If I seem a little distant or incoherent, it's because I am. I am not a NeuroTypical and I have no desire to become one. This is simply the area in which I stim my creative impulses.

and sometimes, she only smiles to keep her mouth from closing...

 
I am of the distinct impression that most every Cassandra has her own Apollo...
so, the curse shall be set upon YOU...

 
love is a drop of vermillion
caught in the crimson tides of war

and the killing fields grow...

The most mischevious liars are those who keep sliding on the verge of truth...

22 July -- St. Mary Magdalen's Day. She is regularly confused with the Virgin Mary, regarded as the patron of prostitutes. Various churches, including Notre Dame, are actually dedicated to Mary Magdalen, not the Virgin Mary. The Gospel of Mary (one of the Gnostic gospels, a copy of which was found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1940) says the two Marys - virgin and harlot - are one and the same.

I wish I knew what changed... maybe I'm jaded...

in empty windows
some set with flickering
neon lights setting the pale

the streets are empty

and light traces the horizon

sleep

 
*flash*
idea for a long joke... *chuckles* deep humour, I think...

There are two grim-faced men, in green uniforms, and a gorilla, in a blue uniform, going through a most remarkable pantomime. One of the men holds up a sign saying "WE DEMAND JUSTICE" and the gorilla sprays him with a can of shaving cream; the other man then feeds the gorilla.

*grins* Operant Conditioning anyone?

 
I'm in a fighting mood... anyone want to push my buttons tonight?

 
forgive my gypsy constancy...

 
all the sadness contained in a pop song
somehow seems more than any atrocity
in any history book, more real. But that
is the error of our age, we believe more
than is actually there. More than the
facts allow.

 
"Pas quittez moi � terre,"
which is, in a familiar patois: "Don't leave me stranded,"
which is, in the specifics of the language: "Don't leave me on earth,"
or, by a shift of stress: "Don't leave me the earth" [for an inheritance];
"Pas quittez moi � terre, Starship,
Don't leave me on earth, I've had enough of it."

Abandonment is something I should have grown used to.

 
Abandonment is something

"Do not lust after results..."
-- Aliester Crowley

whores for Eleusis...

 
There is a sleeping cop in all of us. He must be killed.

 
For him, the rules of the world were written in pencil and he had a big eraser...

the word palimpsest comes to mind in relation to reality...

 
Too many people
clutch to false hope,
outdated imperialist notions of
"good" and "evil," and go
most of their lives in
a blind, ambitious
low-grade chronic
emergency.

They walk the streets
worried
that one technology
or another
they've invented
will revolt against their
chauvenistic
(militaristic)
dictatorship.

Dancing an irregular waltz
with a hooded
character
who abandoned
his scythe
(but never beat his swords
into plowshares)
for germ warfare
and cloned sheep
named "Dolly."

But freedom dawns
a few minds

and the richer is the light
that those shed on
others.

 
Fear...

The last time I truly felt fear, in the conventional sense, was before I left on my trip. It stemmed from the answer she gave me when I asked her to be with me...

something along the lines of: "we'll see what happens when you get back and we'll take it from where we left off..."

for some reason, I didn't quite think I was enough to be taken seriously after only one night and be remembered for almost 4 weeks... maybe that's not fear, but something like insecurity...

but hey, some people think my insecurity is nothing more than a ploy for attention. The kick is if I truly was insecure, then I wouldn't want the attention... so, I either have what I want (and why should I continue something that is self-destructive) or I am living in a hell of recieving more attention than I want.

but some people also lie too much...

twilight's tears
the horizon of a voice where stars are falling
and no cry interrupts
the falling phoenix
who rises, ever after, as a dove.

 
A man who had studied much in the schools of wisdom finally died in the fullness of his time and found himself at the Gates of Eternity.

An angel of light approached him and said, "Go no further, O mortal, until you have proven to me your worthiness to enter Paradise!"

But the man answered, "Just a minute, now. First of all, can you prove to me this is a real Heaven and not just the wishful fantasy of my disordered mind undergoing death?"

Before the angel could reply, a voice from inside the gates shouted:
"Let him in -- he's one of us!"

"Damn all this self-improvement. I want a pleasant dinner."
-- Hannibal Lecter, M.D.

 
it's funny how I never get invited
places unless I overhear
or make a point to ask about
something in the works.

people make concessions
to keep on my good side
but in all fairness
when did you ever give a fuck about me
other than to save your own ass
from my "dark side?"

"Assume a virtue if you have it not."

people to add to my shit-ledger:

1) people who say "myriad of"
2) people who want to be chefs and who cannot spell (or even recognize) the names of foods or wines
3) people who confuse your and you're
4) people who are ignorant and who don't care enough to learn
5) people who answer questions with only "because"

that's all for now...

 
in the deep sea of the subjective,
I once lived a life of morals.
But who can hold their breath that long
in the deep, cold sea of the subjective?

 
mindflash
a new Nabokov variation
too late, too long
too much apprehension
too much tension
and she wouldn't even
see the humour
of sunset
once upon a
park hill
one of them
very much
in love with the other
and the other didn't even
notice that he
left no footprints
in the pale mist

and she was so reassuring
and her speech so full of pleasantries
but she never kissed him
with her eyes closed

nothing can flourish in your absence
except our faith in our happiness
nurtured by a mind made mad
with love.

 
forbid me
forbid flesh
no repair
so unfair

images of thigh and breast
and touch so sweet and pure
with you I cannot find this rest
no one else can help or cure

I was trained to speak
in the language of the times:
despair.

I raged against anything I could
find, but nothing fought back
or stuck around long enough
to get past the gloss of
our age.

Desolation means no angels to wrestle,
no songs to recite in your head;
Desolation means no comparisons.

Tonight, the sky is alive;
the rows of clouds
repeat themselves like the ribs
of some vast
skeleton.

And rainbows are to eyes
the equivalent of
thunder upon an overpowered
hearing-aid.

in this desert of tradition,
I stand, unheroic, apart
from my time
and lacking the doubt
that sets me apart.

Desolation means no angels to wrestle.
Desolation means no comparisons...

*whispers* happy birthday, duckie.
*takes a moment to compose himself*
I miss you...

 
all alone
all day
completely surrounded
by four white walls

each one mocking me
as morning
mocks its flowers
by becoming
Afternoon

 
When the white furze
    stands up
on the dandelion stem
    it is time
                to blow

maybe my words aren't so fresh
and the novel intentions lose their lustre,
when always wed in a shotgun style

or maybe they take me for granted

 
the dark tremolo of summer crickets
I can taste the love of a sweet discouraged girl
thinking she has found the beauty of truth

 
and I used to sit in my
high-back chair
reading Proust and Apollinaire
while the days turned to dust
and a nightwood sprang up around me
Solidified nostalgia indeed --
and the great stone tomb of
hearts destroyed
with the solidified ennui of eternity
and, Yes, here I knew such aloneness.

dumb trauma
of youth!
such wastes of love
such wordless hungers
mute neuroses
yearnings & gropings
fantasies & flame-outs
such endless searching

such highs and sweet inebriations --
I salute you now
sweet inchoate youth
and offer you my left hand
with a slight derisive laugh

 
into the crystal night of time
in the endless silence of the soul
in the long loud tale of man
in his enless sound and fury
signifying everything
with his endless hallucinations
adorations annihilations illuminations
erections and exhibitions
facismo and machismo
circuses of the soul astray
merrygorounds of the imagination
coney island of the mindless

endless poem dictated
by the uncollected voice
of the collective unconscious
blear upon the tracks of time.

 
In a dream within a dream I dreamt a dream
of the reality of existence
and the Arrow of Time
flies both ways
through bent space

in this wind-up model of the universe
in which I was a fish who eats his tail
a yin-yang yolk of good and evil
about to consume itself.

 
A tuning fork in the inner ear,
struck of another chord,
to strike below the surface.
Of your own sweet Self still sing
yet mutter your "I love you"s
so nobody else will see

the true beauty
tinged with rose and gold
and the light, the light,
so unadultered, so right...

and so engulfing.

Poetry the common carrier
for the transportation of the public
to higher places
than other wheels can carry it.

Time now to face outward
in the lotus position
with eyes wide open,
and time to sing of this
in all your tongues and all
your voices to all sentient
life... and even those
who are too innocent
to listen.

 
So, there's a party in my pants... everyone's invited... no need to RSVP; it's first come, first serve...

The power of (real) Beauty is not that of overwhelming and awe, but it is the power to slow down and finally to stop the irritable movements of your ratiocinative machinery; when your rational ideas are wholly destroyed and putrefied, you will succeed in enflaming them in the fierce Furnace of your Creative Wills, until all things burn up together into one blazing mass of living, of relentless Light.

miss roach seems to think that "thought is form" is a "malcolm-esque quote."
however much I am inclined to agree, though, I am quite equally inclined to disagree on the grounds that "p is q" does not mean that "q is p."


explination:

"thought is form" -- while thought indeed does create form, this syllogism is a bit of a stretch; thought does not equal form simply because it creates it.

"form is thought" -- I would, perhaps, be a bit more inclined to believe this premise for the reason that since thought creates form, then it is very easy to deduce that creating form is a form of thought. But, (and here comes the infinite regress that I oh-so-love) since creating form is a form of thought itself, then one must create a second thought to create the form of thought for the first creation of form -- and so on ad infinitum, though usually only ad nauseum.

the only problem that I wish to expound upon with the reasoning thus far is that, then:
all forms are thoughts
thoughts create forms
since all forms are thoughts and created by thoughts, form is subjective -- form is no more "real" than the thoughts of unicorns
thus, form cannot exist and all that appears as form is simply thought.

mmm... loose logic... I love it...

p.s. thank you, miss roach, for thinking of me...

 
relationships are like glass... beautiful, fragile, and dangerous if thrown.

 
now comes the trouble --
the dangerous bit...
hang on, love...

 
nothing left inside...

 
two becomes one
and one becomes none
but none can see
the love of the joined.

 
no words... perfection... love... nothing... all...

beauty... not innocence, any longer... just TRUTH!

and the mome raths outgrabe...

 
with bared breasts She wrestled against me;
in how many varied embraces, our changing arms,
Her kisses, how many, lingering on my lips.
"turn not Venus into a blinded motion,
              eyes are the guides of love."


 
This afternoon, I had a moment of thought...

Ever have one of those moments where you sit there and realize, in the midst of rejection, that you've fucked up your life beyond repair and wonder why you're doing what you're doing and why it's with certain people, wonder what compelled you to be with someone or why you put up with them wonder how you can simply shut down all communication with someone and hurt them more than they ever thought possible?

My thought, this afternoon, was not one of those moments...

trapped
in our emotional enclave...

surrounded by opposition,
but enclosed in love...


 
I must say that I find the Second Law of Thermodynamics to be one of the most pessimistic and amoral formulation in all human thought.

 
Real reality is there, but everything you know about "it" is in your mind and yours to do with as you like.

I have strange dreams sometimes
but they're not half as wierd as
what I see walking down the street.
And a streetcar named apprehension

passes you by.


 
I didn't get much sleep last night
thinking about underwear
Have you ever stopped to consider
underwear in the abstract
When you really dig into it
some shocking problems are raised

Underwear is something
we all have to deal with
Everyone wears
some kind of underwear
The Pope wears underwear I hope

Underwear can really get you into a bind
You have seen the underwear ads
for men and women
so alike but so different
Women's underwear holds things up
Men's underwear holds things down
Underwear is one thing
men and women have in common
Underwear is all we have between us

You have seen the three-colour pictures
with crotches encircled
to show areas of extra strength
and three-way stretch
promising full freedom of action

Don't be decieved
It's all based on the two-party system
which doesn't allow much freedom of choice
the way things are set up
America in its underwear
struggles through the night

Underwear controls everything in the end
Take foundation garments for instance
They really are fascist forms
of underground government
making people believe
something but the truth
telling you what you can or can't do
DId you ever try to get around a girdle
Perhaps Non-Violent Action
is the only answer
Did Ghandi wear a girdle?
Did Lady Macbeth wear a girdle?
Was that why Lady Macbeth murdered sleep?
Ad that spot she was always rubbing --
Was it really in her underwear?
She must have had a huge guilt complex
always washing and washing and washing
Out damned spot

Underwear with spots very suspicious
Underwear with bulges very shocking
Underwear on clothesline a great flag of freedom

Someone has escaped their Underwear
May be naked somewhere
Help!

But don't worry
Everybody's still hung up in it
There won't be a real revolution
And poetry still the underwear of the soul

And underwear still covering
a multitude of faults
in the geological sense --
strange sedimentary stones, inscrutable cracks!

If I were you I'd keep aside
an oversized pair of winter underwear

Do not go naked into that good night

 
I like my teeth...

 
but the beauty is not the madness...

 
"I have tried to write Paradise.

Stand still.
  Let the wind speak.
    That is Paradise.

She is beautiful as the sunlight, and as fluid.
I am bound and entwined...


 
I see London,
I see France,
I see Brittany's
ASS!


 
most people lose faith when the first kiss exhileration is gone, but I see beyond the routine and I still get the butterflies.

every kiss grows with excitement
from nape to lips

stains of love upon your breasts
in lots of 5
always 5
always perfect
in your beauty

and in my heart,
coccoons of love

hatching..

 
One by one they
                      drink silence
      and without looking back
                                      disappear forever
            Like certain people
                                    in my life...

 
no crowd could ever contain you...

 
"Why bother?
it's gonna hurt me,
it's gonna kill when
you desert me..."

"Bullshit makes the flowers grow, and that's pretty."

in this choaslust
of fermented dream I
fall and break my heart
a wound I'd never show.


torn reality for-
lorn moral realization


both broken
and revised
a palimpsest of
childhood innocence lost
in adolescent turbulence.

"Anytime at all,
all you've gotta do is call
and I'll be there..."

-- Lennon/McCartney, Anytime At All

 
In the eternal dream-time
                          a fish dreamt ocean
                                  a bird sky
And I stand on the beach in the land
      where all is still frontier
and don't dream sand
                    running through my head
                                      as through an hourglass.

Sun on fire
              sucked into ocean
      And the only shadow
                                  the shadow of desire afire.

Back at the house
      the white copy of Venus Aphrodite
            stands silent in the doorway
Her hair, silk,
      glistens and quivers in wind
            lyre-strands strung
                  from head to shoulder
my eyes wander
      browsing
            on the alabaster breasts
      and move
                    to the very mouth of Venus
            who is no longer a copy

The Universe Breathes...



 
O you,
and my pride is there,
who are less in your own light, better-loved,
who are strange to me no longer. We have grown,
        I know,
in the same dark gardens. We have drunk
the same difficult water under the trees.
The same severe angel has menaced you.

And our steps are the same, freeing themselves
from the brambles of forgettable childhood
and the same impure imprecations,

You, who are more
beautiful than lightning,
stain the white windows of
my memory.


 
when will people realize that I don't reccomend music unless it's good... they still don't trust my judgement yet... ouch...

 
well, that trip was quite fun... I must say the only thing more frightening than the skydiving was waking up and realizing there was someone in the bed with me and not remembering how she or I got there...

too much drink, too much *pauses* nevermind...

 
"home again, home again, jiggity jig..."
