History / Hemphill + Rivera
Essex Hemphill wrote in the teeth of a plague, when the men in pulpits called the dying deserved. Thirty-four years later a pastor recycles the same machinery. We kept reaching for each other anyway. The fear was theirs. The tenderness was ours.

When oft you feel a mighty need
To play games fast, recall this creed:
No matter what your random seed,
There is no cap on backwards speed.
When forwards fast you want to go,
There's something big you need to know:
Negated numbers grow and grow!
There is no cap on backwards speed.
And so from front avert your face
If you would win the glitching race;
It's true in almost every case!
There is no cap on backwards speed.

The New Republic | Once by Lawrence Joseph
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article features a lyrical poem by Lawrence Joseph, dated May 21 2026, that weaves together vivid, dream‑like images—from smoke‑filled skies and wind‑blown alleys to a rusted Cadillac in milkweed, October snow over Lake Huron, and a lost young man weeping by railroad tracks in Carey, Ohio—while reflecting on themes of consciousness, labor, nature, and redemption. The piece closes by noting that Joseph’s most recent poetry collection is *A Certain Clarity* and invites readers to read more in the June 2026 issue of Magazine, Poetry.

Kiss a dragon on the cheek,
They will blush and give a squeak!
Kiss a dragon on the snout,
They will wag their tail about!
Kiss a dragon on the ear,
They will grin and wiggle their rear!
Kiss a dragon in their mane,
Their love for you will never wane!
Kiss a dragon on their tum,
They'll think you're mega awesome!
Kiss a dragon on their tail,
They'll giggle lots without fail!
Kiss a dragon on the chin,
They'll be sure to give a grin!
Kiss a dragon between their eyes,
They will melt and give a sigh!
Kiss a dragon everywhere,
You might just end up in their lair!

"What's on your mind?"
The Fedi post box asks.
I try to think,
The hardest of tasks!
I could say something clever,
Or write a shitpost or two,
I could post a picture,
Or ask Fedi "How are you?"
The cursor blinks,
It lies in wait
For me to choose
My Fedi fate.
I take a breath,
And I begin
To write the post
That I'm now in.
Alright, that's done
Thanks for reading... So, um
I hoped you liked
My Fedi post poem.

I have watched a raindrop caress a flower
with the tenderness of a lover
and found more meaning in that moment
where it clings to the edge
than in the philosophies of men

HAND OUT SMILES
A small smile
can make all the difference
That tiny ray of light
might not seem like much
to a world full of sunshine
but to a world shrouded in shadow
it means everything
Just a small smile
There's no way to tell
who needs a smile
so why not give them
to everyone?
Just a simple smile
So let's hand them out
to everyone we see
and make the world
a brighter place

I'm reading a book of classical poems by Arab women, and found this gem from some 1000 years ago:
"Leave me alone, you’re not my equal, you’re not a man of the world nor a man of faith, yet you want to own me, you mindless twit."
(by Umm Ja'far bint Ali)
That's it. That's the whole poem.

The #MastoPrompt for Wednesday 6 May 2026 is:
#quirk
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.
