I am soft today.
Gentle and receptive.
All the motion of the world
Pours through, in
Vast and airy
Rivers.

Microwave burglary. It was hot and it was here. Now there’s just speckles and steam. Did someone actually take my coffee?

[Michael Ackroyd @ahappypickle]

Alarm, something approximating breakfast, nicotine lozenge, green tea in place of coffee, 2nd cup, 3rd cup. #KillingEve sound design is clever, procrastination prods me into the self-flagellation zone, itchy but not itchy enough to itch. So serious all the time. Very, very dull.

1:47am was late once. Bringing that thick fear of overshot-bedtime whiplash. Now it stares at me too often.

But I still dream
Of 10pm bedtimes
And the rising sun.
Of vertical digestion,
And no fkn chirpy fkn chirp chirps.

Of six
glorious
sleep cycles,
I still dream.

[Michael Ackroyd @ahappypickle]

Always looking for what isn’t now filling the senses. Behind all
action,
a hair-thin trickle
of unlived
and unforgotten things.

Spotify is 16 years old, billions invested, went public making investors a boatload, barely turns a profit. No new ideas.

Still vaunted as the most plausible future model for music.

Opensea likely makes 9 figures profit yearly. Artists happy.

When does the narrative shift?

[Michael Ackroyd @ahappypickle]

A tenant in turmoil; tonight I will do what must be done. De-cobweb the unlooked-at pots and pans on the top shelf, face the otherworldly grime under the bathroom sink, dash the hopes of the happily propagating moths and their wriggling larvae behind the fridge. Truly terrifying.

Trigger happy calm, kitchen appliances scream, I fake you out, I make bread for the 4th time in my life, kneed dough, flour under my fingernails, cool head in cool air, anxieties flaring out across the floorboards.

Why is this funnier cause I lost $8K and just got my card declined trying to buy bread and 3 tomatoes. 😂 #Lunacrash

Class of 2017 vs Class of 2021

[Michael Ackroyd @ahappypickle]

My teeth grind and
I tweet here for no one, yet.
The days are long and heavy,
Nights yawn-filled and itchy eyed.
Tooth and nail I fight to accept my body, make peace with my limitations, carve out the dream I am so desperate to live within.

[Michael Ackroyd @ahappypickle]

If I don’t finish my album by the 30th of June 2022, I will cut off my toe-lids and bake them into a small pastry, hold a market stall selling a variety of small pastries, and promptly surrender to the celestial authorities for a cosmic spanking.
