The fallen illusion

is really three collusions with a dash of disbelief in life’s recursive farrago. This is the greatest scrounger adaptation of workroom tankards — thanks to kidney chars and sharp assemblies — it’s all dark entries.

A crude map that threshes and deepens King Psychobabble’s reign — a thief of bicycle and gun. The fist-handkerchief advisor but a whiff of keening perfume — all treacle and malt. The wind on our cheeks that are pustuled and sloughed.

This is most unsatisfying. What does this mean?

There’s a thread here, though it’s frayed. Allay my fear of all that does not make sense.

Reform and wrapper of cyclone pompadours blown about by jet exhaust. The moribund dictator traces a line in the air visible only to him. A diplomat drowns his sorrow in pickle lemonade — her electrolytes askew — she’s in the early stage of acute renal failure. The moss fires roil unchecked in the distance.

You have hubbub willpower, my phone has 5% power, and here the bench-seating is plush. There’s a dangerous strain about and you are too aloof at this hour. So I’ll bid my heathen adieu and chew on this brittle molybdenum cotton candy dipped in lye and hardened by your lies.

I’m numb to your iguana cadences. I’m hearing a disembodied voice with bad intent.

There is no meaning, just human savagery barely contained. Make way!

What I’m Reading:

A new study has found that bicycle lanes, especially those with physical or visual barriers, can have a calming effect on traffic.
According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), crashes involving motor vehicles are a leading cause of death in the United States among individuals younger than 55 years old.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reported in 2022 that bicycle lanes could reduce crashes on local roads by between 30% and 49%.
