All the metals of the Earth, Are forged in the Sun, And the stars..... And are in your love, And in your heart, And of course in jets and cars. Praise this Process! integrating everything at once. As science rears its homely head, At whatever man confronts. Heaven lays in perilous woods, Where evils lay entwined with goods... Where any man can fall in love, And thank Thee Always God above.....

Science of Love
this space filled with placeholders like mannequins like first drafts like sketches . that weightless non-committal holding together of not functional being . there was no space for something substantial no space for something tangible .

was there no more room left for another
damp grass from the hillside is cold on my feet as I walk hands in my pockets and head looking down legs leading slowly downhill towards the sea. There's something about going for a walk that makes it easier to think even if you completely ignore your surroundings or don't go very far. The sand surprises me the soft white powder that shifts between my toes and my feet slip a little with every step. For the first time in a while, I look up the sea is darker than usual, it's turbulent as well, but I stop for a moment on the edge of the water. Imagine If I fell in I'd probably turn into driftwood and then just float off until the water pushed me up onto some deserted beach and then pulled me back in and then pushed me up again eternally caught in the space between sea and shore the space between here and there between is and isn't between impulse and inactivity I'm already there.

Set Adrift
Wooden woman waiting outside of a grocery store in North Berkeley Made tired by time, chips of wood had fallen in masses from her body, entire aspects of her anatomy had eroded away-- most of her nose, her left ear, her right cheek, her ******* half her stomach She had been a tree, torn apart, reassembled in the form of a female human being, no sign of life in her sightless gaze I guess she’s gone now, after all those years I went to look for her and found only an antique shop with a peculiar name at the address where she should have been I would have liked to have seen her one last time, this statue that fascinated and frightened me as a child I’m glad she’s gone, though-- She resemble less and less a woman, was becoming clearly merely wood cut into tiny pieces and glued together She resembled less and less a woman, and I’m glad she was killed before she ceased to be art

The Wooden Woman
Come enter the darkness Come witness a monster, a man Of features of a rare creature With a clear path for a seeker With a life of a greeter. Stay warm in this cold world with heater Away from the gangsters and strippers. Join the growers and hipsters. Free like in the Castro and Mission. Always in the corner, being a loner, getting high like a stoner, being awake unlike an employee and being free. Don't you see the system of delusion where they draw the conclusion but it's time take back the power and find a resolution And lead to a revolution

See through
Mind blasting with actions Living up to the name of Maksim I'll smash it while you crash it I shiot to the moon while I blast it Never wasting my time with humans lacking passion who stuck at the first station while I hustle to live in a mansion you chasing while Im embracing the chaos and Stand solid on the soil living royal as the ace with a strong base and never chase because I'm ahead of the race. Smoking purp in the Berk on the curb Staying high as we fly and surf Through the sky with the crown on my head, taking charge and staying ahead so I'll continue tomorrow because it's time for bed

Sounds of your flaws disrupt tress with once gentle moves. Now they shade other aspects of movements. Hot summer, flowers green from the rains. In bloom effect you should try this spot out.

Flaws
I shouldn't have bothered. I thought this was a posh area. Now I see it's not. 'Tommy Rot!' Look at the gardens. The lawns are covered in weeds. 'Rubbish! We grow herbs a lot.' Even you're car's a mess. Not been cleaned in ages. 'I wash it often, every guilt trip day.' And those dogs, do they howl all night? 'Oh no. Nothing like that. It's just the neighbours in a fight.'

i. what a mess you’ve made of me cause i’ve spent so much time in your eyes lately and i like the way you smile when you're falling apart over last call at the bar i swear you look at me like i just lifted a car (surprised and confused and afraid and amazed) when i’m raving like a mad woman about climate change and you keep the drinks coming and my heart pumping all night long. ii. the grey area is not where good love goes to die it is where good love is never born thighs are kissed but hearts are not broken and those of us who dwell there prefer it that way (but i don’t mind if you stay) iii. though i would have preferred if you’d kissed me earlier and hurt me less, with you i always take what i can get i want you to teach me everything you know about making love and weapons of mass destruction (why do ugly thoughts consume such a pretty mind?) come here, baby i am not the bad guy. iv. and i’ve been feeling restless like my chest is on fire thoughts twisted up i told you with me its never enough (and then it’s too much) electrify me just to pull the plug don’t you know it’s better with the lights on? i’ve never felt so ******* untouched as i have these last few nights passion isn’t patient but timing is everything, right? (i knew you’d change your mind) t.m.

the grey area
The doors were shut again. Inside, Wendy could hear him typing. The click and clack sounds of a typewriter had grown monotonous to her, a never-ending drone, so unlike a human heartbeat. Jack said, “Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you’re breaking my concentration. You’re distracting me. And it will then take time to get back to where I was.” She placed her hands up on the doors and put her ear to the wood, listening. Click and clack, click and clack. Jack said, “When you come in here and you hear me typing, or whether you don’t hear me typing, or whatever the **** you hear me doing; when I’m in here, it means that I am working. That means don’t come in.” Jack asked, “Now, do you think you can handle that?” Wendy liked to believe the best sound in the world was the sound of creation. Jack favoured the clatter of typewriter keys. Wendy preferred the sound of laughter. Wendy wondered, with all this typing going on, if she could still keep her place in his heart.
