pity, if I ever…It won’t help to know.


I’m clearly stuck on 7.

I think ‘evolution’ should substitute somewhere. I had to evolve…others don’t.

Still working out kinks and the inadvertent hate like wake up call.
You know, it’s one of those things that crawls under my skin and I decide, that does it.
I’ve had headaches and can’t look at a screen right now, failing to read a recent email with double vision and gave up. Too much screen time catching up. My apologies.

There's an app through most US libraries called Libby where you can borrow audiobooks online for free for two weeks.
You need a library card. The library clerks can help you set it up if you need help. I use Libby all the time. It's great!

I understand the difficulty of reading with double vision. For me it was cataracts. Now, since my cataract surgeries. Double vision gone! *Party*

NLA/a repost and revisit to that fork in the road, two and a half years ago...(new edit)


Half Past Moon
The Shape of the Mind Does Not Bend Correctly

I live in the great green room
for years on end when
I paint it dark colors in dead of night
         monsters lurking about my head
that do not dine on gray hairs and wrinkles
         but lick my wounds
warmed by reptilian flesh
whisker tickles
         spike shadows against
windows, curtains, walls and down the hall

where a bunny slept sound
         many years now and not very small
would have crept in my bed
between my thin and a silvery woman
         snoring off her head

and I dread
morning light will reach before
this years long fight will end
         with me and the choice of colors
streaming through my mind
in this bed
where I shed my sweat

No mushy treat smells, nor ticking clocks spell
no oval drifters float to ceiling
         by morning fall
Just refractive error in mediocre light

In ten by eight, dressers stacked,
creaked closet ajar,
sits a mussed up mattress
trapping a worrisome head

I see a glint of orange spy through glass
when I begin to relax
ghosts drift out and meet
a sky pale moon
         not seen again for hours on end

On which to depend
         my body in the kitchen
         half past moon
Not true. I’m dead.

After they grow up and the only left to care for rejects itself, because no worth compared to a child.

Apparently, I had one written with punctuation the following day:

Half Past Moon

The Shape of the Mind Does Not Bend Correctly

I live in the great green room
for years on end, when
I paint it dark colors in dead of night.

Monsters lurk about my head, do not dine
on gray hairs and wrinkles,
but lick my wounds
warmed by their reptilian flesh.
Whiskers tickle,
spike shadows against
windows, curtains, walls
and down the hall --

where a bunny sleeps sound,
many years now; not very small,
no longer creeps in my bed
between my big, snoring head
and the silvery woman wearily calling,
calling, calling.

And I dread
morning light will reach before
this years-long fight will end
with me and the choice of colors
streaming through my mind
in this bed,
where I shed my sweat.

No mushy, crusty bowls remain,
nor ticking clocks that spell time;
no oval drifters float to ceiling,
by morning fall.
Just refractive error in mediocre light.

In ten by eight, dressers stack high,
creaky closet door ajar,
a mussed-up mattress rests, trapping
a worrisome dweller.

I see a glint of orange spy through glass,
when I begin relax,
and the ghosts drift out to meet the moon,
not seen for hours on end.

On which to depend, my body,
in the kitchen leaning, into
a cup in hand, half past noon?
Not true.
I’m dead.

3.22.22

It was a long night?
Whatever was intended, in response to the famous book Goodnight, Moon.

"From the hillside,
when I tired of staring at dreams
escaping into the horizon,
I sensed your presence

Back to the footpath, you follow
silent along the edge
until I wedge within wood
to stare up at my ghost

Daunting you haunt,
hunt souls like me who dare dream..."



Should I quit or go on from here?

I think it's begging for a couple more stanzas. *Smile*
... of course I didn't read all of the replies. Sorry, Brian. It's done and it's good! *Smile*
