Time Out

Time is the worst of the dimensions,I bet time is fun at parties, I bet it doesn’t even social distance,It doesn’t know what space is! 🤦‍♂️ Photo by Inga Seliverstova from Pexels 🌪

Distraction Is An Opportunity For OCD

Distractions can be open invitations,Allowing OCD in and to strengthen, Distractions can be soothing mechanisms,In response to anxiety-compulsion sessions; I am doing a lot of either,And it seems, to me,That one also leads to the other!In both directions; But, I also have the body tics,And they rob me of so much energy and motivation;Distractions are …

Misfit Minerva

I was a planet on the edge of the solar system,Out beyond the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, Difficult to see, shrouded in mystery,I remained undetected throughout most of antiquity; The traces I left, were difficult to find,Requiring great wisdom and something of creativity, Yet there they were, if one looked closely enough,Woven into the …

When You Can’t Separate From OCD Obsessions

When you just can't forget that idea,Just can't drop it,One more time,You want to perfect it, Go and lie down,Let your brain detach from everything,Don't even try to meditate,Just do nothing and let your mind go vacant,Too exhausted to do anymore! …Then, after a while,You might realise that the obsession has faded in importance,Then jump …

Slowing The Rot Of Increasing Inequality

How do we stop inequality from increasing?I don't know,But I think there are some important ideas for us individually,Some ways in which we can at least reduce our own contribution— By thinking about what we can do,Over what we have, By thinking about how we can help,Over how we can outcompete, By thinking about how …

Goodbye, Than

Rest In Peace,The word 'than',And how much longer,Before you're officially outdated? I saw the warning signs,Early on,Back in the beginnings of the internet, I saw the warning signs,Early on,When it was still but an inconsequential blunder, But then I noticed…The gathering momentum,Usage slipped from blunder towards intention,And we'd crossed a key milestone,On the road to …

Dayum, Dayum, Dayum

Dayum,I lost so much, didn't I?Relative to the start of the year, With all of the stresses of the housing environment,No control over being able to do the daily tasks I needed to,Losing my ability to write how I wanted to,Losing my ability to want to write or to daydream,—All of this I was fully …
