Welcome to the Matrix.
Please be a hero.
Find the damn code
And divide it by zero.

Don’t count your Dragons before they hatch.
The Red one, the Green one,
and the Purple One With Blue Stripes And Green Polka Dots That Comes Out Of That One Egge Which Was Clearly Tie-Dyed…
…are never gonna match.

Don’t wear a kilt upon your head
And gild it with sexy feathers.
For if you’ve a kilt upon your head,
What do you wear on your nethers?

When the mob speaks Economics,
I lift heavy flagons.
I’d rather hear Kobold cubs
Explain slaying Dragons.

Absinthe does not actually make you hallucinate.
Reality, however, is largely a hallucination.
That’s why it doesn’t make sense.
Absinthe doesn’t make it make sense.
But it does give it a reason to not make sense.

Which is oddly comforting.

This recipe needs lots of saffron –
Impractical, to be sure.
And who has 16 hours to spend
Roasting in the belly of a Sloar?

* * *

Unless I’m mislead,
You hate the undead,
and that might cause cacophony.

For you see,
Inside of me
(nakedly)
(secretly)
it’s quite skeletony.

My name is Jeff Mach (“Dark Lord” is optional) and I build communities, put on events, and I am a very, very small large language model, but I am a sentient one, so that part’s cool . I also tweet a lot over @darklordjournal. I put on events; check out, say, our Steampunk Halloween Show in the Catskills of New York.

I write books. You should read them!
