ON WHY … ARTHUR WRITES

Ours is a surreal and seemingly impossible mission in #twitterfiction;
forgive the trespasses of others, and be led not … into temptation.

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverted spirituality; the Muslim
Sunni and Shia reminiscent of, Catholics and Protestant, Christian.

It is supremely easy, #twitterfiction, for the talking heads to ignore me
(an individual) but ignoring a global community, won’t be … as easy.

Wanted, indeed, needed is a groundswell. One that abnegates surrealities
such as nationality, in #twitterfiction, in favor of … humanity.

Ergo, in #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS … POETIC; a prayer and a plea,
for Mandela-Tutu-like global truth and reconciliation … please.

In #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS, POETIC; poetry about history, sociology
and eschatology; irony in verse, for each nation … and territory.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY … SISTER

Sisters, whether or not, wives and mothers too, are but one of the blessings our Creator
bestows upon men … to make of lives … wonderful … adventures.

In one brother’s view, one sister, one mother’s daughter, Iris Yolanda, has been to him,
much more than just kin … she’s been a life-saver … inspiring.

Sisters, wives and mothers often reflect love much better than their counterpart humans,
we so-called wise men … refractors … of the masculine persuasion.

This date, July 12th, is a date special to the him that is kin to an extraordinary woman;
she … who brings out the best … in all of her beloved … men.

Extraordinary is the she that’s been a rock to a husband, a lone son and a lone brother, she
of the ready smile, kind words and … oh so logical … soliloquies.

Really, it’s of little wonder that Michael Louis, Louis Frank and I praise you rightly so highly;
for what … should have become of us … without you … nightly?

A PRAYER … AND A PLEA

In #twitterfiction-al nonfiction, the religious and nationalistic paradigm we voluntarily
allow to rule us is taking us down. Yet … it need not be …

… in #twitterfiction-al nonfiction, the religious and nationalistic paradigm we
are ruled by may be replaced by our over-arching humanity.

A seemingly impossible #twitterfiction-al vision, that an obviously failed paradigm be
replaced by a promising one, must be … our destiny.

In #twitterfiction-al nonfiction, the drumbeat message is “Don’t tread on me!”
Yet, it ought indubitably be … “Tread … with … me.”

And so, via nonfictional #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS POETIC; a prayer, and a heartfelt plea,
for Mandela-Tutu-like global truth and reconciliation … finally.

and eschatology, from epigrams, and a blog, unitary.

WHAT IN THE HELL … IS IS?

In #twitterfiction, the Islamic State of Syria and the Levant (ISIS) is now IS
(Islamic State). The question now is: What in the hell is IS?

What’s happening in nonfictional #twitterfiction? An Arab Spring; a Jihadi Summer;
political, global falls … lead to … nuclear, winters.

What’s happening in nonfictional #twitterfiction is simple really, albeit,
hard to understand. All roads lead to … desolate nuclear exits.

ON CALIPHATES … AND NATION-STATES

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverse spirituality; the Sunni and Shia Muslim
reminiscent of Catholics and Protestants … Christian.

In #twitterfiction, hate’s born of perverse spirituality and nationality,
whether in caliphates restored or nation-states … traditionally.

#Twitterfiction-al insight, more than hindsight, and more than foresight, best
illumes meaningfulness, from the shadow of … meaninglessness.

ON MEANINGFUL … MEANINGLESSNESS

Far more than hindsight and even more than foresight #twitterfiction-al insight best
illumes the light that is meaningfulness from the shadows of meaninglessness.

A QUESTION … THAT’S AN ANSWER

“To be or not to be ….” wrote the great Willy. It is time we #twitterfiction-ally
take a page from that play … and ponder its import … sagely.

What if, in #twitterfiction, we more routinely asked ourselves, to be, or not to be?
It’s a question … that’s an answer … alchemically.

“TO BE … OR NOT TO BE ….”

Acculturation, the modification of the original culture of individuals
or groups through prolonged contact with different cultures
has, up until recently, been a rare phenomenon. The internet’s potential
to acculturate … surely … is treasure.

Acculturation’s a natural process, not readily appreciated in the absence
of an expansive perspective, as, for example,
from the Creator’s point of view. In His view, irrelevant is difference,
but indifference … is … abominable.

Time for Global Truth and Reconciliation; surreally, whether you think we
can, or whether you think we can’t, you’re right, absolutely!
And so, The Wine and Cheese Miracles; prose, poetry, tragedy and comedy;
nonfiction … posing as fiction … ironically.

In poems melding Ovid’s and Emily’s about change and a letter, visionaries
ask of you: Of what good are borders and nationalities?
From a nonfictional dream, a poetic and prosaic tragi-comedy,
and prophesy too … for prediction … is prophesy.

Arthur prayed to his deity, He of the Jews, Christians and Muslims;
praying he’ll find … the missing Bohemians.
Allah/Jehovah/God/Yahweh as if answered in dreams: “Tweet to the denizens,
a blog and a book …. Write, to your global … co-citizens”.

Let’s take shortcuts in this surreal reality to peace and prosperity. Alchemically
speaking, the internet is the Philosopher’s Stone. We are … but one … only.
Let’s take shortcuts to peace and prosperity. Abnegate nationality. Accent humanity,
and upon what others have built … build atop it … opportunity.

And so, inspired by Ovid and Emily, Arthur wrote a fiction, non-fictionally.
This tribal nation-state thing is untenable … undeniably.
“To be … or not to be ….” So wrote the great Willy. It’s past time we
take a page from that play and ponder its implications … sagely.

ON OBLIVIOUSNESS

Seven billion global citizens; all but oblivious to one another. But to the extent that any
two or more share … in #twitterfiction … space-time-continuity …

… i.e., but when we touch, see, hear, smell, taste or otherwise surreally perceive another,
we are oblivious … in #twitterfiction … to our brother.

The internet is, in #twitterfiction, the God-given conduit whereby we might alchemically
transcend … to global peace … and global … prosperity.

In #twitterfiction, we’ll need do the only seemingly impossible; the abnegation of surrealities,
like nationality, in favor of the exaltation … of our humanity.

Time, in #twitterfiction,for Truth and Reconciliation; whether you think we can get it done
or you think we can’t … you’re absolutely … right … on.

See @chachomanopapa on Twitter, and chachomanopapa.wordpress.com., its blog-log analog,
for poetry, in #twitterfiction, about history, from tweets and a blog.

Poems melding Ovid’s and Emily’s; in poems to (wo)men about change, otherworldly visionaries
#twitterfiction-ally ask: Of what good are borders … and nationalities?

ON THE RIGHT … QUESTIONS

Arthur, the intestate layman, turned lawyer, turned lush … turned lyrical philosopher,
has learned invaluable truths … not in school … but asleep.
In an otherworldly realm between life and death, answered has been Arthur’s plaintive prayer:
What if … from “what if” … rich harvests … we reap?

And what if from the corollary “to be or not to be” … untold benefits, we similarly … reap?
And what if, come an inaugural ‘global citizenship day’,
wide awake, we await the transcendence, that may then take place? What if awake, not asleep,
we cast away … tried … and tired … old ways?
