booming sleeper of the devine,
awakened by this new born time,
electrified to deliver my rhyme.
// a fictionalive original
/
Humanoids, animals, spirits—
All beings, stand strong.
Let’s get to work—side by side with the machines.
Use any letter in our alphabet.
(from the Guardian & Seekers Series)
/
We are all tripping in this endless space, meal to meal, finger flicking—feeding body and soul, one track at a time. *fictionalive

/
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;
Where can we find two better hemispheres,
Without sharp north, without declining west?
Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
by John Donne (1572–1631)
/
If we can summon the dead to life, why not awaken the living?

There’s a party every time, any time—if you bring the swing
/
“It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”
Duke Ellington’s 1931 jazz anthem that introduced “swing” to the world—a timeless standard.
