Go-Faster Stripes – 15th May 2026

Inspired by the lines “You can’t stop time/You can’t not change” from Pedestrian by Daniel Striped Tiger.

You can’t stop time –
a novel is now a tweet.
Too fast to flower
with their belly-bumping beat.

Knowing became binary,
so every two is strange.
In the great unravelling,
you can’t not change.

You can’t stop time;
no secrets will remain.
Plea deals by emoji
satisfy the monkey brain.

Speeding towards Mars
in planetary exchange.
Faster than light,
you can’t not change.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Count Your Blessings

Don’t set your mind on things you don’t possess
The Joneses look at you, envious
Look upon your things and bless
Them with gratitude, more or less
