Changing The Rules: Where The New Terminator, Dark Fate, Went Wrong

Quick note: I will not be covering Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator: Salvation, or Terminator: Genisys as the recently released Terminator: Dark Fate doesn’t recognize the events of those films, essentially removing them from the official canon. Besides, in terms of how each movie handles the concept of time, Rise of the Machines…

Recession

I’d cry if I could be sad, shout if I could be mad, expect something different if different wasn’t always the same. I’d sing a tearful song, hold a note just as long as I can hold a smile that means nothing to me or you. When the day comes ‘round light is no longer…

Lackadaisical

Where does that feeling go When the last of us are gone The last of us who know A storm is a torn sky In which all that is cleansed Is all that must die A death is a raw wound To both born and reborn Deceived in their doom It’s harder to pretend It’s…

Spirits

I am spirit in a world of spirits. They rattle motionless smiles curving upwards to caring eyes glistening reflections of the mellow moon. They have no agenda but to be, but to exist, simply be. To pass with time as time passes with them. Not by them, with them, for time is a spirit as…

Limitless

Each day, a life’s memories flash, each day, a life’s memories haunt on a journey seeking to heal, on a journey seeking to daunt. A treasure of loving hope. A treasure of deep regret. A treasure of no more words. A treasure of fate not set. A treasure of darkest paths. A treasure of lighted…

Our Time

Time is not a slave to space nor hands on a clock face. It is not what science thinks, not in or out of sync. It’s not Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday; those are labels someone made that we were trained to follow, but look at them closely, hollow. It is the fire in which we…

Advent

I didn’t lose faith in humanity, humanity robbed me of faith shard by shard rhyme by rhyme time by time year to year month to month week to week day by day hour by hour minute by minute I was made to stray as they crushed my hope, as they bent my will away, person…

Evaporate

The expanding sun lords over shrinking shimmering reflections of moments leaving their impressions on nothing at all. Colors scatter along surfaces making delicate room for loose pigments of the imagination to float by. Memories fade into recollections of the best of times, which cling with each fibrous breath to each breath keeping them lit. Only…

View

I don’t care if you care or don’t That’s not what holds me up It never was I don’t exist how you exist That’s not why I’m here It never is I don’t feel things the way you feel them That’s not who pushes me It never will be How long can I keep fooling…

In Case Of Emergency

In every time comes a time when moments brew drifting thoughts attempting to disarm the haze covering truth captured in glass. That time when sad music thwarts sadness, when melancholy is just another word that you want to purposely mispronounce. When offensive remarks shatter worlds because they have nothing better to do than be interpreted…
