Streams of Consciousness

Oh, But what does it all mean Hidalgo? Are we to fly in the face of the North Wind forever? My mind has gone blank at the question. Stranger still, the story perceived in prescient anticipation of the exact mentioned query once expounded upon spanning millions of miles of eloquent esoteric linguini, wit and charm with a dash of philosophic consequence, to fool you (the eager) into belief. What is belief Hidalgo, but the suspension of reality, for an adept deeper world of unseen truth? Do we see reality at all my friend? It is already shaped by our perceptions, responds to our expectations, nay we have not a clue, perhaps the arcane texts written by the hobo scholars of old hold the answer, so yet we settle on the material and fixate it as the lone clear star in an otherwise dark and cloudy sky. Mysteries abound behind the cosmos. Even when we look, do we really see, or are we as an insect upon the written page, crawling over the plain meaning? Is our capacity to hear underwhelmed by our propensity to listen? All these senses must count for something, for God is in a blade of grass, is he not, felt by the trodden hoof of the foot. You’re a clever mad man Hidalgo. Ay, the penultimate creator, singing in a sea of song, shining in a wave of light, lost in a dance of fractals, we are all the same rascal, blind though we are to the portrait of man, always creating, same as my neighbor, weaving dreams into Technicolor realities to beam into a future unknown. Our descendants watching us as reality television, mocking our fallibility, or perhaps empathizing and learning through telescopes strong enough to win a foot race with the sun; flying around the bend of space time and back. The birds of the island are calm today; think they favor a slumbering respite from the noonday heat? Mayhaps we’ll take a stroll across the columnous muddy bed, risking grey clay mummified suffocation; I dreamt as such. Yesterday’s storms make the journey perilous. My own thoughts leak from the grandiose ether and compel me to genius, the condition of the interminably insane or divine. My bare feet tread the good earth, the 3rd density, in a daily attempt to stay grounded, however my mind is always floating, receiving transmitted whispers. Sanctified secret musings of the muse. Scribbled poetry of another dimension, meaningless to the materially minded, yet wholesome for the moment. Like a thunderstorm whose power is plain, yet unheard and unseen as the forest falling with a tree. Where do the tree and the forest begin? Are they the same root? Like my thoughts from a universal mind, the zeitgeist of an all-encompassing mood, a social memory complex. The sophists will claim you are dodging responsibility. These tangents serve only to feed your egoic mind, but put no food in your belly nor rent in another’s hand. Ay, but its creation all the same. A tirade of compulsions. The ringing of the hill grows, the natural chorus of bugly unison screaming its existence into the manifold, manifesting itself to the initiate. For what are they asking, could it be peace? Ha Ha! Those shrill like cries wound the ears of the prideful dog, but are contained in the silences of the infinite potential all the same. A man may change one hundred lives in a day, and earn no material currency for his unasked effort. Therefore, who is trivial? I change the wind by simply being, its current flows over me and the endless blades alike. Vibratory love, what is that feeling, the realest phenomena of all? Bliss in its own awareness, reveling in self-revelation, actualization, the knowingness of the child who still sees the spirit existing in each of the physical realm’s shadows. The taste of the foul and pure passing without judgment to the innocent tongue. A simple being secure with the wisdom of the wise. Does the power come from you or the hill, inspiring motions, accounting on the page symbolically. Break it down further. Dissolve. Ejaculate into nothingness. What is cheating Hidalgo? Is the ant called to my arm by its own volition, how did it find me here on this patch of earth formed into mound by ancestors buried below. Opening up all channels now. Death locks the door with life’s key. Should I let him crawl over me repeatedly? Ten words to speak before the coming of the night. Creative Destruction Awake from the trance Guns and Bullets Shoot from our hands Teller of Tales Faint whisperer Of sordid man’s Hallucinatory waking Follow the Beam Follow the beam The world before this world Secrets unseen My best thoughts come As I lie suspended awake in sleep Before sleep No troubles The curse runs blood deep He closes the book but still speaks in rhyme The riddle draws madness The tongue laps up the fire Drawn from self same wells Will and Desire Pruning and Preening Political Beasts are we Lost in our notions I find, I keep Braggadocioc Players Upon the Worldly stage Every person has the story Only what is real? What is fate? So I lift my hat To another year born true A quarter century passed Play the tune Am I awaken by words from another man’s sleep? What is the source of the tetradactyl nature? My hexagonal heap Of flesh and bones Earth and dust Brought together again by unending sound vibrating ceaselessly I sleep but am not rested Eat but am never full The piper plays among the sand Whirling in the heart of the caged word If I keep my eyes fixated on a point, in actuality my vision expands and visualizes all Reputationally speaking, I am an ant, with male pattern baldness We forget to chuckle at life’s absurdities, just as we pass by flowers without engaging the fragrance. Rest your head with the hillside now Restless wanderer of fantastical dreams Treading water silently until our legs melt Just as the weary albatross cries its last song over the harbor or the butterfly flaps its freckled wings, so too will we see the setting of the sun and a coming of the new dawn. If the chalk works carved in the abandoned sidewalk are to be believed, so must we girdle ourselves for the coming tides and lift our spirits once more for the ebb and flow of circumstance. The bike rides in the gutter all the same, and the forgotten cemetery stone stands as testament to the age gone by.
