The bird folks were enraged. Another vote by the senate blocked the introduction of woodpeckers to #Mars.
This was the last straw.
Gathering for battle, they prayed, “Woody protect us!”
At dawn, they charged with a diabolical laugh. The martians didn’t stand a chance. A new god was born.

There is such a thing
as righteous #scorn
Enjoy Coca-cola!
It’s laser pointed
Never aimed at eyes
Not sneers, jeers from
Misguided foxes
Just do it!
Almost always misapplied
Past cause, past effect
After mourning, before the fight
I’m loving it!
Spite wasted on atoms
A narrow way indeed

“I say good sir, to which exotic beast do we owe the pleasure of hunting in today’s #shoot?”
“Reginald, today we’re shooting crab’s eyes”
“But sir, how can we hit the eyes of a crab?”
“That’s just it Reg, it’s a crap shoot”
“I beg your pardon!”
“Why? You haven’t shot anything yet.”

The asteroid burst into a million pieces using the new weapons systems developed by the Faction he worked for, drones rushing to drag the enormous net to capture the fragments.
He could #shoot asteroids all day, but that was just showing off. What they needed to do was talk to each other.

“Take a look at this #humble jumble,” said Steve, gesturing at the table.
Strewn across it were knick-knacks, baseball cards and partial collection of Hercules plates.
A swap meet regular, Steve always had the same assortment because he hadn’t sold a thing. That didn’t stop him.

I #reminisce
About a dancing frog on TV
The songs it sang
Imprinted in my mind
Like grooves on a record
My brain stem is the needle
The croaking creature
Performing for this audience
Of one, and no one else
Bringer of woe and my joy
Now back in your box
And into a cornerstone

A pause after the afterglow
Then thunder crackles
Then thunder rumbles
Splits the sky, makes you wonder
How the #mighty could hear the boom
And then with a shrug, Zeusing resume
But then to know
When lightning strikes sand, it turns to glass
Eyeing the silent piece where beauty can amass

“That is so kind, thank you!”
“Hey man, you are kind of freaking me out.”
“Why’s that?”
“Your #gratitude!”
“What about it?”
“It’s gratuitous!”
“Oh, well thanks!”
When they parted ways, it stopped raining and the sun came out. And the trees understood and laughed.

She held up a finger and covered a star. "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
"Wasn’t that Carl Sagan?" He asked.
"It's true." She said. "We give the universe a reason to exist. I think it should be grateful."
He looked at the star behind her finger.
"How do you know it's not?"

‘Ever look back on your life and wonder if you made the right decisions?’
‘Of course. When I was young, I was pretty cocky with a low tolerance for stupidity. Now that I’m older, I’m full of #regret for the people I lost over the years.’
‘Same.’
‘Oh? So you were a trail guide too?’

Longing and #regret— like two peas in a pod. How I wish I'd kept those pods. Back when times were peaceful and soup was plentiful. I would dearly love some pea soup right now. But alas, there's no profit in mourning those peas-full days when the soup bowls and I were both plenty-full.

I don't understand—

I never
