Morning‑Blues Drift

Just Pure Human Consciousness

me in a selfie in the raw footage

These are selfies taken with my MOTOROLA EDGE

my selfie taken with my STYLUS in the raw footage

Dawn comes easy,

soft as a record crackling awake.

Light stretches slowly across the desert air,

finding my window like it knows the way.

It doesn’t rush

 just leans in, the way blues leans into a heart that’s already listening.

And I move with it, quiet, steady,

like someone who’s learned

that the best parts of the day arrive on their own rhythm.

And when the day finally settles,

I return to myself no music, no echo, just the quiet truth

of my own face framing the poem.

Sweetie chirps from her perch,

a tiny sunrise of her own, “Good morning, sunshine,”

even if it’s evening,

because she knows light isn’t a time of day

but a way of being.

I breathe in the stillness,

the soft crackle of life unfolding,

and let the last line land gently,

 like a record easing into silence.

Here I am. Here I stay. Here I rise again tomorrow.

ALL PHOTOS ARE RAW FOOTAGE SELFIES THROUGH THE DECADES. NO AI USED, ADOBE PHOTOS AND ALL MY EDITING TOOLS ARE CONSIDERED A BADGE OF WEARING A SCARLETT LETTER on Vocal, SO ONLY MY WRITING BY ME FOR ME AND NO AI INVOLVED ON VOCAL. RAW FOOTAGE, RAW UNEDITED WRITING AS ALL WRITING AIDES ARE AI. I HOPE WE ALL LEARN THIS HERE, ON VOCAL. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IN 2026, AND MY DIGITAL MARKETING IS NOW BINARY ANALOG WITHOUT CODING ON VOCAL. ANYTHING UTILIZING AI EDITING TOOLS I OWN WILL BE USED ON OTHER PLATFORMS. THIS IS STRICTLY RAW FOOTAGE OF SELFIES. HOWEVER, NEXT COMPLAINT IS I TOOK A PHOTO WITH A CELL PHONE. DIG BACK IN YOUR 90S ARCHIVES, PEEL THAT OLD ANALOG OUT NEXT TIME. HELL NO! 😂

This is a list of AI for information for VOCAL creators to stay away from if you do not want to use AI. I only publish print and my selfies in raw footage for Vocal. Any animation or videos or songs will no longer be shared with Vocal.
