hungry?
this dish is served
a la Descartes blanche.
cogito, ergo
pass the mojito!—
tweaked over id’s ego.
to think—or not—
i lay me down
to nap in rot.

You could never lay down in rot, a very powerful piece. 🌹 Mint based
Teddy, haha this really landed…calling it powerful and then dropping “mint based” is just perfect. I love that. Appreciate you, my friend. 🍹🧠💀🙏
An y spinach in it? If not, Popeye don't fancy it! lol.
Orchi… haha, no spinach in this mix… Popeye’s gonna be real disappointed. This one swaps muscle for mind…though I’m not sure that trade ends well for him. Might have him staring at the can wondering what it all means. Always a good laugh with you, my friend. 🍹🧠💀🙏
and, of course...a glug!
Powerful words .Your poem may aim to provoke thought on the nature of existence, the balance between serious introspection and lighthearted living, and how philosophy can be both profound and absurd in the context of daily life.
Friendship… I really appreciate that. It lives right in that space where something feels profound one second and a little absurd the next…not trying to resolve it, just letting it sit there and breathe. I’m glad that tension came through. Thanks for reading it the way you did. 🍹🧠💀🙏
My type of drink Tittu🙏🏻🕊️
arqios… haha, then I’ll pour you a glass…goes down easy, but it tends to linger a bit longer than expected. Oopsies! My kind of drink too, my friend. Appreciate you having one with me! 🍹🧠💀🙏
So nicely written .
Priya… thank you, I really appreciate that. Glad it landed for you. 🍹🧠💀🙏
Nap!
Katie… haha, straight to it…nap might be the wisest takeaway from the whole thing. After all that thinking, sometimes you just shut it down and call it a day. Thanks for your time and thoughts, my friend. 🍹🧠💀🙏
I love the play in this work as it weaves its way between philosophy, culinary, psychology and neologisms. This fine stew makes for a great menu, Well done my friend
Soren… I really appreciate that, my friend. I had fun letting it wander between those spaces without settling too neatly…just letting the mix be what it is. I’m glad it came together as something you could savor. 🍹🧠💀🙏
Most welcome Tristan
Think a thought, choose not to settle for rot.
🥷… there she is! Haha, I like that…not settling for the rot…that’s a move right there. Good to have you back, my friend. 🍹🧠💀🙏
Yup ✌️
I'm back for now
Consider me out of the rot (:
