a house ponders

A   House Ponders   "Death be not proud."   The formality of it, the style of bullets dancing in Ballroom A to warm a winter afternoon. Goodness disappears.   They told us this is the way a world turns, told us to define "acrimonious." Young and eager to learn, we did. We were loyal citizens.   They told us that a random day might be cerulean or grass green or beet purple. We denied our ears and put faith in our eyes.   On what summer door are sixty-five fragile retirements posted? When we come in old age to knowledge, we trust ourselves more to believe less of what the turning world creates.   Jerry W. Ward, Jr.            November 18, 2021

daily suffering

  OUR DAILY SUFFERING   Television and Internet are complicit in eroding individual and collective mentalities. This is a global problem.    Stealthy and snarky, they enlarge the possibility for Americans to develop mental health issues, love of evil in the name of power, and maximum distrust of one's neighbors. These culprits have secret compacts with Nature to produce systemic disasters.   We fight back and try to retard such progress.   Jerry W. Ward, Jr.             November 11, 2021

Work of Abnormality

  Work of Abnormality: 4, 6,, and 5   Absolutely.   Nothing new in hauling words, in asking once and again "what genre is this"?   Questions cast no shadows. Nor   do pandemics. Return to workshop and drawing boards. Neologize until quitting time.   Wing-flappers   insert purpose in twittering. If they are butterflies in accord with the science, they modify a world.   Ever incomplete, living is an estate of mind as   bodies progress to ruin. When so much is obvious, laughter echoes everywhere.   Territorial assertions expand, efforts to map rivers of the shall-be. What's weary of duplication are cultivating agents. Brain blooms one eon to the next.   Happiness is a rash on the skin of misery, chronic or acute. No cure exists.   Jerry W. Ward, Jr.             October 31, 2021

At the moment

 v AT THE MOMENT   Global pandemic abates slowly.   It abates in a slow hurry.   People find themselves (or what they vainly believe is their selves) incarcerated in what chaos, COVID-19(plus emerging variants), and chaos make possible. Absurdity is dominant.   Human being are vulnerable, sublimely vulnerable.   Whatever can go wrong does go wrong.   Goes wrong with alacrity. People are under surveillance 24/7. Digital algorithms know more about our purchasing habits, our faith or lack of faith, and our physical and mental conditions than we ourselves know.   Damn.   The color of law.   The color of office. MATRIX is an accurate metaphor for NOW.   Each day we fight back to ensure that struggle itself does not kill us.   Sometimes, we win the battle. Never, never, do we win the war.   We get decimated by invisible defeat.   Brave New World.   Fahrenheit 451. 1984. Animal Farm .   Read these books.   What was once fiction is now fact.   Do we still possess free
