Transformations
They make it too easy to
Disappear into social media.
You stare at the page;
You become a different person.
It transforms you;
You can be who you wish.
No one knows what you've done,
Who you have been,
Who you are now.
You're only who they can see through their screens.
It's a cruel awakening to realize:
You're not who you are online.
she walked in.
what he wouldn't be ready for, was when she didn't.
he had tried to prepare for the worst but the image of her eyes and the memory of her lips wouldn't allow him to doubt
rational mind: it's been 2 years
but she loves me
rational mind: she probably met someone new
but she loves me
rational mind: she probably doesn't even remember
but she loves me
rational mind: you were never good enough for her in the first place
but she loved me
every time the door opens he peeked out
every time he was disappointed
every time he heard footsteps he snapped to attention
every time he slouched back down
Jack showed up at the bar twenty minutes early
Jack left the bar eight hours late

Cup of coffee.
Black.
No, a double shot. Maybe both.
Or should I just take a nap?
A nap sounds nice.
But I don't have time for a nap.
I should switch the laundry.
The trash needs to be taken out too
Did I pay the power bill?
I need to clean the girls bathroom.
Now the baby is awake.
She didn't sleep long.
So much for taking a nap.
Maybe I should just have some coffee.
Black.
No, a double shot.
I'll just do both.
The entire legal system has less than 10 laws. The intelligence of computers has well surpassed that of the human brain, while the obedience of these computers is as loyal and true as a good dog. There is such thing as money, but no one is poor. No one has to worry about forclosure or bankruptcy. There is no threat of terrorism or war. Collectively, culturally, there is a massive and authentic feeling of safety. Despite this privilege and comfort, no one is bored or spoiled. There is too much to learn, create, experience, share, celebrate for boredom to occur, and the ethical code of this global utopian culture is such that no one allows themselves to become spoiled - that is, unappreciative of life's goodness and wonder. In short, Earth - and humankind - is thriving, and everyone is so happy, healed, and wholesome.
I will help create this world, in this life, or die. I hope you will choose to do the same.
