@rookie54 saidDear Diary,
dear diary,
the hallucinations are evolving
in addition to auditory and visual absurdities
i feel stuff happening
like hair standing up
i felt a thingie crawling in my boot
the dog snickered as i stripped screaming and squealing in the living room
dammit
i used to PAY for that sensation
dammit
I hope Rookie doesn't see this one either, but I wonder if maybe he has naturally developed or recovered the ability "to hear the stars" as the Bushmen of the Kalahari might put it.
dear diary,
i received my final notice
it seems my payment was declined
i don't know what to do about this
but it was easy to make it rhyme
i received my final notice
it came to me in the spam
if only i had a door to that room
that i could heartily slam
i received my final notice
only the twelfth one this year
all my pics and movies deleted
the pornography too, oh dear
dear diary,
dontcha just love feel good synchronicity stories that happen only on the internet and smell suspiciously of AI?
so in 1981 i'm hanging out on a corner in downtown chicago
the police roll up and the narcotics officer that gets outta the car is the same dang lieutenant that arrested me in norfolk, va in 1975
but this time, i wasn't holding so we high-fived and he told me to move along
brings a tear to my eye
@rookie54 saidThe recognition of a cold and wary love that could never be acknowledged, the sight of a body-cam that one might desire to munch, the mutual and tacit agreement that though some paths might cross from time to time, sometimes some people are never meant to connect.

[I did check with chatGPT re: typical closing cadences, but it seems its runners are already aware of that unpalatable and perhaps previous "feature" so I was left to fall upon my own resources to offer that attempt in mockery. Hoping you understand!]
@rookie54 saidIt's okay to feel pain.
dear diary,
i am again most stoic
standing in the rain
but an island never cries
and a rock feels no pain
If you were never here, who could feel your pains in all their particular flavors?
Something is better than nothing, or at least different from nothing.
Maybe you are already familiar with the life and writings of Ikkyuu?
Maybe provisionally I could venture: time enough for transcendence after we are gone.
While here, why not appreciate what no-one else could experience?
This is a unique opportunity.
Is there really any special merit to be gained by transcendence while still incarnate?
However, I do understand that some might scream "Why?" and I don't know the answer to that.
