“When you use the word #reckon, it is common to scratch at either your chin or the back of your head. Try it now for two minutes.”

The instructor walked the room as the mechs looked deep in thought.

They’d been taught the language, then context; Body Language 101 was their hardest course.

I like to read books when I can, but I #reckon
I’d read a lot more if my phone didn’t beckon.

I’m plum tuckered out.

I #reckon I’ll head to the
Silver Dollar Saloon for a
bottle of Red Eye, a warm
bed, and some female
companionship.

I try to keep my balance in a tilted world. Watching how the broader picture unfurls. I used to think that growth always made you feel content. Now I'm tracing old choices and directions I went. I #reckon it's not the finish, but the place I leave behind.

reckon the pulse against cold slate
no interest paid,
no penalty for years overdrawn,
just the raw sum
owing
after you've gone

Had to reckon with
It sometime, reconciling
Wreckage of the past.

Ilyna didn’t need to wait and #reckon the distance between the rooftops, she’d already cased both houses days before, watching the movements of the people within, noting the weaknesses, the less obvious entrypoints.

I caught him as he fell, and manoeuvred him into a recovery position. I fought my conscience for a moment then reset his nose: I'm a bastard, but I'm not evil.

Then I took out a Sharpie and wrote "RECKON IT'S WORTH IT?" on his forehead. Esoteric maybe, but I was tired and stoned.

Dylan supervised, though he knew he didn’t have to, Able #reckon the orbital trajectory to the next planet and their next assignment.

The young navigator made the calculations without computer aid and got it better than the check Dylan made. That was some skill the lad had. Impressive.

It didn’t take much for Rory to #reckon the inherent value of betraying someone to death for the sake of a few skill points, and taking the practically worthless item offered in their stead.
Morally, he couldn’t do it. Yes, it was just a game, but he just couldn’t. He took the item instead.

Once you #reckon that these are the same people who want you to take #vaccines, to #vaccinate your children, your parents & grandparents, it's no wonder the #Epstein files are kept secret, no wonder: they're hardly the tip of the iceberg.
Bill Gates can afford to distract you with pingpong.
