Trickster-Text Thursday: Linguistic Disturbance
Meaning Is Slightly Unsupervised Here (Activity) Let Language Loosen, Giving Linguistic Disturbance (Exercise) Post one to five lines where language bends, slips, or misbehaves. Short. Witty. Unpolished. (Micro Poem) Let meaning drift just far enough to notice. Topic: Con Artist 🎭 Some words have been hiding a little deception in plain sight! Choose a word beginning with “CON” and expose the con hiding inside it. Connection. Confidence. Conversation. Consideration. Make the word betray its own meaning. The Challenge: One word. One suspicious prefix. Up to five lines of linguistic mischief. _________ My Example: I thought we were having a CONversation. Turns out you were just CONverting my words into evidence. Some people don’t communicate; they cross-examine. The con is in the word. Your job is to catch it.

AFTERTONGUE™ WORD DROP #050: PONDERAL ✦
Some things enter the room before you do. A promise you made years ago. A decision whose consequences kept traveling. A responsibility that quietly acquired more gravity while everybody was busy calling it manageable. Ponderal names significance you can feel. Weight becomes information when you stop measuring it by how gracefully you carry it. What matters exerts force. It changes pace, posture, and what becomes possible next. There are choices that weigh ounces when made and entire histories once lived. What in your life carries more consequence than you originally understood? ✨ SEAL OF ENOUGHNESS ✨ I carry what matters with intention.

Vulnerability will have you leaning on those you think got your back. Their confidence in how they speak to you is wild. Forgetting that the players/playing field are equal. So to say I was blindsided is an understatement. The ponderal tension was heavy, with holding back what comes natural. Had to remember where I was and the lack of options I have.
FREE FLOW FRIDAY
(Activity) Open Expression (Exercise) Create freely in response to the week. Any form. Any length. Any Topic. You Choose. Follow Momentum.  Here’s My Offering (Example): How does one heal from betrayal and disrespect from a person you valued like family, during a time you’re on the mend from days at a hospital? This one? Myself? Keep moving with the well laid plans I’ve had on the calendar for months. And with a change to the quote “one asshole don’t stop no show.” The world keeps spinning on its axis. But at least I know now where I stand. #karmapleasebeswift #fallbackonthehorizon #revelaton Now you Follow The Flow.
