I have eaten
the brain
that was in
RFK Jr

and which
he was probably
saving
to run for President

forgive me
it was delicious
and I am just
a worm

@VeryBadLlama Would you still love me if I was a worm eating RFK Jr's tiny brain?

@VeryBadLlama
De Vermis
The worm drives helically through the wood
And does not know the dust left in the bore
Once made the table integral and good;
And suddenly the crystal hits the floor.
Electrons find their paths in subtle ways,
A massless eddy in a trail of smoke;
The names of lovers, light of other days --
Perhaps you will not miss them. That's the joke.

@VeryBadLlama
The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.

@VeryBadLlama
I regret
to inform you
that brain was full of mercury
and so you died

@VeryBadLlama you posted this 4 hours ago but Lana posted hers 9. Just asking! @Lana

@VeryBadLlama y’all thought I was a caterpillar.

@VeryBadLlama

You have to wonder if the worm died of shock when it found itself in RFK Jr's brain.

@VeryBadLlama This has to be accompanied by badly played congas, a base guitar out of sight, cigarette smoke, stretched out to at least two minutes of performance

@VeryBadLlama In the profaned halls of governance, where shadows cast long, and truth slinks into obscurity, it becomes evident that the requisite for those who wield power is not an intellect sharp as the guillotine's blade but rather an ego vast as the spheres and principles as malleable as clay. Here, in this grand theater of vanities, politicians need not burden themselves with the weight of cerebral endeavors. No, what they require is but a mirror's sheen to reflect back for each supporter a caricature of their ill-formed vision of a savior, a visage onto which the masses may paint their fervent hopes and wildest dreams. In this masquerade, the mind is but a secondary player; it is the heart's folly and the soul’s vanity that grants the politicians the power freely given by the governed.
