Left in the Limelight ©️

In the grand, teetering ballroom of modern ideals, where chandeliers flicker with borrowed light, the left-leaning darlings twirl, cloaked in their self-spun sainthood, and oh, how they dazzle themselves. They are the anointed, the poets of progress, lips pursed with purpose, eyes alight with the fever of their own myth. But darling, lean closer—past the perfume of their rhetoric—and you’ll catch the whiff of something sour, something hypocritical, curling like smoke beneath their satin hems. It’s a psychosis, my dear, a glittering madness, and I am done with their masquerade.

They speak of money as if it were a sin they’ve never kissed, their voices trembling with rehearsed disdain. Capitalism, they sigh, is a beast, a devourer of souls. Yet there they are, sipping cortados at cafes that charge six dollars a dream, their laptops adorned with stickers of rebellion, bought from the very empires they decry. They don’t hate money, no, no—they crave it, as fervently as any Wall Street wolf. They chase it in grants, in speaking fees, in the soft clink of crowdfunding coins, all while draped in the costume of ascetic virtue. It’s a performance, and they’re the stars, clutching their pearls while their wallets purr. Hypocrisy? It’s their lipstick, smeared across every vow.

And oh, the plans they weave! They stand atop their soapboxes, hair tossed like prophets, proclaiming blueprints for a world reborn. Equality! Justice! A planet cradled in green! But press them, darling, nudge their gospel with a single question, and watch the tapestry unravel. Their answers are air—lovely, fleeting, useless. They’re as lost as the rest of us, floundering in the chaos of existence, but they dress their ignorance in jargon, in hashtags, in the smug certainty of the lecture hall. Their vision isn’t clarity; it’s control, swathed in compassion’s silk. They’ll save you, they swear, but only if you kneel to their script. Clueless? Utterly. Yet they waltz on, blind to their own stumbles.

The contradictions pile like sequins in a seamstress’s lap. They preach tolerance, but their hearts are guillotines, slicing dissent with a smile. They champion freedom until it speaks in tones they don’t approve. They wail of division while carving the world into saints and sinners, their fingers dripping with the ink of judgment. It’s a fevered dance, this psychosis, where every flaw is flung outward, every mirror dodged. They are the heroes of their own fable, and woe to the fool who dares rewrite the tale.

I’m through, my loves, with their shimmering charade. They are not the oracles they imagine, nor the saviors they play. They’re mortals, messy and grasping, cloaked in a delusion so lush it could choke a garden. Let them spin, let them preen, let them drip with their own invented radiance. But I’ll be in the corner, sipping truth from a chipped glass, watching their masks slip, one glorious, hypocritical thread at a time.

A Quiet Exodus ©️

This isn’t just moving day. It’s a soft reboot of the simulation.

I wake up in Bozeman, but I’m already gone.

There’s a weightlessness to it—the couch I’m not taking, the bed I’m leaving behind like an old skin. No boxes, no clutter. Just a TV, some clothes, my nightstand, and the hum of old ghosts I’ve already said goodbye to.

I move slow on purpose. I breathe deeper. Each item I carry out is an offering, not a burden. I’m not rushing—I’m shaping the transfer.

Manhattan isn’t far. But the distance isn’t the point. Bozeman was pressure. A forge. A place that cracked me open and filled me with signal. But now I want wind, not wires. I want space again. I want the pause between thoughts. Manhattan gives me that. It’s smaller. Quieter. More intentional.

I drive like I’m floating. Not escaping, not arriving—just moving through. The mountains don’t care. The sky doesn’t blink. But I feel it—that click inside my chest, like the next page finally turned.

I don’t look back. Bozeman’s in me now. And when I unlock the new place in Manhattan, I don’t barge in. I stand still. I breathe. I say, “Let this be peace.”

Because I’m not just moving things. I’m recasting my field. And this time, I’m doing it right.
