Back to the numbers,
not because of nostalgia
(for that is nothing),
but because it is something
that he must fulfill for once.
Thursday December 02, 2021
What is to be made
of the fact that Protestants
were initially
responsible for reading
the sacred texts critically?
Friday December 03, 2021
Having to meet them
on a regular basis
is the price he pays.
At least it is physically
distant and virtual now.
Saturday December 04, 2021
At least he removed
himself from being the cause
of actual harm.
It took him fifty seven
years to finally get it right.
Sunday December 05, 2021
At most he reproved
himself for being the cause
of fictional charm.
It has been fifty seven
years and he still gets it wrong.
Monday December 06, 2021
He has learned enough
to hold his own with the wise,
but pedestrian
enough to know that there is
something more primordial.
Tuesday December 07 2021
Whither privacy?
It withers on the modern
vine of space and time.
Even the ontology
of the ancients can't stop it.
Wednesday December 08, 2021
His kind of people
are in the minority.
They’re a dying breed.
Rather than fight a losing
battle, he chose to retreat.
Thursday December 09, 2021
Is it almost bliss
now that he missed this speeding
bullet beside him?
Like that one, brief, and shining
slug, it too is magical.

Jackie O "hauled ass
to save ass" in the limo.
She was not trying
to reach for her husband's brain
(at least Lenny Bruce says so).
Saturday December 11, 2021
Not everything needs
to be completely scheduled.
He wants to keep it
naturally spontaneous
without ending without it.
Sunday December 12, 2021
All he needs to do
is continue to fight the
hermit's nemesis.
The sons of Saint Anthony
are the only ones who know.
Monday December 13, 2021
It is cold comfort
knowing it is over, but
comfort nonetheless.
Unless he hears otherwise,
he’ll be wise to let it go.
Tuesday December 14, 2021
Communication
breakdown always makes him feel
lost in translation.
Technology will never
circumvent intimacy.
Wednesday December 15, 2021
Synchronicity
is a key that secretly
opens Hamlet's door:
there are more things in heaven
and in earth than we can dream.
Thursday December 16, 2021
They are falling off
like scattered dead flies upon
an old window sill.
They flew in but could not fly
out, despite how hard they tried.
Friday December 17, 2021
Bruno of Cologne:
the great Carthusian saint
whose order contains
monks of the highest rank of
whom the world is not worthy.
Saturday December 18, 2021
This time the visit
was as joyful as it was
neatly nostalgic.
A good time was had by all,
at least among the remnant.
Sunday December 19, 2021
The old suspicions
are rearing their heads again.
And what if they're true?
A man can avoid ruptures
by refraining relations.
Monday December 20, 2021
All of a sudden
it's "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)."
It's only one room.
Begrudgingly, he must find
the in-house electrician.
Tuesday December 21, 2021
He does not trust them
as a breed, nor does he need
to put up with their
subjugating subterfuge.
His kind have left them behind.
Wednesday December 22, 2021
The sixty second
chapter of the ninth book from
the ancient statues
contains the prohibition
describing him and his kind.
Thursday December 23, 2021
He has had enough
of their primitive mating
rituals designed
to ensure that they never
have to haul ass to save sass.
Friday December 24, 2021
He always singles
out sections signifying
silent seclusion
for all aspects of his life,
both sacred and secular.
Saturday December 25, 2021
He found it painful
to permanently delete
those lovely files.
But the (silent) writing is
on the wall for him today.
