On April 18th 1955, as best as can be described, time itself-- the fundamental instrument of evolution and Life-- stopped. At exactly 7:20 am, as per the Clocktower at the end of main street. As per the pocket watch in my hand. As per the alarm clock upon my nightstand. As per the humming birds suspended mid flight in my front garden. All of nature, still... Have we come to a "Full Stop"? Ask me how long it's been... ask me. It feels as though it's been a few "days". The only indicator I have of this, is the panic spreading rapidly across town. "Frankie's kid just dropped dead. Running track. The kid was in better shape than "Mickey" Hargitay. Collapsed halfway through his 4th lap... Nothing but skin and bones, they found. Barely a body-- you would have thought it was an old man.", told stories of high crass. "My mother passed last night... she walked... She walked and aged a week with every step.... too weak to barely speak, she whispered, 'Here.' After 2,600 steps the bony woman clinging to my arm-- my own flesh and bone, my creator-- laid to rest." , told stories of elegance.

Life and non-Life are part of a system-- a "system-like" system, but one nonetheless. Where Entropy's that which is hidden from us-- and Information without meaning is total chaos. But hold. Poets, Bards & Thieves. Of shame, of game, of blame, they speak of secrets on the leaves. In more or less a drunken mess, their simmered shimmered consciousness could barely rarely quite express what causes them to grieve. After some hesitation and liquid persuasion, the only collusion this final conclusion: *Pain is entropic; Extra-sensory stimulation received as distortion via sensory limitations-- Confusing the mind refusing the signs, forcing us to shutter the blinds. But what is behind? Unveil pain's curtain and what do we find? Contextualisation, possible causation-- Mind-Body integration without hesitation-- palpable, abstract Information dissemination!*

Pain Loop Stasis
Magnetic sounds abound, reboundandresoundinglyastound within the subsonic harmonic; a melodic tonic sprung from the atomic phonic fountain of uncertain sonic frolic. WWWRRROOOSSSH WWWRRROOOSSSH RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMHHHHHHH Eclectic echoes from beyond A name.... of fame? A Dame? A Dane? A dum, Ba-dump? Once slain? Ordained? Ashamed? Lifetimes spilling...... . . . . Memories . . .. .... filling, nought thought.

Spoon-Fed Feedback
Dear Love, How dare you? Keeping me in the dark for so long... Blinding me with expectations, toying with my Ego, leaving me to fend off Fear-- and all for what? So I could grow? So I could see beyond this world of illusion-- beyond the farce of fame, the unending stroke of Time, the loneliness of pain, the screeching void of darkness? How dare you? How dare you break the comfort of the weak man I'd learned to be? Stripping off the habits from my body-- only to send them back in a tighter, sexier dress. Replacing the sweet nectar of oblivion with the sweeter taste of empty knowledge. Giving me false hope so I could see hope as false... How dare you give me life and just as swiftly take it back? How dare you test my patience, bow my will and give me faith? Making me responsible for my body, mind & soul-- granting wishes long enough to see them turn to dust. And all for what? So I could learn? So I could fall? So I could stand, so I could fall? As if your endless tide of giving and retrieving, over thousands of lives, could make me be like you. As if your never-ending understanding could ever make me bloom. As if by every test of strength you've sent, has been to know me true. As if by pain you'd see me gain a wisdom, such as you.... Love, Damian
