Your dreams have no meaning.
While you were sleeping. Your brain, lacking external stimulus, did its own thing.
There's no mysticism, no foretelling, and not an ounce of deeper reflection.
Get over yourself.

A poem a week, or so to speak. A rhyme, a quip, a riddle. This isn't the only thing I **** at. You should see me play the fiddle.

Some folks here, will write about love. Found, lost, forgotten. Though much like the *** of a long dead chicken. Tis seem a lil bit rotten.

Nah, I'm here to speak today on behalf of the absurdist view. Now take a deep breath you rat faced *****. Your perspective is askew.

Absurdism lends itself to the idea that none of it makes sense. That everything you think you know is derived from experience.

Your senses along with your mind in tow, shape how you think and feel. Though adept as they are, there's still some gaps between what's fake and real.

Falsified memories, vibrating atoms, light behaving like matter. We collectively dance, to the sound of the wind while watching our ashes scatter.

It's absurd to insist you understand life, when you've only just arrived. Nobody can tell what it all means, when nobody has ever survived.

So doubt the nature of nurture vs genetics, and forget everything I've said. Waltz and sing with an absurdist tonight. Cause tomorrow, you could be dead.

A *** bellied cockroach once tried to tell me, a story of woe and revenge.
Involving a candle, a beetle named Chloe, and a rat whose fur he'd singed.

I dusted my chest of parmesan, I stood up and said "**** me?".
"Well what I will do about this good sir, you'll just wait and see!"

So I put on my top hat and googles, and put my new friend at heed.
I summoned my most trusted horsey, and took off for the village with speed.

Of course I don't own a horsey, but the cockroach doesn't know this.
And once I talk to the rat, he'll see I'm just *******.

The imagination's a weird place. You never know where it'll take you.
You smoke enough hash and snort enough cheese, that ****** might just break you.

So yeah this linguistic adventure might be an exercise in futility.
But it's moments like this, I must insist, that there is at least humility.

It's as if the building is on fire
And I'm just happy I can finally lite my cigarette
My lighter, much like hope, had only temporarily been mine
I lost one in a field while wondering why I'd let go of the other
Honestly
I'm not sure it was ever mine to hold onto in the first place

My cat and I. Her name is Hazel.
We're just sitting here you see.
Myself, staring into the chaotic mess that is subjectivity.
Her? Well I myself am not foolish enough to think I could fathom what she's thinking.
However,
we sit in agreement on one subject.
We don't like you.

The door locked behind me.
So, sorry for that.
I don't know this world.
Or what is expected of me.
I'd go if I could do so without dying.
But you see,
there's this cat.
She doesn't look at me the way you do.
And despite me feeling the same way about you as you do I.
I have to stay.
Because, I can't trust you to feel the same way about her as I do.

I'm just not sure I trust it. This silly mind of mine. It's not without it's purpose though, as it helps me tow the line. I'm still not sure I trust it, this silly mind of mine.

It's an ever evolving, problem solving, slowly dissolving, mass of electric jelly. And they tell me to trust my gut. Isn't that part in my belly?

Nope I will not trust that thing. Nor this illusion we share in kind. My perception is askew in this silly mind of mine.
