A Day at the Planet

I wrote the news today, oh boy

Young Jimmy Olsen shot some pics for me

While Lois Lane shared the byline

And Perry edited
He liked Jim's photograph

Basebrownbeating

My tin cup runneth over
The brown baseball
Saving the base runner
From a cleat gouging
At the hands (feet) of a first baseman
With an irrational grudge
No rhyme, no reason, no meter, no bathos
Or is there?

Whorl Without End

Beyond the source wall at the terminator between the inner mind and the outer limits 
Awaits a twilight zone reflected in a black mirror, a night gallery of amazing stories
It's a short trek--
We'll see you on the other side

Liminal Gaze

If the hallway would simply pitch 90 perfect degrees forward
I could spread my arms and fly through the infinite
Forever falling, forever free, forever forgiven
But I cannot oblige these liminal spaces
These haunted places with invisible faces
Who lure me inside to hope
And to die
And to nope
That's no lie

Liminal Impact


Nostalgia drew me here
To this place of dust and rot
Where once echoes laughed
And chimes interjected
The smell of a wheat field after soft rains
Seems out of place here, where nothing living remains
Just mirages in a mirror
Left behind to reflect 
On the nothings and nowheres

Liminal Effort

I can't say what compelled me
The door was open and a ray of sunlight revealed warped floorboards so I 
Went inside and the boards creaked under my weight 
There was an old locket in that beam of sunlight so I
Stooped to claim it but there was a sound from
The shadowed hall beyond like
Claws ripping at the couch cushions and then stopping suddenly
And I looked down that hallway, locket in hand--it was cold--
And I decided to back out but it was too--

Into the Uncanny Valley

I asked Stable Diffusion to create a portrait of the Addams Family had they been in a film directed by James Whale.

Star Controls


I tried to convince Stable Diffusion to replicate the famous Atari logo set against a starfield background, but this is what it came up with. I think they'd serve nicely as control surfaces or instruments on a 1970s science fiction show.

Dirty Harry as an Action Figure with Ten Points of Articulation















I find it interesting how Stable Diffusion not only captures Clint Eastwood's likeness as it might be rendered in plastic, but also its choice of setting and costume. Pretty amazing, really. And the poses!
