the deepest hole


at the end of most endless conversation



i can see you

after the bottom
before the beginning

lies
a place for nowhere
    north
beyond
    north

the end of our start

you have,
                   lovely eyes

in beast
alchemy
and sound's fleshy

through a potient called language
we paint a world full of meaning

we give names to the un-nameable
reason to the unreasonable

we throw clocks into the void

through a potient called language

and my dear it's just time,
but with a name

(come again?)
  and end it right

to have control over the direction your life proceeds in

to have an agency
to have a goal

to proceed forward toward something
with a fantastic amount of urgency
from a quietly undying energy

to vigorously embody a purpose
            without cause


(makes you, alive)

sedation is not sleep

like noise brought to harmony

i will see you

in the end

you will see me

before it's over

but will we know that...

sedation is not sleep

noise is not harmony

life is not death

yet

shape without form

to exist beyond reason

will you come with me?

take our claws off

dance clever like,
    without purpose...

to make,
some reason beyond shape
like a season
      without death
or another movie that never ends. . .
just    in time

i don't have a country

and the noise i will make

doll face....


I shall wish it to have came
      from nowhere

not like
  we all come from something

and you can hide
and we can yell
and we shall make a scene
and pretend

like it's all the same
either way

that I will see you
When we see us

One day

and Nothing will find us

Where we pretend to be found

Because we never really existed

you mother ******* idiots. . .

Let's take this from the top
(tonight ;)

the point of a boat
is to keep the ocean outside

and the point of our eyes
is to keep the world from overwhelming our minds

and for that to be backwards
like fighting a rain forest
just to find some more rain

well, thats quite ******* insane

but, the way you will most definitely
learn how to swim quickly
     is to remember where the boat is. . .
in the middle of your ocean
