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.)

patient
the circumspect circles
growing darkness around my eyes
begging for residence as another sleepless night
beckons dawn's rosy fingers

light
less a load in a sense
but less nonetheless

dreams
restless in themselves
unnerving in context of the morning after email
and I haven't seen sunlight in days

waking hibernation
dangerous limbo of malnutrition
a diamond's scattering of light frosts the bitter residue
of a faithless wonder boy
boy wondering if there is a reason
a plan or a great tapestry that is bigger than he
and the days that feel like these

reconcile your two faces
the world and mine
don't close your eyes for sleep until the
wee hours of twilight's morn
turning everything black and white
in a world of shades of grey

this is my compromise
my eternal satisfaction

I wish it didn't hurt to say these things
forget tomorrow and yesterday
(it's all a blur anyway)
forget me
but you're wearing my shirt
and my heart is on the sleeve
and your smug confidence is offputting

this is not my compromise
my eternal disappointment

take a breath, my scent is gone
forgotten in the wash like a heart betrayed
and where were you, when I needed
you
are my broken dreams and promises
faded over time like the day you were mine

this is my love's demise
my eternal satisfaction

even when the odds are stacked against me
(and especially so, then)
I will not faulter to fabrication
no whys become no lies when
answered disproportionately
consequently, futhermore, and henceforth
a locked lock granting no consequence
for the keys themselves, being not themselves,
queued in a trance of false witness

a slave, as pound wrote, is a man
waiting for somebody else to free him
so i must go without offence
and deny contrafactual definiteness for the sake
of less than convention
and a fundamental (though bibliomancic, at best) truth
(at the end of it all, so you'll likely skim the rest)

The price we paid for that vision was the possession of that vision...

 
Pressure has a way of exposing our fault lines...

"Wow, your life is a soap opera, huh?" --Greg

I suppose it is, but not in the mildly entertaining (okay, horribly addictive) way. I have long suffered fools, and I have never done so gladly. I guess what I mean to say is that the things that I do to help people, misguided as some of these attempts have proven to be, are rarely and unceremoniously appreciated. Of course, there have been a few notable exceptions (you all know whom you are... both of you), and for those I am indebted... my respect will always be due to those who are strong enough of character to admit when they have been wrong, especially without any prodding on my part (don't be cheeky!). In all fairness, my advice and counsel was not oft requested, but it is truly a wise person that knows of acceptance despite themself. I have not been this wise at all points of my life (less so now, in fact), but the great thing about life is change.

Change doesn't happen right away, but rather slowly and gradually -- at least so it would seem to those watching us. But inside us, we feel the change as almost an affront to our comfortability (read: stagnation) of self-preservation. You don't wake up one day and suddenly act like a different person (or even the person you might want more than anything to be) or forget everything that has happened to you and start anew. But there is a day that comes when you can look at yourself in the mirror when you're doing something ordinary or mundane and catch a glimpse of yourself -- one of those powerful, thought provoking looks that are generally reserved for judging other people -- and you can be proud of the progress that you have made toward what you want. If it truly is what your heart wills, then happiness is surely not far off.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law...

oh, and in better news, I have decided that I am going to renew one of my old nicknames...
*raises a glass* here's to better times and lots of quackery... *quack*

The message now is that the message keeps changing.
Intelligence must increase as consciousnesss expands, or we get burned-out.
I got rid of my own fears as a new year's resolution.
But now, I have no fear of other people's fear.
Truth. Truth.

there is no need to repeat the old misery imprints.

wherever there is danger, opportunity is there as well...

 
12 dimensional spacetime
a lattice of superstrings
arranged in interlocking pentagons
but time
    is a human construct

vibration
a cosmic front side bus
clicking the quanta of the experimental
turned experiential
only after the comprehension of a science
can the beauty of a science take over
written prose
aghast and ghostly
a reflection (an imperfect copy at best)
of peace

I, who cannot trust, have failed you. I trust now, you will do the same.

 
every line calculated to be as cold as possible and cause the most amount of damage.

(I can't be broken anymore)

I will not sit idly by and be accused of the very things to which I am being subjected.

(I can't be alone)

I will not love you again.

(I will not hurt you anymore, unless by absence)

goodbye

(goodbye)

 
I guess I need to be dead...

 
all human beings (and most of the non-beings too, I suppose) are disgusting, mishapen, disgusting meatbags with no more sense than immediate (or the closest thing to immediate) gratification of social pressures... nobody feels their blood boil quite like he can; being a nerd at heart, he always associated with the closest approximation that sci-fi could come up with -- the Vulcan's Pon farr. When the world around you closes in (okay, get ready for the biggest nerd pun I've had in weeks) on you, fuck everybody.

even the deepest part of every person is laced with some carnal desire designed to increase their chemical output in the body, be it hormones or neurotransmitters or the all to common squirts of dopamine. What can you mean?

what can you mean?

I feel like I have something to say, but I can't ever find the words.
I want to communicate, but too much is lost in translations
loose approximations at best and all too common misunderstandings

I would feel contempt, but it falls in the realm of inexperience
a lack of total understanding -- not communication
understand?

you don't get it
you probably never will
and yet the understanding you claim to have
will forever elude you
in the darkest times

there is a reason
for all injustice

there is a word that speaks
of all inequality

there is no word or set of words
for reprogramming
