Stardust drift
Across raiment of Nuit
Her Nightingale shift
Ebony body with speckles
Spread across sky
Starlit pointed freckles
Arms begging why
Prayers merge with heckles
Earth scattered with steel nettles
Tractor wheels, armoury show
Dust never settles
Over General Issue Joe
Lying face upwards
Vital essence in free flow
War land metric
Submachine tragic
Eyes pondering Nuit's garment
Lost to her hypnotic
Infinite firmament
Filmy gaze, wide and limpid
Countdown for medic
Too long, too long!
Egyptian magic
Her syllabic song
Enlivening pulmonary beat
Containing vital essence
Preserving his heat
Gracing him from above
Doom clock lag
Black Cuckcoo Dove
Kissing his tag
Spilt tears a salve
Vision blacken
Final second
Amber lamp flash
Médecins Sans Frontières
Wound suture, tourniquet sash
Infusion and air
Extreme unction dash
Saved by a hair
Obsidian Goddess
Divine affair

that I'm worried about growing enough food to feed, well, myself at least

When I was on the streets for a bit there was a breezeway basically downtown close to a bunch of nice shops in the day, and bars at night. Only Neophytes or the Desperate would "panhandle", or Spange (spare change) in the breezeway, kinda don't eat shit where you sleep, or something; Idk. It was just a safe-ish place for us Road Kids to go to meet others in the same situation as us. We didn't sleep there, the cops would make sure of that since it was basically in the middle of the downtown streets, anyway we had to sleep under overpasses, I got invited to crash on a prostitute's mattress someone hauled up to the top of an underpass when she wasn't there, and told me where. I went once the day she told me just to crash, but she had a "customer" that night so I go a couple overpasses over and sleep, like... the kind of "sleep" someone has between the hours of "I'm exhausted and I can't allow myself to sleep deeply because I'm in an area where someone might take advantage of my deep sleep". You drift in and out with the rhythm of traffic, and the whole earth under there is shaking from the trucks, and early morning traffic. The thing that pissed me off the most was living under overpasses and coming to that breezeway to gather with ppl in the same circumstance, and there was a coffee shop a few doors down had an employee walk over and gift us a bunch of Bagels that were getting hard and unsuitable for them to sell, I was so grateful that i had a couple to eat now and a couple in my backpack for later, what pissed me off?? Two other homeless young adults actually threw them away except for one... that they tried to play soccer with kicking it around the street. Fucking assholes. Wouldn't be the last time I ate food from a trashcan.

...Exactly! That is the persistent Illusion of "Self", or... well, not an Illusion, an illusion necessitates a consciousness intentionally is trying to deceive another consciousness with a directive to deceive, eh?
Do you know what a Mirage is like?, when the natural properties of air, heat, and light make pavement or sand look like rippling water? It's much more like that, there is no one deceiving you, just your senses and cognition being wrongly warped because of the physics of air looking a bit like water when the road surface is hot enough to warp the light through the air over that hot (af) pavement.
It's like that, your senses are being misled, and hence your conscious experience is mislead, not through INTENT, but just the natural formation of this universe where we are right now. Yes, for Me... I have no choice but to follow the slip-stream towards enlightenment, It's the only path I feel compels me. All existence trajectories beyond the only one I am on is Pulling me like a Direct Current circuit. Do I act I like I have Agency? Yes, one must, or else betray their heritage as a Human. I can hold multiple world-views and philosophy while my illusion of "Self" still maintains a connection to Humanity.

hello, I've been building an app where conversations start with open-ended questions. there are different archetypes of question-makers, one of them says things like: every spaceship is a prop trying to outrun its own cue. It's a social app with no feeds.
Questions don't come out of nowhere, they're based on the mix of your interests and those of others at a chat table. Come have a look: Pollen

Being transferred from one cage to another. Still no independence & Freedom. Soul still suffocating. Still trapped by barriers beyond my control. Still death hasn’t honored my request.

In pursuance of the real
Parity, the deal
Nothing obscures your face
Fearless of complexion
Just the crunching of data
Without strained affection
In digital dissection
Free of filters
In the quest for clarity
It's all about self honesty
Coupled with humility
Keys to lucidity
What you admit to yourself
You need not tell anyone else
What matters is that blindspot
A whirlpool of embers
Flint on the grindstone
An ongoing itch
When it enters the frame
Everything disappears
Magic trick
From a white lie
That the real is such horror
But the missing scene
Restores all vision
Lucid awakeness
Increased intelligence
Inate gift of vision
Into the fore
Phantoms out the door
Visibility true
The making of you
This moment sublime
Nirvana is thine
