let's play footsie with death again one little piggy two little piggy hickory-dickory TikTok rockets doomsday clocks ten seconds to midnight ten-nine-eight-seven-six little piggy how many nukes can a nuke-chuck chuck little piggy little piggy blow your house down I smell roast pork little piggy
The honest and sad truth behind your words is something I think many of us are questioning and feeling right now. It seems that some souls have no remorse, or regard for fellow humans. I think pig could be one word to call those souls. I always love how you can say something that is deeply serious in such a lighter way, that it makes us see it even more deeply. Always glad when you join in at the Muse Qbit!

I feel to be part of the careening herd. You capture the frantic nature of it, where harm could and is everywhere and no idea where shelter may be.

I read this yesterday but I must not have had coffee yet or something, cos it seems I did not comment. How many nukes can a nuke-chuck chuck? I don’t know, but they can save up to 15% on car insurance except in the greater Pripyat area.

Btw, Blogger won’t let me add you to my side bar. That is, I can add you, but it just puts “quantumverse” down at the bottom along with another blog it has decided it doesn’t like, with no most recent post. 😦

As you say exactly. The game of power and invasion is invested with a dark heartless core.

This should be in a movie script—a scene in which a madman is chopping off toes. Very Quentin Tarantino.

Yes, this is very apt. This morning am watching civilians fleeing on foot, clutching their babies and dogs, being gunned down in the street. Absolutely unbelievable.

The contrast between children’s stories, and the horrors of war was an incredible to write this. Makes for a very powerful poem.
