TFS 28 – Perlenbacher, Carpentry Aspirations, and the Canadian Mushroom Feind


I talk about the thrifty goodness of Lidl and Aldis, which are right next to each other in my town. I got this premium Lager from Lidl and it’s decent. Frankly, this whole thing is a ramble where I talk about everything from my bookcase making idea to a dude who got loaded on psilocybin and ended up chasing an Oma with a weaponized broom handle.

The Distance Remained

What even is poetry?

I suppose it’s for when life is too weedy and wonderful for prose.

We waited a long time there in the brambles, amidst the tobacco smoke, we talked for hours. What were we on about? It didn’t matter. Together was wonderful.

She motioned towards the middle distance. A gesture altogether fitting for our joyous apocalypse.

Read me the story in the stars. That is what her eyes whispered.

I gathered myself. Trying very hard to remember all the echoes.

The distance remained.

Bewildered I sipped some of the coffee chilling steadily with the onset of evening.

I let the cicadas drown the question.

Beyond a billion years of bones nourished the trees that swayed amidst the rose tinged sky.

The South smelled of mildewed lumber and magnolia.

Her…

Little Care (Poem)

Image result for carolina old mill lexington


Trading tales

Out there

Where all else fails

Little care

She rests her head

On a shoulder

That’s long dead

Yeah she’s growing older

But still in circles

She wheels

The wreck through cycles

Bursts seals dance jigs and reels

Golden red

Sweet neck

Empty head

All hands on deck

To little care

Seaworthy

She’ll just stare

Too wordy

But just you wait

We’ll get there

Better then, yea better late

Silk hair

Paintbrush

Sketch a future

In tears and smiles

My suture

My little care whiles

My time away

Till

Skeletal

I’ve nothing to say

Be a scaffold

For burst roses

A tale that’s told

Forever

Of little care

That’ll never never

She’ll l just stare

Towards the horizon

My all my why

That the future lies on

Yea we’ll never die

TFS 23 – Coronavirus Lesion Study in Globalist Economics, Manufacturing, and Trans Frogs


Lesion studies are when you look at a damaged bit of tissue and match it to an impaired capacity to figure out its function, etc. Right now the economy is damaged by the Coronavirus. Something that let’s us see what the Fed really does, and diagnose the disease of relying on others for our manufacturing needs.

We need to bring manufacturing back so we can solve the hipster epidemic by putting them to work.

Atrazine is real. And it’s pretty much as crazy as Alex Jones.
