Insta War Room

The war room has been
assembled. Plans are laid.
The night will not
go on for long.

Defenestration – Essay

Defenestration was a paper written for my Sociology 101 class in Spring of 2018. Written in a haze over the course of an hour, and for my efforts received an 80%. Why, oh why, did I get a grade that high?

And to this day I STILL have issues with sticking to a cohesive thesis! Dammit. Maybe I ought to stick to poetry.

Ziraleet

What a good Arab boy might do
In Jordan
Is perhaps go to university
Of some prestige

Might decide to join
The army, and excel in it

He might even go so far
As to be introduced into
The special forces

Why the clans speak
Of a good Arab boy
Who will do as he needs
To protect his reputation

Especially when it comes
To the harem of girls
Who are knocking down his
Door to be married to

His parents have warned him
To play by the rules
So when one angelic hijabi
Falls for him

He knows what to do

I Cleanse, Unconquered

Night walk.

“Calling brilliance.
Devoted temper.
Our esque.”

Expel, invincible,
Not
Virgo Olympus.
Banish, still pure!

Expectations evolve,
Altered,
Hearts and minds yet
Unconquered.

Simply Raining

Rain drops
Onto concrete

Coating this
Solid ground
In
Liquid dimension

Shows off reflections
Damp with acidic
Runoff of the
Mesosphere

Simply impressive

Warsxzaw – Rehashed

Today we’ll be taking a look at a poem I wrote back in November of 2016, called Warsxzaw. As normal, I’ll be giving a little backstory before I dive into it all, as to let be understood what is likely another one of my more cryptic poems.

If you don’t wish to have my analysis spoil your possible interpretation, follow this link to the poem’s original appearance on the site: https://radioreality.city/2016/12/19/warsxzaw/.

This is a poem about that grey relationship of mine from Year Two. Where...

Manual Drive – Journal 6/6/18

I’ve encountered an issue.

My HDD consumption has reached a point where even on this brand new laptop I have no memory left over if I have all the files of Radio Reality City onboard. I have to have it all on an expandable memory device. Which sucks because it’s not all readily accessible, but it also simply makes sense to archive the stuff I won’t be using.

Unfortunately, after March, I moved to the old model of posting where I manually post a poem in the morning. And today I’ve arrived at c...
