sunday

stores open too late
to buy the last present
will the baby care?

update

airplane air
is terribly bad
but Amsterdam
airport fountain
has diving worms

leisurely view
of daughter's city
with shopping
shirt platter necklaces
and so much chocolate

in Turku

blogging after
breakfast fish
spouse sleeps

diference

unexpected
curl by her cheek
not the same vessel

hostile vistas

posting after
today may not be easy
August return

Rhysling winners

how many days so far?

I don't know where
the water came from this time
cometary rain

I coulda saved some postage

6-month voyage
to say happy birthday
how IS Earth nowadays

there was always that

A puzzler for Inspector Robinette


2000 kg frog
submerged in the lily pond
mail's late today

new sf story

gas masks chased in silver

many a dinner party ruined
by Rigellian fart bugs

Inappropriate uses of artificial intelligence

Voice recognition/disapproval software
Health advice from bathroom appliances
Backseat driving from the GPS
(we already have this one,
can the rest be far behind?)

most common use of time travel

yesterday
checked into 3 motel rooms
just to answer email
course everyone else
did the same

73% temporal studies PhDs are latina

senorita
wears a poppy not yet bred
our vanished world

thanks, Walt

A fellow with eight
arms walks into a bar
ouch

intergalactic cometary

launching Donnie
as we come around the Sun
see you in 86

kids would've talked us into it

trees popping
but we didn't go
seen 'em in my dreams

stir it up

A bone? A spear?


tall
urns
named for
ancient gods
guardian better
curator even companion
inside each is one true god but not much left of some


end

travels and travails

Just travels, really. I'll be in Finland July 16-31, and it won't be easy to update this blog.

the new currency

Gold, but not real gold
butter, actually,
golden, but squishy & organic,
which is much better anyway.
Gold?
U no can eat that!

crass politicizing

nuking ants is like
GOP analogies
no wait, it works

recursion

that last poem
referred to this one
indirectly

self-reference all over again

I owe two poems
whatever shall I do?

not again!

Thumbs down

bongos voted with their heads
artichokes with their hearts
wars have started over less
