On Doubt, Reality and a Wintry … Writer’s Block

Leave a reply

Time is money it is popularly said. Verily, both may be characterized as commodities;
but only time, between the two, is … perhaps … everlastingly real … (maybe).

“I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.” Famously uttered by Socrates, a prototypical
thinker … but I doubt even that in a world, so fraught … with delusions … ‘logical’.

And so to mitigate against a wintry writer’s block, I counter the slowing of arterial circulation
with ‘current events’ … a ‘fireplace’ … and copious amounts of ‘liquid … intervention’.

Prophesy … Oft is … but Educated Guess (II)

It’s time for Global Truth and Reconciliation. Whether you think we can, or might
think we can’t … you’re absolutely … right!

And so … AN ATLAS … POETIC; prose, poetry, tragedy, comedy … and … in
a surreal redaction … prophesy; nonfiction … posing as … fiction.

Tragi-comedic poetry because for a message globally dramatic, only poetry,
emotes more eloquently, than one may ever aspire to … prosaically.

Accordingly, via poetry melding Ovid’s on inexorable change and Emily’s letter
to the world … chachomanopapa … would a planet … better.

Therein, in poems to the global citizenry on change, the nonfictional emissaries
of the nations fictionally ask, “Of what good to our nations are … nationalities?”

AN ATLAS … POETIC; a poetic and prosaic tragi-comedy … and … yes,
prophesy too … for prophesy often is … but educated guess.

No mission impossible, however improbable, but verily, we’re running out of time.
The mission is to save the planet … one poem … at a time.

Who, or What, is Chachomanopapa?

Leave a reply

Who, or what, is chachomanopapa? Chachomanopapa’s a means to an end.
Viral, not physical, it is less a who, than
a what. It is many things. One is a symbol of an idea whose time’s at hand,
amongst them questions like, “What’s the plan … Stan?”

Every two syllables are the Spanish diminutives for, boy, brother and father,
fashioned into an evocatively provocative single
word. The transcendences we undergo from boys to fathers
and from girls to mothers, mirror our lives, our challenge-laden … crucibles.

Chachomanopapa’s meant to both noun and verb be; to be that place on the net
where we’re reborn, learn, earn, and transcend to views that come
into view, from atop the mountaintop from atop which Dr. King (who can forget),
dreamt of a world … more like … His Kingdom … come.

For global leaders in 2015, unemployment and rising income inequality may
top leaders’ concerns, a World Economic Forum (WEF) study said Friday.

The organization has drawn up a list of the top ten issues likely to preoccupy
leaders over the coming 12 to 18 months … nigh.

While many of the concerns listed have figured on previous WEF rankings,
the experts identified two new headaches … for decisions … pending.

One is rising geostrategic competition, for instance connected with ballooning
tensions between Russia and the West, in fourth place … ranking.

Lack of leadership, moved up from seventh to third; it’s a trend which of inaction
that impacts ” … all the other issues.” said WEF head Martina Larkin.

To my Sisters … and … to my Brothers

Leave a reply

In reality neither boy, nor father, nor biological brother (but to one) am I; however,
to more than seven billion citizens … I am … brother.

Brother to more than seven billion is chachomanopapa. He writes to brothers
and sisters, as he would have them … do unto him …their brother.

Brothers and sisters that share space on a planet that gets smaller by the minute.
Brothers and sisters: Let’s seize the day, and every minute … in it.

Seize the day and every minute in it. Would that we abnegate our nationalities
in order to best revere … and exalt … our humanity.

Lives are, in surreal reality, routinely disrupted by war or catastrophic illness;
but what an inconvenience, were football season rendered … meaningless.

What a specious species are we! Ebola seemed far and remote. Al-Baghdadi
seemed similarly, far away … we rationalized … delusionally.

Man-oh-man! What a specious species are we! Wrapped in complacency, we
live our illusions; one such delusion is: … THAT won’t happen … to ME!

What a difference mere moments can make! A virulent Ebola virus, in nonfiction,
competes with al-Baghdadi … its counter-part … human.

Bubblews … GREAT EXPECTATIONS … Popped (III)

Leave a reply
Mere months ago many wrote giddily (I amongst them) of the great expectations
of a business model … that threatened … social media institutions.

Written then: “Between posts, tweets and bubbles, in a jungle that is [media] only
the latter of book, bird and bubble … shares … its money.

Between book, bluebird and bubble, only the latter is the innovatively pioneering,
first, FAIR ecosystem of the internet … truly … sharing.

Chachomanopapa is a poster, a tweeter and a bubbler too, decidedly unhappy
that Zuckerberger’s Facebook book be such … a common … bully.

Chachomanopapa is a poster, a tweeter and a bubbler too, but Twitter offers
little more than shout-outs and sales pitches from … 140 characters.

Bubblews.com is the new kid on a block populated by bigger and tougher boys;
but this boy is his own man … a man-boy committed to sharing … his toys.

The new kid on the block is a visionary willing to rock this bubble of a boat. We
bubblers too must share its vision … and rock this boat … visionarily.

The new kid is a rock and roller … rocking and rolling … the powers that be;
for far more important … than money … is community.”

Alas, Bubblews is but a mere bubble. And, as we all know all too well, it is not
in the nature of a bubble … not … to pop.

Alas too, a larger and more vital bubble shall pop, when push comes to shove
and the hawks outnumber and/or … out-maneuver … the doves.

Alas too, God’s peoples, The Big Three, the Muslims, Christians and Jews, agree
to disagree … and follow primrose paths to … calamitous … prophesies.

ON WHY … ARTHUR WRITES

Leave a reply

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.

“TO BE … OR NOT TO BE ….”

Leave a reply

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.
