Social Media

There are a couple of people who I've blocked on social media or who have blocked me on social media who I really enjoy seeing in the real world for hugs and coffee.

And there are some of you who I really like engaging with online and we just clam up and are awkward in real life.

And there are some of you I like both places, but in like, totally different ways, like I'm friends with the two different souls that possess your body.

And there are some of you who I can't stand, online or off but I like to keep an eye on you, or I like to have your eyes on me, to see that I'm doing cool shit, when I do cool shit, but then I worry I'm not doing enough cool shit.

I gotta go. 

Got some cool shit to do.

Religious

It's been so long since I had religion

I don't know if I can quite remember what it's like

But I know that if I had religion now

It would have to be a spirituality of my own making

I know chocolate would hold a sacred position in rituals

As would coffee and hot baths

No stale wafers and chilly baptismal pools

The red wine could stay

I have fond memories of passing it 

mouth to mouth 

on the beach

This is how red wine is meant to be served

If I had religion

I would believe that any God

Looking down and seeing you,

Sweet Coal,

would have to smile at the way you lived the life they gave you

You would be immortalized in stained glass in any church of my making

The patron saint of life long adventure

Falafel

 Falafel, more like falawesome

A food good enough to start a fight

as Egyptians, Greeks, Israelis, Palestinians, Iranians, and Lebanese all claim to be

the only ones who make it right

We give Hamburg credit for the hamburger

and we thank the French for fries

But falafel is so good everyone claims credit for it's inventions

and to make it better than those other guys

The world's most contentious food deserves better

This lovely fried and crispy treat

So let's stop all this bickering and fighting

and sit down now together and let's eat

Get yourself some falafel 

Have it made every different delicious kind of way

Unless it's served with yogurt instead of tahini

in which then tell them blasphemous monsters to go away
