    Entropy

    She left him and he left her long before thier bodies did. There was no fighting  no acrimony  just a palpable slide into entropy, the natural way of all things to lose order and decay. Even relationships cannot escape it. Signs, oh yes they were everywhere. Seperate lives, separate conversations, fewer words, less...

    • I get this. I wish I didn’t. You bring things out that most of us won’t express. Thank you for sharing, Peter.

      • Thanks Alexandria for your comment.
        Unfortunately, for those prone to self reflection, we are acutely aware of the five remembrances of Buddhism.
        Just in case you have forgotten them….

        I am of the nature to grow old.
        There is no way to escape growing old.

        I am of the nature to have ill-health.
        There is no way to escape having ill-health.

        I am of the nature to die.
        There is no way to escape death.

        All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.
        There is no way to escape being separated from them.

        My actions are my only true belongings.
        I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
        My actions are the ground on which I stand.

    Bound To Bleed

    Dark mass moves across the room Anticipation building in shallow breath Locked inside a fragile mortal tomb Waiting for the chilled whisper of death   Can’t escape from borrowed time This jealous clock still counting down   Critical thinking considered a crime Bloated jester claims his phony...

    • There are 89 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock. That’s the closest we’ve ever been to human extinction.
      Great musing, my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s pretty damn close, 1 minute and 29 seconds, did not know that one. This old dog still learning new tricks, thanks for the info, I like knowing little odd details, I’ve heard of the doomsday clock, just never knew about how close we got. Your commentary really means a lot my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I was reading this & groaning out loud as I did. Because it’s so painfully accurate. Am I the only one who feels like we’re watching the world draw inward…preparing to implode? All because those who have would rather have more than be decent fuckers. So instead they destroy everything in their greed. I’m a subdued pissed now, reading this. Yet again, you capture the essence of reality in all its ugly truth, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree, to quote Dennis Hopper in the movie Flashback: “We got two classes. The truly needy and the truly greedy.” I sometimes can’t believe it’s happened, then I have to recall how we got here. I’m surprised how slowly the people are waking up, gotta hope they don’t wait till the 11th hour. Appreciate you.
