aspie ranting

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. (WARNING: All entries are either ENTIRELY TRUE or ENTIRELY FALSE and anything claiming to be one of the latter is, in fact, one of the former. There are no exceptions to this rule.)

and I wonder if your words
(that echo through my bones)
have left any meaning
on the lives (my life)
they have touched

your lies might placate them, but I know better... (and now I know all your lies)
and when things progress as I see them progressing,
the truth will set you free...

Two touching, bleeding souls
casting shadows as one
the reptilian in her infects me and
reflects me

I had not expected fear, but terror came with her
and though I sought a dying moment, she showed me a dying eternity
and though I sought to bring wisdom into the real, she tore the real from me
and I was no more, and in unbeing, I lost my fear.

Of love I have naught
Save trouble and sad thought,
And nothing is grievous
          as I desirous,
Wanting only what
No man can get or has got.

          For in her is all my delight
          And all that can save me.

Such fear I have she deliver
                                      me not from pain,
          Who know not how to ask her;
          Who can not.

If she won't have me now, Death is my portion,
          Would I had died that day
          I came into her sway.
How softly this kills!
When her love look steals on me.
Killed me she has, I know not how it was.

Joy I have none, if she make me not mad.
I am true, or a liar,
All vile, or all gentle,
Or shaking between,
                            as she desire...

I am gone from one joy,
From one I loved...

 
visions of a future to unfold?

remember when
none of it mattered
because we knew who
we were meant to be
because we found eachother
and no other mattered
and I was flattered
but wouldn't you rather

pretend it's all we need
to be here, bleed
sell a soul as seed
and plant for all we'll need
but greed is freed
and you think you'll need
a stockpile of
arms

or legs
a fresh nape or two
thousand
how many more will it take
for you to see what's at stake
and every mistake
we made and how fake
and let's face

up to the facts
no turning back
attack
the road ahead
and beat this sword into
a dagger

not half the man I was with you
you always gave more credit than due
and I believed you knew it was true

but I wasn't ready
and you weren't too
and nothing escapes
this gravity well
we all fell
and as clear as a bell
we're on the mend
and it doesn't take the end

so try to suss out what is going on
inside your head

it's been fun, but I'm no fun anymore
and a new surprise is the same old pain wrapped up
in stylish wrapping paper
and I'm the paper mostly...
disposable, torn to shreds, and little children sell me door to door


 
nosebleed... great...
one more sign.
"the least of your worries"
indeed.

stop dragging me back
to old ailments
frail resentments

*hangs a clothesline*
so it begins...

 
20 February. Feast Day of St Paula the Bearded. She prayed for a beard to discourage the attentions of a young man, and her prayers were promptly answered. St Wilgefortis, whose feast day is 20 July, was the daughter of the King of Portugal, who wished her to marry the King of Sicily. She had taken a vow of virginity, prayed for a beard, which turned off her suitor, and was crucified by her father. 'Preposterous!' snorts one hagiographer. A bearded female saint carved on the front porch of Westminster Abbey used to be supplicated by women tired of their husband's sexual demands.

 
I'm gone, yes. I still Love you, though.
None of my feelings have changed.
I still worry and care about you.
And I'm sorry that so much pain and misunderstanding
has been shared.

I've moved on, but I will always be here
clutching my false hope...

this is the worst headache I have ever had...
I'm scared because of what the ER doctor said...
but I dare not say anything.

 
Enochian Choirs
heavy on the reverb

 
BAVARIAN FIRE DRILL!!!

of course...

(and what did chasing windmills win Quixote?)

Romans 7:7-10

(and what did The Equinox: A Journal of Scientific Illuminism, 1922 say about "those who thwart these rights"?)

Man has the right to Love as he will...

and the word of the law is Thelema.

The results of the famous domestic violence survey by the Family Research Laboratory in 1985 found that 1.8 million women were the victims of severe domestic abuse each year, which led to the famous statistic: A woman is battered by her partner every 18 seconds. That same survey found what number of men were victims of severe domestic abuse?

2 million

As hard as it is to believe, the same survey which gave us the widely-quoted one-woman-every-18-seconds figure found that even more men were being severely abused--one man every 15 seconds. Even the survey that was performed as part of the Violence Against Women Act found that well over a third of domestic violence victims are men. Yet this tragedy is denied to the point that battered men are in the same situation today as battered women in the 1950s.

"... but we grisly old Sykos who have done our unsmiling bit on alices, when they were yung and easily freudened..."
-- Finnegan's Wake, by James Joyce

smile... c'mon... ironic?

 
your panchreston is based on a fallacy...

 
the gravity of it all
tiny rainbows form
falling down around me
twinkling beneath reality
only a hint shines through
a glint shines through
through and
I don't see you being through
when you put me through what
I'm going through
I'm trying to leave
but forever, you cleave...

 
Any sufficiently advanced psychology is indistinguishable from magick...

 
my only allegiance is to life...

 
as the Eye of Set blinks and stutters in the sky,
She watches in silence...

 
They live happiest who have forgiven most...

 
so, you've really learned nothing, hm?

two quotes have been surfacing in my mind all day...

"This too shall pass..."
and
"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown..."

*grins* Chinatown indeed.

 
I wish you the best of days, Valentine.

 
(soon, you'll see the fnords...)

 
forgiveness is my metier,
and my biggest fault...

I find no more pain in this
and I'm already gone...

you need not repeat it
maybe I can find someone (anyone) who cares by tonight...

 
Ewige Shlangekraft...

you'll never forget...

 
non compos mentis
fickle faculties racked my brain
raindrops echo of forgotten pain
drained, restrained, and doused in disdain

the players all forgot the game
their souls recovery forever strained
in due time, explained but not forgotten
despondent

I'll bet even Kismet didn't see this coming
a mile away (16 miles to be exact)
extracting all my self-control
lost in a barrel roll (tailspin)
tailspun out of control
and just my luck

the parachute won't open...

Malevolent
Everything and
Everywhere and all is lost in
Trails

Moments pass and tears will not
Evaporate

Arrange the
Teardrops to flood and pointed reminders

Love passes
Under purple skies and
Love amasses
Under elysian eyes
So sad and tired

Art speaks
Truculent, deep

Every tear
Lost in the rain
Every fear
Very deep in pain
Every leer
Not in vain

The poignant melody
Haunting my spaces
Indifference and oblivion
Reality faulters
The poignant melancholy has
Yet to complete me

Falling deeper and forever
Riding the current of our current situation and
I just can't see anything but
Doomsday scenarios
And lost lotharios
Yearning for recognition, for a chance

Naught but joy
I feel
Given this thought is real
Heavy like an iron curtain
They hold over you.

Cutting down our little joys
One after another
Moments erased but not forgotten
Exchanged for nothing

Always, you had me
Living inspiration
Only now, it's different
No more sympathetic and respectful
Eyes...

I have rediscovered things long buried by the avalanche of emotion...

 
today, the dove chokes on the olive branch...

 
plurabella,

Love never passes, it exists beyond what we know... beyond space and time and all the ruminations or regrets, there is always Love.

Always.

Light loads will carry the heaviest moments...

 
12 February. Feast Day of Artemis, Moon Goddess and Mother of Creatures, the Latin Diana. She was also the Huntress, killer of the very creatures she had brought forth. Her priestesses wore the masks of hunting dogs and, like Hecate, she led the nocturnal hunt. Today is also the feast of Julian the Hospitaller, patron saint of ferrymen, innkeepers and circus people, who probably never existed beyond the romance of the Golden Legend. According to this, Julian accidentally killed his parents but was forgiven after rescuing a half-frozen traveller who turns out to be an angel.

 
something needs to be done
about the running narrative in my head
each passing thought like some sick stab
at a dark cinematic moment
complete with the dark voiceover

I pray for silence
but it prays upon me
weighs upon me like a leaden
rain

the streets couldn't contain his madness
the nights couldn't restrain his sadness
and inbetween, the flashes of each passing
telephone pole beckon him
like angels with leather wings and no halo...

have you forgotten already
or am I that far gone
nothing is right
so is anything wrong?

Chapel Perilous... deeper and deeper.
rock bottom at weeks end.

 
hindsight spite
in retrospect, unrequited...

 
the quiet of the night is no justification for sleep...

I'm feeling disconnected
frosted over
teeth chattering as I drown in
liquid sadness flooding down my face

when the levee breaks and the waters flow
I have nothing left to anchor me
and I float (no paddle) and fall
stutter more now than before
and second guess myself
slip and stumble
riot rumble
toss and tumble
unstick the locks (never a key)
and sink and breath
breathing lost its ease
(every smell reminds me)
and I can smell the salty stinging tears
as they rush to my lips
and I no longer
can feel the difference between
sinking and swimming

doomed
down to drown...

 
our Love was as beautiful as a diamond,
and now, just as cold...

 
can't shake this chill in the air
can't feel whole anymore
can't see reason to believe
that everything will be okay...

 
I feel a trance coming on...
(where are the strings?)

 
she said it after the fact
flatly matter of fact...


 
"There are no facts, only interpretations."

I just wish I could speak my mind instead of minding what I speak...

 
(set to trip hop beat and a funky bass line)

Solitude
I never see you
as clear
you ring out
rung out
flung out
about a maze
where, amazed,
the Minotaur -- with two more --
runs guided tours
and Theseus had to pay at the door

escaped to fly
high
higher than the wind soars
the wax in your ears melts
as Icarus himself felt
the rush of emotion
as he fell to the ocean
and rolled around in pain
forever vain
and vanity
drives more men mad
then the sad sirens' song

so what's wrong?

 
tonight was epiphanic... for the first time, thoughts and emotions blended and formed a synergistic voice that sent me visions of things I dare not even speak of... I saw what the sages and artists draw from... I felt as if I was looking for the first time again, with a tired eye -- with my tired I's...

I Am The Robot.
*shivers*

Though the whole world turns away
Full of anger and dismay,
Let us keep our lunches down
And maintain an iron frown.


 
I'm so tired... tired of planning my life. Let it come what may...

"One who achieves supreme illumination is like an arrow flying straight to hell."

You can release at any moment. It's great up there, and you need a mantra to keep you away from it until you learn how to use it. Here's the mantra, and if you knew the peril you are in you'd brutally burn it into your backside with a branding iron to make sure you'd never forget it: I Am The Robot... Repeat it.

You are the robot and you'll never be anything else.


*looks around* Who said that?

 
splendid squalor...

 
amniotic conversation is lost among a yearning for something more.
silent declarations, secret ruminations, endless permutations,
and in the dream time of alonethought, I can still hear Her here...
here in my head I can hear the echo of raindrops
or were they tears
lost in the ripple, my reflection stutters and I can't even rely
on myself.

just a harder piece of coal...

 
the whiteness of the whale...

(emotions trapped/frozen in erudition... can you keep up? [are you?])

 
could this be the return of Mordecai the Foul?
(a little kindness goes a long way...)

 
You've got to run very fast to catch up to the sun...

"and you run and you run
to catch up to the sun, but it's sinking --
racing around to come up behind you again..."
-- Pink Floyd

in search of light... (not "the light," no, not that, not ever) You always need more light, when you're lost out here...

 
... suddenly, the last pang of guilt was gone; utter reproach took over and talked him into sitting. No thoughts would pass. No ideas formed from the chaos of his hebephrenic mind. He knew he would be forgotten and it was a comfort and a fear.

But none of that mattered because he again buried it so deep that nobody would ever find his insecurities again... (She stalks my mind, always in the guise of Love...)

an increase in empathy, a decrease in detachment
a feeling of floating permanently implanted
content to disappear, reborn as all nature...

igni natura renovatur integra

 
I guess the cards were right... that means that what's next is inevitable... right?

 
sometimes, when the whole world around me keeps telling me I'm crazy, I, for sometimes more than a brief moment, start to see what they mean...
but then I remember that I'm not crazy... just way too intelligent for my own good.

 
call me crazy and ego(t)istical, but...

"The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is."
-- Dante

 
"Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything."
-- Henry Miller

 
"Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions. It's a sort of spiritual clap, I should say."
-- Henry Miller

 
"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."
-- Henry Miller

better bring a clothesline... dirty laundry all around.

 
I know you better than this...
I know you don't mean the things you say...
I know that there are limits...

 
melancholy settles in
and drains my weary mind
and tortures me as pain runs through
in order and in kind

Sunday, February 02, 2003
 
remember: a little kindness and compassion goes a long way with me...

Saturday, February 01, 2003
 
I'm so disillusioned that I can't even sleep off this depression...
(they'll all see you for the liar you are soon...)

 
forever never seemed to short...
awaiting your next retort...
