‘How’d it go at the new restaurant?’

‘Interesting experience. The menu said Prix Fixe, but then the server said it like pree fix. It brought back memories.’

‘Of what?’

‘Remember back in school when we were #learning about prefixes?’

‘What about them?’

‘It’s not the end of the word.’

The Trumpetfish is such a ridiculous looking creature, they always make me smile. They are masters of color change as well, shading from brown, reddish, orange, and bright yellow. They often drift head-down like this, especially when hanging out in clumps of soft coral. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

We do not #learn
Something until
The wind bites our
Face and we brace
For impact as
A windshield sags

Still, to this day, societies around the world struggle to give abuse survivors the support they need. Some men face this challenge, too. In this piece, I analyze the various factors that impact the lives of the men dealing with trauma, and how they make it hard for them to ask for help. #article

Stretching in front of the
Shop window I catch sight
Of my own #reflection

How can the person with
A windswept smile be the
Same one who climbed a
Mountain to rile up an
Indifferent lover?

I wish our moments together
weren't #timed
the second you arrive
hourglass starts to empty

my feelings are bittersweet
happy for getting you closer
and sad for having to let you go soon

I wring each ounce of pleasure
from the moments
to bask in its glow
after you leave

Shrill screams struck me, and
That is how I knew
Your mind #timed it to
Perfection, even
As Hungry eyes sat
Around an oven

“We really need to talk about your song choices for when the office does karaoke.”

“That isn’t a #relevant discussion topic.”

“You’re going to sing My Heart Will Go On again, aren’t you?”

“All while staring straight into your eyes. Oh yes.”

#IronAgeWednesday - the Pitalpin Armlet, found in Angus. Bronze. Decorated with a ribbed pattern & “X-shaped” motifs. The ends evoke the head of an animal with stylized eyes, ears & snout. 1st - 2nd C AD. This type of #armlet is solely found in north-eastern #Scotland .

A #specific taste evokes a
Memory of a dinner full
Of sharp silences and unfinished
Pumpkin pudding sitting on top
Of a mound of limp party horns

#OPTIONS

options on the table
all that we are able
to make or break
to fake or take
killing an ocean
to save a lake
if we don’t wake
we’ll surely bake
a clear mistake
all for the sake
of spreading the fable
that our world is stable

A cursor twirls around
In the #options menu
To turn down the volume
Of a game that only
Gives side quests while the main
Tale remains unfinished

"Why can't you stop living in a fantasy world and focus on #reality?" she asked with a flash of irritation.
He turned on the news. More war, more crime, more scandal. A myriad of ways in which humans could make the lives of their fellows worse.
"Nope," he said, and picked up his book again.
