2025-09

beginning the month with a cleaner app diet
limiting myself to weekly on instagram
celebrating a distant country's knowledge day
staggering these aphorisms at random times

marking two thousand days of the pseudo-crisis
using media only to sort stimuli
considered looking at uploading to rumble
uploading just one more to the red play platform

relieved to use websites that don't feel like rigged games
knowing full well that hard times create stronger men
scaling back needs to pay excesses through the nose
exhausting to maintain a plethora of stuff

winding down operations on the city flat
considered this as volunteer data entry
rummaging through the archives of some telegrams
trying to go with a daily quatrain format

forty-eight syllables per day every day
time zones make timelines so complicated and stuff
not fighting zombies but normies in this timeline
living apocalyptic lives with sunny days

catching on to their passionate but flawed statements
ensuring that the next line happens in six hours
scheduling lines more regularly than ever
delayed by the rain we did catch up on some sleep

thanking obscurity for allowing me time
placing a clickable button inside a link
turning chaos into a tightened regiment
trying to bear down and concentrate on something

making this as open-ended as possible
implementing a more abstract wooden language
reinforced the eternal metal retainer
reiterating a wishy-washy promise

spending one more night in this suburban enclave
posting four times daily on this quiet corner
noticing a slight delay in the schedulings
taking too much time to regroup and recollect

remaining nervous about the team's position
fermenting the chaotic into an order
returning to a more boreal location
preparing for the next fortnight of labyrinths

overheard renewed calls for investigations
recalling events from two dozen years ago
remembering the chaos and uncertainty
having yet more to process in the current year

making things more regimented and regular
hoping the heated emotions die down quickly
needing to obfuscate more in this day and age
retreating to the quiet corners of the web

revising as always the lifelong battle plan
deciding the best time to strike with telegram
letting regiments slip once or twice in a while
hoping to get a bye for some much needed rest

avoiding the need to have a large audience
focusing more on what makes sense and simply move on
executing the plan away from the limelight
keeping a large distance away from the masses

reserving some lines for the occupied moments
commencing the week with a revised direction
knowing the current situation as a must
envisioning paradigms beyond the social

prepping for unlikely worst case scenarios
ensured enough rations before venturing out
enjoying in the mean time the quiet retreat
getting worked up in the past but relaxing now

heard an uncommon language from the sunrise lands
aiming to think things through in a world of robots
devised a schedule for all the chaotic things
ensuring a semblance of clockwork releases

classifying different ways to entertain
observing hallowed evenings all throughout the year
suggesting tips for games with questions and answers
noticing analogies with regards to time

finding a minimalistic approach to film
acquiring inspiration from various guides
finding more mental nutrition on other sites
wondering why engineers over-engineer!

neither leaving the web nor dwelling within it
reading a whole month's lines takes only five minutes
checking out of the unnecessary mainframes
finding very little incentive to stay there

finding the esperanto of web programming
admiring the simplicity of the alpine
shrugged off a huge defeat earlier in the week
relegating ourselves to leagues of solitude

applying directives to random hypertext
admiring sensible aspects of doing things
cringing otherwise on a regular basis
disappeared completely from the book of faces

finding what once took place so often now so rare
indulging in solitude some mindful pursuits
tired of mainstream interconnected networks
spending as much time as possible in the caves

continuing this long treasured epic in peace
repeating or rhyming does not have to take place
having no future but not worried about that
preparing what we can for when the line goes flat

spending the last two years in a holding pattern
not quite sure how to proceed or where to go next
preferring to avoid the chaotic outside
lying flat while surviving on past investments

wrestling with time to schedule these short epic lines
waking up with a hope to see our victory
using the wayback machine to combat link rot
focusing on tonight's game of evolved rounders

having nobody but myself to place the blame
looking at the results of last night's crucial game
vacating the premises for another time
noticing how no one sees how patterns align

redirecting all the resentment to the past
shoving payloads of anxiety to the void
witnessing the season's last match light up today
finishing the season with exhilaration

relieved by the end of the regular season
summarizing current events in abstract terms
taking a break from tracking those wins and losses
reaching new heights with the simple alpine framework

running out of energy to become someone
watching time pass faster and faster with dismay
relieved not to stress over today's wild card games
having no problems saying "fucking" in public
