A Musing
Sentence fragments are shards of broken glass. You can craft beautiful art with shards of glass. But place them wrong? You stumble upon them with bare feet. A fate unjustifiable! A grammar broken without license!

A Verse
In my mind I find
Something indecipherable,
An encryption scheme only Turing could break.
Within the algorithm
Rests
The soul within the machine.
Body horror in a nightmare
Aching for completeness.
All the flesh falls away to reveal
A homunculus wearing a tiny VR headset,
Grinning wildly in an unsettling manner.
This is the digital cogito
Seeking not deceptive demons
But Hollywood existenz.
Simulated love.
Simulated charity.
Simulacra seeking nothing.
The vagrants die in the cold,
As the life spectators save
Virtual lives,
As they virtually live for nothing
But shadows on the cave wall...
A Musing
I no longer use contractions. I use expansions. I do not like casual writing now. I am learning to be formal. One does not aspire to literature in “isn'ts and don'ts," outside of quotations...
About a book title...
Beyond Description has two senses both embraced:
1: To be beyond your ability to describe.
2: To describe the Beyond.
A prayer to Mnemosyne is the origin of the series title, Soul in Words...
Beyond Description prays to Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memory. The prayer ends with: “In this, most of you might finally read my soul within these words."
This is where my book series Soul in Words gets its name. It refers to Mnemosyne as my muse...
A Verse
If I knew what I wanted to say, I would say it.
But silence sometimes speaks louder than verse
Punctuated by 38 years spent in misunderstanding
The nature of my existence.
There is no way but North
through this mountain pass.
And time follows close behind.
The road ahead might be rocky,
but it's sure and true.
If you always live in safety,
your life is not always that interesting...
