She lifts her head above the dashboard and squints at the gray brightness of day. Uncertain of what she sees.

Steaming black asphalt.
Shadow boxes and displays giving sentiment
To sometimes wordless poems.
Memory and meaning;
Music and movement.
Wholeness, oneness, perfection.

Hi My Name Is Depression
Hi! My name is Depression.
I will follow you throughout your whole entire life.
I will pop up at inopportune moments.
I will ruin everything you love in one way or another.
I will destroy you.
You will swallow fistfuls of pills to kill me.
You will slice yourself to ribbons to quiet me.
You will lash out because maybe that may appease me.
You will wish for release from this mortal coil to escape me.
You will run from me.
And you will always fail.
you will always think you're a mistake a bad decision the wrong thing the wrong time the wrong place the wrong circumstance it makes you weird when you are alone it makes you worry the work-horse panicking within it makes you want nothing at all

in Winter we reminisce an introspective time of year especially this year our outward vision oddly liquid-blurred I don't know if I know anyone who is gone from this this time of disappearance lain upon me and they while we remain at home waiting out there the cold feels more cold where it didn't use to the warmth further away soon we're a half-million gone we suffer for our stubbornness fools claiming to be patriots tools of cultish jingoism loving THEIR 'freedom' more than life especially more than the lives of "those others" a crucial thing is missing: reality is unbidden hidden away he said it's "fake news" and here I had thought in truth "we're all in this together" llp - dA - feb2021
The twinkling lights of the city gives way, as the dawn begins to creep up around the edges of the horizon. Stars dim, drowned out by purple and mauve hues, slashed through with deepening orange that turns tangerine and gold, with the rising sun. Its arrival sending the night time creatures scurrying for cover. They scamper like frightened mice into the shadows and creep down lonely alleyways, seeking the shelter of their homes and beds, to sleep until the blanket of night is cast over the city again and they can return to their trade. Almost as if terrified that if they're transfixed by the sun it will warm their blood, reminding them of the

as we follow our nature-nurture
our perception our insight our entire life depends on what we gravitate toward or what we avoid via preferences grown within us foisted upon us or even possibly chosen by us - if indeed there is free will viewed in certain ways I believe that is probable even if only as a learned skill we are created altered morphed via many variables: - parentage - community - experience - inspirations - epiphanies - traumas - whatever we need to consciously realize these forces in our lives arise from random chance happenstance... the particle dance as we judge each other or ourselves we must remember to apply this truth: whether right or wrong things simply happen around us to us and through us we should be watchful for evolution's questionable 'gifts' - our evolved delusions allow various beliefs with what confidence and comfort they generally bring with also however the tribalism they often promote thus we have tribe vs tribe we stubborn humans prefer our own answers we become
