More for me, more for you
More for us, more ado

This I can't help, the fire within
I try to say nay but nay it is to kin

This music in my soul, it needs a singing bowl
This freedom in my lips, it needs a tap O drips

These winds of thy awry
They rip & shred & die

The howls of the one remain
They leave their ****** stain

Non-sensical words amok
Non-sensical days tick tock
Points of Synchronicity:
The most significant element of this poem is its synchronistic date.
It occurs on the same day as a Dream I call The Awakening of The Artist.
Unlike many other dreams, it had no content, or at least no content I could remember.
Yet its message was clear: The Awakening of The Artist.

After this day the poetic rate of inception begins to skyrocket.
As does the rate of inception in other artistic mediums.
Within the context of poems, one can see this quite clearly by observing that the first 16 poems happened in 444 days (D9000T -> D9444T) whilst the next 16 poems happened in approximately 6 days. This rate of poetic inception has continued more or less since.

Beyond the synchronicity of the Awakening of The Artist, it also seems to usher in the incorporation of more Alien / Symbolic / Transformed language; language that without the appropriate mappings could be viewed as Nonsense, and yet with the appropriate mappings the sense in the Nonsense can be found.

Points of Representation:
There are corresponding intonations & visuals for this poem & they help bring the essence of the poem to the forefront, but the distribution of such will have to wait.

         A Nation of Couch Cabbages Blames the Chinese Communists

A question may be brought about ownership
And the turgid content of the daily trawl
But even before the question of censorship
                    One must ask
Why are adults on TikTok at all?

Tic toc
it’s half past eleven
I had a dream and thought;
I am in heaven.

Tic toc
heaven turned into hell
am I still dreaming?
I can’t tell

Tic toc
it’s an hour past midnight
I am wide awake
and wrapped in by the night

Tic toc
on the clock blinks a fat two
I have only one thing on my mind;
and that is you

Tic toc
now it’s already three
a devil on my shoulder tells me to overthink
and I agree

Tic toc
it’s nearly four
I am still not tired
and think some more

Tic toc
now the clock shows five
and god, how grateful I am
to be alive

Tic toc
my windows let through, the light of dawn
but my eyes close and show me darkness,
to which I am drawn

Tic toc
my alarm rings an hour later
I am exhausted because insomnia
struck again, this traitor

Tic toc tic toc
Its time to make a heart stop
Clock at 12, noon has struck

Time to make a body drop
Outrun by the mighty father time
Crashing down from way up top

Tic toc tic toc
Its time to watch a body flop
Cause of death

Time ran out
Out of breath
Cry and shout
Old poem i wrote just as an experiment

— The End —
