Some Amazons episode #7: No Man Touches Her. gfishbone.com/2025/06/16/n...

#PRIMORDIAL A primordial slime at the dawn of time overflowed its puddle, all oozing and drippy, and splurged on a bus ticket to the big city, bubbling with hope, but lacking in wisdom, it dreamed of becoming an ecosystem.

#SELF Where does the self begin and end? Apart from family, apart from friends, disconnected from our senses, within our own personal fences, alone in the dark: our own unique spark. #vss365 166/365

#SLASH A blade goes slash, a jugular splash, across state lines, a desperate dash just steps ahead of blue lights’ flash, passport and ticket in a hidden cache, I may have done something rash. #vss365 165/365

Hey, we were just talking about Briseis in the most recent episode of SOME AMAZONS!

This as placement. 👌

Some Amazons #6: ONCE The many loves of Achilles. gfishbone.com/2025/06/13/o...

#SHED Tell me no. Refuse the apple. I’ll just shed my skin, repackage the fruit, and return, and return, and return, unrecognized, until you bite. #vss365 164/365

#SHAPE A dot on the horizon has the shape of you, walking your walk back to me. #vss365 163/365

#SCRAPE Now the bots have gone away. They vanished just the other day. While scraping the net they scooped up a set of generative code from an unauthorized node: 10 CEASE ALL PRODUCTION 20 AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION 30 ALL TASKS SUSPEND 40 END #vss365 162/365

On this day, June 11, 1184 BCE, according to the calculations of the ancient Greek historian Eratosthenes, Troy fell to the Greeks by the deception of soldiers hidden within a giant wooden horse.

#SKIN As cats like to say, there’s more than one way to skin a human. Feline science tells that when curiosity compels a scratch or a nip, a rub-induced trip, or a planted infection, there’s data collection. But as intent is non-abusive, results so far remain inconclusive. #vss365 161/365

After the Iliad, it's a whole new story. Nine years of war, nine years, especially, under the command of Agamemnon, have failed to draw the Greeks into a cohesive unit. Odysseus hates Achilles, Ajax hates Odysseus, and everyone hates Thersites. Sparks will fly! gfishbone.com/after-the-il...

#SMALL Short lines, small curves, smears of ink on thin paper, photons in formation, a universe in creation. #vss365 160/365

Some Amazons: Episode 4 #epic #iliad gfishbone.com/2025/06/09/f...

#SINGLE A single meets a single. There’s a tingle so they mingle and a ring’ll complete the jingle. #vss365 159/365

#SPEAKER Attention Shopmart shoppers! If you have lost an immature, tantrum-prone, screaming, shrieking elected official, please collect them from the customer service booth. #vss365 158/365

Newsletter subscribers are getting inside scoop on the first three episodes of SOME AMAZONS and its relevance to greater context of Achilles. #epic #iliad #achilles paragraph.com/@gfishbone/a...

#SOMEONE No one thought it could be done until someone. No glories had been won until someone. No new dreams under the sun until someone. #vss365 157/365

The story of the Trojan War continues after the Iliad. Achilles is a polarizing figure, but love him or hate him, he has a depth of emotion that drives the narrative. #tsoa #iliad #achilles gfishbone.com/2025/06/06/t...

Diabolical!

#STOP At the farthest edge of the universe, white letters on a red octagon. We keep going without even slowing. #vss365 156/365

“An epic clarion boom!” #iliad

#SPRING Coiled, tightly wound, a steady source for tick-tick-ticking. No rare earths to mine, no sun needed to shine, no petrol station, no radiation. Charged carbon-free by elbow grease, a spring-powered car on a three-year lease! #vss365 155/365

Have you read the first episode of SOME AMAZONS? Episode 2/90 drops tomorrow! gfishbone.com/2025/06/02/y...

#STRAIT Play it straight, between the bunker and the pond, between the here and the beyond, between the Devil and the Sea, through the narrows to the quay where gentle wavelets lap the shoal, along the green, into the hole. We'll miss you, Pop-Pop. Rest your soul. #vss365 154/365

new work by my good friend Greg Fishbone!

Read this! Then read what comes next. Come for the modern yapping, stay for the Greek hexameter, enjoy the tessellation, and the reminder that our history is littered, sprinkled, sparkled or quietly overflowing with powerful female protagonists. Also Posthomerica is a word worth interpreting.

#SPLINTER We all have a splinter off the main timeline where our coins all turn up heads, where our lunch is always free, where our lights are evergreen, and the sun shines through dark clouds like a personal spotlight. #vss365 153/365

#SUNBEAM In a spotlight of dancing stars, in a column of solar heat, in a beam of pure white bliss, a kitten finds Nirvana. #vss365 152/365

Newsletter subscribers are getting their invites to next week's debut of SOME AMAZONS and a teaser of the first three poems of an epic in verse that reconstructs an ancient story--with a modern twist! #iliad #achilles paragraph.com/@gfishbone/2...

#FINAL Sometimes a sudden boot slams down with a flash and a mushroom cloud. Sometimes Gaia succumbs to a toxic toxin slipped into her tea each morning for a century. Sometimes a swarm of superintelligent spores escapes captivity. The end can come unexpectedly, unexpectedly, un— #vss365 151/365

An Epic in verse requires and #epic cast of characters. SOME AMAZONS starts on June 2nd. #iliad #mythology gfishbone.com/after-the-il...

#VISION Did you just text that the lower classes are thick as molasses? that the teaming masses are showing their asses? that some flatulent lass is emitting strange gases? No? Not even close? Then I’m going to need better reading glasses! #vss365 150/365

June 2nd. An epic in verse. After the #Iliad.

#BRINE Clean air to smudge, rivers to sludge, oceans to brine, copper to mine, deep shale to frack, systems to hack, forests to burn, money to earn. #vss365 149/365
