nothing, his page remains blank.

since he prepared beforehand.

systematic when it comes
to Philosopher
Reading is really working
out for him at this late stage.

work the room any longer.
It’s just not his jam,
despite his success at it
for such a very long time.

him down to his essentials.
Life is better for him now.

Advertising it

But he won’t open
that door because he does not
want to be seen anymore.
Tuesday December 12, 2023

on the outside by a force
that was not his own.
He and his family were

picking up where he
left off with the stuttering
of the unutterable.

what is required,
equals settling upon
his lovely Latin schema.

way from a distance.
If seeing is believing,
then tasting it is as well.
Sunday December 17, 2023

constraints to convince him to
say no to the show
that was presented to him.

Back to the reading
board for the very last time
before the year ends.
He’s an unsystematic
old school systematizer.
Tuesday December 19, 2023

of making words every day.

off if he headed off to
the offing before
him, leaving them in the dust
to let them fend for themselves.
Saturday December 23, 2023
Something is coming
his way now that the corporate
requests have been made.
It could be that AIOps
prepared him for GenAI.
Sunday December 24, 2023
There is only one
wish so far away from him
so far, and so good.
He does not need another.
He is full of gratitude.
Monday December 25, 2023
He knows exactly
what it is he's dealing with
now that he received
the wink of indirection.
It is what it is (and was).
Tuesday December 26, 2023
The light is still on
inside the second window.
It never goes out.
He closed the blind in the past.
Now he looks at it all day.

A change is coming.
It has already started.
No one is immune.
Everyone is affected.
Democracy is a myth.

He was once unforgiven,
but now he can rest in peace.
Sunday December 31, 2023
Enough is enough.
It is not worth further effort.
What price making words?
Silence is heard here as well.
He wrote, and was read no more...
