#washingtondc Wandering D.C. is either a visit to a dystopian state or a curse, there can be no other explanation. Listen to CURSE. Conclusion: Children understand the absurdity of the times we find ourselves. Like a Clockwork A temper tantrum at the White House a stranger filming as I haphazardly ask that you grow up act your age I’m the one struggling Wanting to keep you from showing emotion That isn’t fair. You care and were just letting me know how bad this blows the expectation isn’t matching the reality A Covid-19 scare Concertina wire everywhere What child would wanna be here? I don’t wanna be here And yet here we are Wearing a damn mask after a 12-hour road trip looking for parking and waiting in line to piss We are here. We just need to fake a smile walk another mile while you complain about needing a scooter, a bicycle or spaghetti Anything to keep from noticing your Dad isn’t with us this time we’re done faking it Poem by Maggs Vibo, 2020 Twas the 'Curse of the Ninth' ...obviously."

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
