A nothing from nowhere cast his words to a world wide wind, hindered by periphery.

Restrictions: None
Finger Pistol Craft (We have western civilization, or this)
Allegorical (placeholder) fantasy,
a creative exercise in indulgence, once more Hit it boys!.
Stage Direction: Everyone in their places, were reading to roll.

Narrator: 2006 — an empty stage sets our scene. Our witless writer is cued to walk in…
Direction: Action!

In that comfortable chair
with drink,
put on that music you like
and write
with Chekhov’s gun in your lap.

Type words on all  the world’s screens.
A scene protracts —
a sullied oracle wrestles with gray mystery,
lingers in doubt —
expansion into black, a coded void of silence.

Adjust the nuisance, wobbly backrest,
unquenched,
Rhythms create a boundary in space, thirst.
Going back in,
the second scene arrives with a writer unholstered.

There is a clueless, murderous lot,
I gander?
Ignorant gossip embellishes amongst them,
defaming him —
as toilet stall slander scrawls a journey, endless.

Wheels catch carpet, can’t roll or lean in.
Empty tumbler,
favorites fading into unknown songs spinning.
In this saddle,
every word and unspoken thing frozen sets.

Truth, or fiction?

I get a whiff of it again, unending —
serialized and practiced
from those cornflakes slamming a paywall dispenser.
Signs point him,
ambling hombre, into a horizon-spectrum, spreading.

This play — not well-constructed craft, failing.
Frankly, non-sense.
There never is a second act of our own choosing —
just charade
for interlopers intermingling, time depending.

A crafted, glorious scene, hyperbolic, awaits
each dreamer.
This man is gun, mis-typed, ill-conceived,
and crumpled,
clicked and heaved into a corner bin.

Make sure to eat those cookies.

Do writers ever think about that?
Words disposal
is as easy as typing lies into truth —
cause, Bang!
Finger-pistols aim at the inner Chekhov.
———————————————————

Epilogue: All other writers have handed in their papers.
He looks up,
watches exodus departure, one by one.
The entire room
depixelates him from characters in blank scene.


Never more un-real in the legacy of this white sea,
me.

4.5.25 / 4.9.25
58 lines to here, free verse . Peruse further at your own risk. (mind still needs purge, produces further on below…)
——————————————————-

I never said I was a good writer —
you did,
before unpinning that pride from my lapel.
Dust indent-ion
tweaks (still) the tinkered verses, rearranging.
——————————————————

Who’s writing this life story? Me?
Me, right? No?
What’s narr-a-tive?
Is there a question and answer, or…??
*reads litigant-provoking bathroom stalls.*
——————————————————

Can’t read handwriting or intentions, ever-flowing
in collaborated vortex
full of witless fury provoked, as witnessed in grade two.
When world, hear this voice (as intended)?
*with tablet key, on pixel board he holds,

but it won’t motivate a character to move.
Not like you.


He who is and isn’t, & yet…my inner Bond. Brian, to be precise. Not shaken or stirred.

Serious…any questions? Can anyone see me??
Holy Grail of Myth stays the Excalibur.
