Put into words

 an elusive relationship built too close to the highway of life

Looking at current a news story

 Tennessee execution debacle. A a girl brutally murders another. Later blames her behavior on her past trauma. Now she is being kept alive.  The longer this drags on the conversation turns to distortions on known information. To kill someone because someone else hurt you is wholly ridiculous.  To be truly remorseful is the goal. Now she is basically trapped in a laboratory setting. Where while trying to keep her alive, medical data is being gathered. Yeah it's icky but it's what is happening. People are going to naturally form opinions. Underlying issues coming into focus.

How to protect innocent people. What behavior qualifies for sympathy. Does unresolved trauma become a contagious disease. What are the effects of pentobarbital on isolated tissue. Is there a time limit on how long it takes a person on death row to die. Minutes, seconds, hours, days. Is life in prison seen as trapping the demon.

Fig leaf fashion, ashtray, alibi

fingers to the bone, squeeze the life out of everything repurposed flour sacks, living hand to mouth. Pockets filled with makeshift trinkets to extract found treasures that providence has put in your path. Clothes are being designed to look like you survived the apocalypse, and dug textiles out of the rubble.  Pieced together an outfit that harkens back to better days. To be worn in the modern world where you  buy over priced fast food, or coffee wearing over priced clothes that look like you are a street waif living on the brink of insanity.  Going into brightly lit spaces redesigned and prettyied up like everything is fabulous and your dingy wardrobe is your Sunday best. Back when Sunday meant you rest and give thanks to your Creator. The priest warns of the evils of greed, and being too vain.  Modesty and charity. Demanding focused fixation,  Cleanliness, socially conscious presentability. Pay your taxes, pay your tithes. *Poof* ... the smoke clears ... your vision regains focus. You start to push out the intruders that lobbied their intentions onto the public, into the public square. Even the multiple choice survey doesn't really offer variety. 

Odd things happen at equinox and solstice

 Yesterday seemed like it extended extra long. We are nearest the outer edges. We are on the outer edges of the season. Long shadows, slow sunset. I like if it's called Autumn, or Fall. It's like this time of year is so loved it has numerous endearing nicknames.

Harvest and spooky come to mind. Along with the potential spark of static electricity

Careful on the internet

 

Two stories in the news this week

 Two news items that sounded equally silly to my ears, and my eyes. 

An ad using sex to entice users to gamble on their platform.  I never knew people needed to be enticed sexually to gamble.  Ha it made me think of half dressed wanton grandma's playing Bingo, and putting money into old fashion washing machines, being careful they don't catch their tits in a ringer.

The Fed raised interest rates. This one tickled my funny bone too. I thought of:

Inflation and Record Profits walk into a bar. Ta-Da

This one went a bit deeper and reminded me of the delusional state that can be created when there is access to too much, or too little. The grandiosity that comes with over indulgence, or deprivation can activate a God complex. This can turn into seemingly prophetic visions. Channeling a prophet, but it's a profit. A profit margin. No no a Prophet named Margin. The Prophet Margin told me...this or that.  I had been thinking of this Prophet Margin character for awhile and wondering why no one has ever used it to further their agenda. Or used as a alibi. Who knows maybe modern psychos take themselves serious.

I asked AI to use certain criteria to make this list

Crossword puzzles

 I worked a crossword puzzle yesterday. It was in a magazine. I needed a pen. While going through the clues I became irritated. Why, because the puzzle was designed for people that play crosswords regularly. The high amount of known filler words. I thought I'd be edified by working the puzzle, but had my brain filled with nonsense.  I stepped away from the puzzle noticing I was starting to think cross words about the crossword. When I began to regain claim my senses, I said Cross words appealing to Jesus to reframe my focus.
