It's been said it takes
ten-thousand hours of practice
to master any hobby or field.
If that's true, then
how did I manage to
quickly pick up the art
of mashing piano keys
in a grossly melodic manner
by the end of first grade?
I was no Beethoven or Liberace,
but there was no equal among peers.
Maybe it was the key-tar's
simultaneous emergence, or
reverse ageism, holding me back.
I coulda been a legend, ma!
Instead, here I am...tuning words
and making other kinds of notes
and wondering all the same.

30-Day Image Prompt.


There's an alternate universe where
cable news stations are alerting
viewers that Jesus Christ is
coming, and- you won't wanna
miss this- he's a robot. His
prep work on us is almost over...
he's been reading all the Harlequin
classics at the Hopedale Memorial
Public Library And Ladies
Auxiliary Landfill For The Almost
Homeless, and he likes what he sees.
Thinks he'll fit in. Maybe get laid, even.
Assuming, of course, our lord and
lotharial savior isn't deported first.
But the real story- the one
the news doesn't tell you- is
that Robot Jesus is made of
Lego brick knock-offs, and
running a magnet over his
circuit board causes him to
question his sexual preference.
Meaning: all his book-learnin'
is doin' is he could be lovin' you
while thinkin' about someone else.
And in this alternate universe,
that one sin is greater
than all the rest combined,
but that's not concerning
to the loyal news patriots
or moral zealots who
think they have a chance.

30-Day Image Prompt.


You're a picture that needs to be extended
in every direction but the one you're facing.
Walks aren't there just for taking;
are you making plans or merely exercising?
Control is useless on small courses
with slow speeds and little wherewithal.
You're not thinking big enough by jumping off;
sometimes you've gotta step on.

When everything is instead, nothing is growing.
Get loose. Get stretched. Make moves. Start showing.
