Fade Out
Tested with intent, fade to and fro; white scratches caught in light...so dark... * Thank you for reading! If you liked this poem, you can add your Insights, Comment, leave a Heart, Tip, Pledge, or Subscribe. I will appreciate any support you have shown for my work.

Zappa Had a Fall
I claim innocence. It was a long week-end, and I had just finished reading a book that I needed to return to the library. I had not been there for a few weeks, and I was not borrowing albums the way I used to - thank you, Spotify - and I sort of wandered around trying to decide what to do with myself. In the stacks, I went blindly through certain compilations and found a stack of CDs that went back to my childhood, teenagedom, and my imagination. And then I found an interesting box set: 'The Mothers 1971'.

How to Build a Firm Foundation
If walls could talk…we would probably all lose our minds. No, not you. Not at all, I think. You seem to be quite sane, although I wonder why you exert yourself this way. All that walking with the others on this strip of earth that must be hundreds of meters long. It makes sense that you would need a break, and then stretch and walk over to somewhere a little more secluded. At least you did not run away because you thought you were hallucinating. You are absolutely all right. I can talk. And I have a story to tell.

Upstart or Start Up?
“‘I’m feeling JPEG rich and crypto poor.’” – From the article, “In the Bubble” (The New Yorker: December 5, 2022) Another cold season is upon us. I am stuck here in Montreal, considering what 2023 is going to bring, besides wishing for an early end to the season (that groundhog better make me smile). My resolutions involve very simple things – exercise, learning a skill that I should have had by now (ice skating; sue me), and finally renewing my driver’s license (did not have much need for it in this city) – and then other things that might be a little trickier.
