I am an imaginative existentialist-anarchist that feels that this video humorously gets to the heart of cat ennui, but also the anguish of the individual in a conforming society that restricts their ability to fully realize their autonomy




Dinner last night from a recipe on Just One Cookbook: "Omurice (Japanese Omelette Rice) オムライス"


Signs I Can No Longer Avoid
by Wesley Houp

Only the gasping crow
in Wendy’s parking lot
cares less for himself.

His murder leaves him to a last meal
and rides out the storm nearby
in a dead locust
like old snags of black plastic
left by a flood,
half notes on the staff
of an apocalypse.

The tornado touches down
in a blind-spot
and uproots a dusty barn
full of retired pigeons
with no insurance.
They circle twice
and return to roost in the ruins.

A long, harsh winter
followed by a cold, dry spring
wilts the crocus-tips of dreams.
Behind the urgent treatment center
a stray cat licks grease out of some ashes.
