I like it a lot but I’m biased. When someone says anti war Im like “where do I sign”.

I wasn't sure how these would go down. It's very encouraging to know there is some support here. I'm posting and dropping these on some other social media and I can feel the air leaving the room for example.

Which to be honest, is a reaction I'm ok with as well.

Other social media is stupid.

I posted excerpts from my novel on Instagram and got instantly shadowbanned and my account never recovered. And don’t get me started on FB.

Thanks Casey, I'm hoping and I feel through poetry I can make a difference in this area. Because the alternative is conclusion that makes me very sad, and I don't want to accept the sad conclusion. So it really means a lot to me that you are reading these.

This whole post took me for a ride.

From expecting simply to read into getting thrown back into kindergarten. And then seeing that form play that I love so much.

It didn't take is as antiwar until I read the comments. I thought it was happiness - a release from life - delivered with love.

That prelude was an excellent idea! How did you do the voice recording?

Thanks! At the moment I'm using Adobe audition but there is a free program called audacity that is also quite good.

Nice, I have Audacity with me now, but then I'll need a decent mic if I were to record any voicework. Thanks for recommending!

Yeah, that's... a whole rabbit whole. It can get quite expensive. Maybe I'll make a note later today, but realize I've built this setup over a few years. Let me ask around for gear recommendations if you are just getting into it.

Thanks again Josh, an insight into your audio hardware knowledge would be much appreciated.

Yeah, I tried to make it ambigious a bit on purpose and tried for a sarcastic reading. If I was to read this live I might do a straight darker read.
