yikes...the borg are here...smiles...wonder if she has ever thought about hitting the reset button on this program...smiles. nice write man
ReplyDelete.....Want to play a game....Global Thermonuclear war?....it has begun....naked time travelers are here...pandora's box has been opened...doomed....
ReplyDeletehahaha all came about as I read, in my head, another great verse!
great verse as always...laughing at bri's comment...there should be a reset button on life sometimes..
ReplyDeleteAmazing write from you again. Deep, dark, truthful.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but X Factor Audition Take 1 gave me shivers! I have to run but I'll be back for a better comment when I'm done teaching. Pavlovian conditioning with no hope of extinction (like the plasma fire). Anita Ward sings 'You can ring my bell' in tribute - ha!
ReplyDeleteAmazing write!
ReplyDeleteLove that chilling ending,
ReplyDelete"The rearrangement of things

And the video is cool. Your eyes stand out like bright blue lights in the darkness :) Loved to hear verse I've already read recited by you in a creative way. Very cool! Keep'em coming!
Nice write. Indeed, "It has begun". I often feel like I'm stuck in the Matrix-esque maze of ones and zeros. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteArron, I felt stark and surrounded by corners and has anyone witnessed a bird dying a natural death? Astounding, otherworldly. (she clicks to play the video again, something fascinating about the eerie, motionless monotone presentation) Yeah, great eyes, too. ;)

Really got into the new post--birds ARE dinosaurs, but you took that one to another level. Birdie deletion, (only you) commuters crushed into avian computers--and the mainframe has way too many glitches for my taste; not sure if I had that potion I'd feel very comfortable with enabling all that, --then I played the video--speechless now. That poem was black enough inked on the page(virtually) but bringing it into not so dead meat swinging in front of the camera made it black as burned blood. Great presentation of a bitchin piece.
ReplyDeleteAnother poem and another splendid delivery. The abstractions are crazy cool here coming just above the wicked language awareness. Great write, thanks

This made me cry the second time through (on the first visit I didn't want to think about it). I just had an argument with a friend about the rate of extinction a couple days ago. Also, I am in the midst of composing a requiem for the unsung using bells and this struck me at my core.
Arron, Arron, Arron! You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful profundity in your poems! Each one is a gem!
ReplyDeleteI really resonate to your skill and craftsmanship!

Loved it! What more can I say!

OH! This carried me along and blew me away. The imagery, intimations and imagination to create them boggle my mind. You are a modern day word-Dali!
ReplyDeleteThink I'm starting to see through this one now, 'irregular beyond common comprehension...continuum disruption' this seems key to me here in working out the meaning behind the piece. Very interesting exploration and it begs to be read multiple times in order to grasp the depths held within...fantastic as ever Arron.
ReplyDeleteReally a deep write and then I hit play so wow!
ReplyDeleteYou are a good reader, too.
Your work just sings along so smoothly.
"It has begun" coo....deep, intense writing. Naturally, I love it! And wow! The clip is amazing, Arron.
ReplyDeleteSo amazing seems like the borgs are coming here no they are here and we need to move on or try and stop them

very impressed.
ReplyDeletekeep it up.
Damn, this is chilling.
ReplyDeleteThis piece really sings for the complexity
