poop deck

this looks fine
all dry and crumbly
as you'd expect the scat to be
after seven days in the sun
we build cities out of it
and were prosperous
and happy
why are we disgusted now
by what is natural
by what only smells bad when fresh
if we are content to live in shit
we are content to live
if we insist on hiding it
we will always struggle.

WTF God?

This was one for the books. The first assignment went off routine. The second... was strange. Smurfet dislocated her shoulder right out the gate. Launch tore the masking and got his pants caught in the rafters. Spaz got a touch dehydrated and made a sloppy dismount at the end. It was the new ninja's first run. I'm fighting the virus everyone's passing around. It could have been a lot worse. Thank God and All That Is Good that it wasn't.

Spaz, don't break my heart.

Spaz, don't break my heart. What you did to that girl who wronged you was ten thousand times more selfish and painful than what she did to you. You wouldn't understand you're a boy. Even men have a hard time with this.

I didn't tell you how sad that story made me. I know it would have made you feel awkward about something you don't want to feel anything about. You said you'd never do something like it again and that you don't regret it. In fact you say you're kind of proud of it. But in your insistence of not being ashamed I see how badly you do feel about it. Bad luck Kneeler reminded you of her.

Strange you choose to tell me about it. I'm a writer, you know it will come out. Nothing will stay hidden. How will you choose to confess your sins? Boldly as yourself or through another person? Which will bring you peace?

to you
Inconceivable!
yet true


A thing was welling up in me
a love a life a song some say
a furry beast without a name
a cutely thing called mmmmf
(or something similar)
it frightened me and my inner child
we band together just to say
strange thing go away
did it go is it gone
oh dear I seem to have fur on.
