Shifts Actions

From LAUREATE (2025)

For why I write these words

Gather to coagulate

Stop the bleeding

Importance dawning

Shifts actions

Why you write? (comes first: you must, because you're human, remember?)
Gather to coagulate? (to stop writing? Why?)
Stop the bleeding? (You just said that. Are you so determined to stop writing?)
Importance dawning? (Are you no longer human? Do you think if you no longer write you will be divine?) Pope wants to know if he is right.
Shifts actions? (Ah, there's the rub! Pope wants to know which you prefer.)
I say, restart the bleeding, regain your humanity. F**k Pope, he knows s**t.

Very good, always appreciate your unique take and vision of the world good sir- FlatDaddy. Keep on rockn in the free world. I really appreciate your remark- "to stop writing, why?"
It reminds me of the conundrum of depression- where we have this negative self talk without pushing back....

[FlatDaddy]

Just having a bit of fun with you, Brad. As one of the depressed, sometimes we have to press the medal to the peddle.

Ah yes. I see what you mean. Gun it to the hilt lead foot!

This is a espousement of how I write with who I am- whats inside.
I am making sense of this thing that emerges from no where and forces me to scramble to record. I scramble to record because it is important, I believe. And it is that which calls us to action, to change, to improve ourselves and assist others.

Hi Brad Dehler, I didn't have to think about this one...much. I mean, "bleeding"..."coagulate"..it just makes sense!
NOW, the REASON has me in the dark, but maybe Bukowski would have lived longer if he did not answer so many personal questions.
Good day to ya, Mon Frere.

What a gift you have to write these poetic words and make the reader pause, reflect and think. Thank you for sharing your writing.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you for the inspiration and encouraging words!!

Interesting to say the least! Re-invent self or situation or - both perhaps.
Join the party, don't stand alone, react. Life is real, not a stage play?

[Brad Dehler]

Yes! REAL. Not a stage play. You are really locking in here
