Who Runs the World?

I have another piece I’ve been working on for a while now about the paradox of creation, how the destiny of creation seemingly always leads to destruction, and from destruction we get yet more creation spiraling on. Yet even as I write it, I find myself growing bored. Yawn. Who cares, man? It’ll come when …

Ethos

I want to write about politics, to expurgate my ruminations into reality as the word, and thereby perhaps come to play a part in the process, but I falter and hesitate at the edge of the board, hesitant of the entire indulgency of the process .  Charlatans have maligned the purity of the cause.  Logic …

Ordained

I recently asked an individual I deem one of my close spiritual advisors if they would officiate my wedding. Shocked, they replied “Oh, no. No, no, I’m not ordained. I know someone who’s really good that I could send your way, how would that work instead?” and I knew I’d have a task on my …

On Negation

    I think I’m falling for Candace Owens. — No. No, not in love, not romantically, that’s wholly the realm of Shoshauna alone, Shoshauna alone with her Sam. — Yet I am certainly being intellectually seduced.        This might surprise some, will not surprise others, but she’s a lightning rod of modern political thought …

Notes on a DNC Afar

I asked my partner to assign me prompts to grease the wheels of my creativity.   Her first assignment: how would you have improved the DNC to make it enjoyable?   Alright, good one. Let’s get started, shall we.    So, I don’t know how many of us watched the 2020 Democratic National Convention, the …

Systemic Change

I don’t think, in these days of revolution, we understand the depths to which the roots of these trees grow.    Cecelia Watson is right to call out David Foster Wallace and his structuralist defense of Standard Written(White) English.  Joe Biden claims the mantle of the Democratic nomination vowing change while choked out in a …

Mike for Black America

I gave my last cash dollar to a young hooded man on the subway who asked me, while I rode to hear Mike Billionaire make his case to Black America. – I’m common, I’m common, I’m common as muck. I’m common as muck and much more. – God these events are funny, they’re down to …

Obamas

I feel my stomach turn, my bile rise, when I read about the post-White House Obama’s. The personal inflation seems too damn high, gratuitous for ones we deem saints, yet Bloomberg I can’t help but admire. How curious that double standard, how uncomfortable this real.    I guess like most I just wish they could …

Tugging the Knot

We have so clearly lost our ways. The prognoses are many, the process of diagnosis too divisive and tiring to get into, and our concern now becomes too much so on the future.  If we want to reach the stars, we need to get up to scuff, the lot of us so that none get …
