Lies My Mother Told Me, or The Seven Deadly Sins
Tess Eggleston over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
Working is unfulfilling.Romantic love between an aunt and her nephew is beautiful.My worth lies in the number on a scale.Looks are more important than brains.Taking prescription pain medication every day is normal.What can I do to help?Things are more important than people. If you repeat a story enough times, people will believe it, even if […]

You told me you get nosebleeds That one time in high school it was so bad that you left a trail from your desk to the restroom When we made out in my college dorm I knew as you lifted your head away from mine put your fingers to your lips and tasted the crimson […]

Artificial Sonnets

VII. The flick’ring of the lights was the first clueThat something was amiss. The poet frowned.The building seemed to tremble then subdue,Accompanied by muffled thudding sounds.A creeping cold unease began to grow.He got up from his desk; his door was locked.He tried his phone and found the signal blocked,He shouted and heard only an echo.What […]

Buzzwords because naming a new radioactive isotope does not negate the power a Dyson sphere (advanced solar panels) hold […]

VI. The poet cut a sorry figure lately;Early triumphs had lost all of their glitter.His boss called, which did not surprise him greatly,But poverty required he was no quitter.His manager was terse, her tone was brittleAs she explained to him the situation:“This lady oversees a hospitalAnd hopes you’ll diagnose an aberration.”He nodded to the guest; […]

On the Existence of Poetry, An Ars Poetica
Julia Snyder over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
Poetry is not real. It hovers overthe edge of existencethe blurry line betweenlife and death. It does not dealwith the mundane and banalthreads of being. It enters into themicroscopic, trivial things, the important thingsthe things that are painful to think aboutthe things that burn us if we get too closethe things that bring us joy […]
