Buckminster Fuller seems to keep coming up lately. I knew he was a clever designer fellow but I didnt know he was also famed for inventing apt words for things. I like him even better now. I’m all for more accurate, honest language.
The words “down” and “up”, according to Fuller, don’t make a whole lot of sense given that we know the world isn’t flat. He...

The Girl who was Ashamed of her Shadow
(For the Shadow Beings collab on HitRECord)

The moon mutters To a passing cloud That there is one On Earth still standing Condescending clocks And checking locks
Alert, unhurt I sit and wait Cocooned in blankets For the pale light That...

This year...
I will face my demons more boldly or belittle them with my indifference
I will explore the perilous cracks instead of tiptoeing round them or short-term mending them with chewing gum and white lies
