58/M/Earth still think Pluto is a planet.
Making the best of a rotten situation When the going gets hot Don't go away I'm on fire Self immolation drills Paying off in spades and thrills I Like walking with you slowly round at night...where dim, yellow-green, floating mercury vapor spotlight tunnels form randomly across the loosley manicured grounds "Seems  that some here have formed a cohesive shared opinion...uhh.. individually, uh, that you're not very good company, mime." "i was thinking i could ask you, but...mimes are mute right?" "Aahh; no matter. a story i know instead perhaps"? "As this"? Fill the earth Full of filth Fill bags and boxes Full of death New world burning light up the sky Push it on back Demolish Destroy When does it end? Never so far Forever free or imprisoned in Black space and stars Returning forever Remember the wheel? And this house full of monkeys? this round house is ******* bizarre Where "The forgetting" Is a lie, And escape is laughable. Stuck here and out of gas Like a dead-letter postcard to ourselves Dated and sent from some parlour-trick fantasy future Where the switch-up is almost, nearly like dying but it's  happy hour and real death is a two for... Do your best to remember This day for the endless eons that follow When the new morning calls It's the one thing we can do for Ourselves One another For us all. carry the weight of your memories with you. Study them and commit them together two convict souls strangers to each other a life, then real death sentence pronounced they slide out for real done, if they like, and quite unnoticed

Pick it up, Set it down. It was working fine yesterday, But today it won't make the right sounds. Pick it up, Set it down. Sometimes it's receiving information, Sometimes it's just loud. Pick it up, Set it down. Sometimes there is nothing Better, Sometimes I don't want it around. Pick it up

Dastardly takes a turn for  the obvious According to him he's the best and only The street is whispering to everyone that qwestion is coming back again He has only one home It is always nearer Today the pain is quite palpable It wears no disguise Bears no pretense Speaks no lie Qwestion is my best ever companion Always better than I No matter who drags who from the fire There is qwestion A rumor now but becoming Every day our house closer to real shelter Closer to home

Qwestion, my dog
Want a drink a couple of smokes a girl to love with I quit all three Two by choosing to I think I will do myself a favor Give the girls another whirl Like a tiger by the tail Like a ride Over the moon Like nothing ever mattered Mmmm Yeah, that's her Make me crazy with her need For loving on Make me smile every time Make my whole day better All the way Make the day a song I'm in her sway We're all the way...

Wrong (note to self)
Money matters and work Leave me feeling anxious and awkwardly wondering What is it that I love to do most? Burnt out brain, broken body, not even 60 years here and wishing I wasn't this souls host Quitting would be easier than finishing my list of shit-tasks that I can't afford to hire someone else to do. Pointless progress. Selling my soul for dollars...pitiful Rust is what I'm made of. That should tell you something. Rarely inspired, exceptions being; love of rocks and music and the things that make my love of those things more accessible I believe that the frequency at which things vibrate is indicative of their nature. Especially when focused on over a period of time, no less than...next time I'm quite nervous naturally. I don't really fit in or feel connected, mostly, I guess The sum of those parts being equal to or less than the fact that I really don't care what you think about me or the way that I operate. I adore freedom as a sovereign individual. Which means that I  would defend another's personal sovereignty as my own As it should be. As above so below. And then there is the easy confidence that I am an innately decent person. I cherish loyalty and adoration of someone else. I can be impressed with etiquette, manners and control of ones composure. I loath bullies and predation upon children and the innocent. I know what I would **** and die and live for. I am not a stranger to oaths, covenants or agreement. I am familiar with honor but cannot claim it. Courage neither I am familiar with failure and loss and grief and may lay claim. I miss my kids. I missed being a father because I was full of self pity and my mouth was full of lies. There are reasons but they are lies. I simply failed as a father I feel destitute when I think of it. I like tiny things. Small boxes and trinkets and gew-gaws and what-nots. I like grass and the smell of a pasture in the morning. I like blue sky. I like the feeling that I am on vacation forever. I like a road-trip. I like dogs and horses and kids and my elders and loud live music. I came here to serve my maker I will not quit Tomorrow then?

Everyone here knows you We all hope you're well They all want to know you better Understand it's understood Put the past to rest Because i only tell them Good About me i tell the truth They see me and size me up and Let me shine Encourage me to Epic things Again The place they made for me is mine They hear what i say And shake their heads Wondering Why would I hang on I say it won't be long now It's been a long day I say But now it is gone Hoping is a weak way Of figuring out how much to Speak out of my mouth Action is louder You know what they say About words anyway Drastic means were Necessary To stop the bleeding We were likely to die Right where we were Maybe we did I'm not obsessing or thinking much about things still I'm in my humble neighborhood That's a blessing beyond measure If you will Grateful feels good i Think we were great You did a bad thing It wasn't too late

Everyone here knows you
you said love   i was already mystified you never said, it's done and breaking, i watched from outside, our runaway undoing I simply could not wave if indeed my thoughts and actions are tangibly mine to command, now and next moments that i create, i will still love like an adolescent, mixing whatever i have within me simply with simple-easy to relate; ask me again, how i know that i love you i will do my utmost to simply tell the truth
