Recommendations
lead down the rabbit hole to
new musical lands.
Anybody want to listen to some power metal/melodic death metal? Unleash the Archers had popped up in my YouTube recommendations before, but none of their songs caught my ears until the one below. After listening more closely, I’ve just ordered this album Apex off their site.

Delaying one vote
and criticizing the same
is power gone mad.

Why write on writing
when the story itself glares,

This is my lame excuse for not having a meatier post this week. I really just want to finish my short story. Hopefully, I’ll not waste this opportunity and have good news on that front next week.
A menial task
becomes a temporary

to distract from bigger tasks,
or one major change.

Familiar places,
unfamiliar surroundings.

We went out to a couple breweries today, and it honestly caught me off guard having to actively think about social distancing rules in a public space. I’m not against such rules at all — in fact, I’m really proud of how cautious the state of Maryland has been through this pandemic. It’s just strange to be out in an otherwise casual setting and have to rethink how I interact with people there.
June humidity
gives way to pattering rain
and quiet respite.

Splattered and speckled,
like a broken salt shaker.
New paint on old clothes.
