In response to LWBUT’s post on the structure of matter—that it is mainly composed of empty space, here is my answer:
On the Nature of Matter: Atomic Dieting
When I worry about dieting in order to get thin,
I merely remind myself there’s less of me within!
Extreme Retirement
My daydreams lack a focus. They float by like a cloud.
It is as though much logic is simply not allowed.
Should plans besmirch my reverie, I’m sure to blot them out,
for my thoughts are vagabonds—aimless, without a doubt.
A mortarboard and tassel lurk far within my past,
and I fear the plans they made simply didn’t last
I lie here in my lounge chair, getting too much sun.
I should raise the umbrella, for sunburn is no fun,
but I cannot stir myself. I’m simply far too lazy.
Retirement would be easier if all the skies were hazy!
Prompt words today are tassel, blot, focus and besmirch. Here are links:

Democratic congressman Joe Cunningham interrupted a house committee hearing with a 120-decibel airhorn after a Trump administration official insisted air-gun testing to locate oil underwater would have no impact on whales, who rely on echolocation to hunt and communicate.
Long Story
Your makeshift fidelity is now a laughable matter.
I have grown bold in my approaching old age
as my own life story now seems more fable than reality.
Every good tale needs its falling action—
its climaxes mainly based on comparison,
and, ironically, you were also its denouement.
But, we are the authors of our own drama,
and, much as I would have chosen otherwise,
you were just the coda of the second act.
Prompt words today are bold, makeshift, fidelity and laugh. Here are the links:
