rand0m th0ught #107

in their confident voices, I hear only ignorance

but than again

my fly has been down all morning —

naturally

rand0m th0ught #104

look a little less

in the mirror,

and a little more

inward,

it’s funny, telling all this

to my reflection

rand0m th0ught #102

if a child falls

in Bushwick, Brooklyn

but there is no one around to hear them

do they make a sound?

*Footnote: #101

random thoughts: we all have them, every second of everyday, so it’s no surprise when they pop up from time to time in the least and even a lot of times, expected places, like, hey, I was just thinking that, that’s my idea, or a kind of, sort of, variation of what I was thinking when doing X and Y throughout the day.

We’re very much alike even though it can feel like we’re so very different, but different in a good kind of way, a constructive way, a way that universalizes our emotions and expectations of ourselves and others around us.

I can almost guarantee you have more in common with the guy bagging your groceries, or pouring your latte than you do with fellow employees, or even some friends for that matter.

So, I’d like to propose that these rand0m th0ughts be an open platform to share, discuss, question, debate, relate, or even just to vent, with purpose of course, how full of crap menial thoughts throughout the day really are – perhaps they’re not?

Let’s decide together.

Conversation is key, and I look forward to hearing back from you readers, writers, and all around daily thinkers of rand0m th0ught.

give em hell

You are not great

You are not special

You’re another puzzle piece,

a letter of scrabble.

But spell great without the G,

or special when missing a C,

place yourself wherever you fit

it’s for them you’ve got to be

they’ll take credit either way, so

if and when you tell

listen son, be a good girl now, when you’re all worn out

it’s best to give em hell.

Untitled for,

all

breathe

Get out of
bed

Untangle from
sheets

And
breathe

Each day
new

Another crack at
life

option C

Surely, this, isn’t, healthy

but the alternative just seems

so entirely soul crushing

that if this, is, so, unhealthy

than there surely must be

an option C: since A & B

are now, defunct.

It came scarlet red

It happened one night

then again,

and another.

It spread like a plague,

unbiased wildfire.

It couldn’t be contained

or shocked from the brain

It came scarlet red, burnt bright

in a pyre, it’s beauty, arcane

giving hope to the choir.

Shh…

knowledge

can be the most powerful form

of despair

Shh…
