"Although, it's a weird #mélange, think of alien corpses as plastic. It's in mostly everything that we and the NPA made," Bailey explained. "Sadly, we mostly made weapons."
"Can they be used like drugs?" Jin said.
"God no."
"Why is that politician snorting it?"
"WHAT?" #vss365

#vss365 #mélange

My life is a cornucopia
My headspace a mélange of personalities
Some call this a disorder
I see it as a tool
One that helps deal with humanity
I understand masks
I see what's underneath
Wish we didn't feel the need to hide
But, I know we're all doin' our best to survive

my new
girlfriend
is Ruth
I thought
you'd like
to know
I was talking
to her
in class
and
I asked her
if she
knew
what
a #mélange was
she thought
for a bit
is a sort of
sugar confectionery
made
of whipped
egg whites
apparently
the term came
from
François Massailot's
cookbook
very clever

#vss365 #mélange Titled: Sorry Blood Sugar.

she marries the wind
with stars beneath her tongue
& slips through cracks
in the day
trees loosen roots
branches lean towards
an unnamed country
the sky wears her face
then gives it to the rain
in this #mélange
of distance & desire
she becomes the taste
of somewhere
the body has never been

Languages so unlike
a #mélange of expression
fusion of meaning

Surfing the
#Mélange
Of a society
Created in the
Subduction zone
Of a Crumbling
Civilization

Admiring
Plate tectonics
Passing as dinnerware
At late night parties
Of the latest
Seismic upheaval

Rock music
Formations
In the background
Metamorphasizing
Into a more
granular sediment

morning finds its voice
in the mélange of flowers
earth speaks all at once

The geologist surveyed the stone #mélange and sighed. The artifact was uncovered around dirt from no less than four distinct geological epochs, which would make figuring out its age near impossible. He hated it when the earthbenders trained near the dig site. #vss365

His hands had worked wood and metal. Repair, replace, or restore whatever came into his shop left having had more love than before it arrived.

His bench was his soul. The #mélange of tools, parts, small boxes, and the thing he hadn't figured out yet.

“ #Mélange? That’s a weird word.”
“Yep.”
“It sounds like phalange. Or Oraaange.”
“Sort of.”
“What are you using it for?”
“To describe a collection.”
“What does it mean?”
“Like I said—“
“I’ll google it.”
“I could just—“
“What’s a hodgepodge?”
“Oh, stop it.”

'A joint family get together would be fun, Gabe.'
'Really, Pixie? More like a troublesome #mélange.'
'No. Imagine it. Your mama trying to keep control, your brothers & sisters strutting around in fancy clothes.'
'And your family raining down pranks on them?'
'Exactly.'

Whether you call it a sausage, a #mélange, or a gumbo, things are great when differences combine. I mean, sure, you could stick with white bread with mayo, but there are so many better options out there.
Yes, this is a post about how stupid racists are.

promises
are made for keeping
too much time for weeping
dreams disrupt my sleeping
this utter ache
a #mélange of emotion
undying devotion
buried in time
reasons that rhyme
I understand why
but how do I face the empty page
when you walk off the stage
there’s really only one
of you
