This is not paper, this is not a book, this is a window and it scrolls and scrolls and can wrap words, and make space and waste
paper if paper this ever were in a world lit by fire, like
Lower Lebanon today... where children made memories
today
This is not a time of ignorance and witch burnings,
this is not a childhood meme micro mind virus thorn,
inherited in translation as we hardly see half of all we see.
Have you? I have? Am I rare, I dare say, we shall see. Maybe.
Individual doer of the right thing, say we know such men,
say I was such a man, and feel the shame of such pride,
others died, I did not, I prevented the shooter, I
did not take the shot.
Who is heroic and who is fretfully terrorized, lost fidelity
credulity law enforcement was once peace keeping, really
realized like Mainstreet Parades at all Disneyland Theme Parks,
bubbles we be in as everyman and every wombedman and ***
----------------------
------
look at these two old Boomers, they were called,
they were inadvertently modeled on the Bowry Boys,
and then the drugstore cowboys who ran the towns,
Sarsaparilla only soda joints, run by Odd Fellows,
I have suspected, while detecting sneaking suspicions
that now is not so unusual, except here, where the point
has been made, so few things are free from gravity, at once
those instants in prayer, when you know you got it, if it
makes you feel good, like it never was against the law,
to know how barren wombs are made to cry out,
and the horse leeches never are lifted to lips,
like Agent Orange, drink up newbie, chain of command,
any rank and file military mind, called up in the end, today
we take our stand, we make up our minds, we agree, we hold
inalienable right to the air we breathe and food we eat and good
we make we first part take, we make enough and enough to share
in times of peace we cease lying about undisguised wonder's worth,
but we try the spirit bearing word, imagine the whole community,
entire Dunbar Numbers Sized demographically predictable using
science and the law of large numbers coupled with the value,
at scale, of the code that converts massive stars KPOW ever so long
ago, we may now imagine more than Aristotle, and do it by age seven.
Okeh, we are not stupid savages in the rubble of Gaza, we are kids,
with refurbished Iphone like devices from China given out with
tiny solar chargers, what a wonderful school for the curious,
if we were allowed curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat, Eve was curios.
The wise serpent looked your way and winked, ought we say it, so
curious
you know the idea what a sin is and does eh? Ought we think it, ready
same as this samizdat is ready to be read and make a thunk. Really?
One knock.
Who gets let in?
Who is it, ask, and listen, I am wisdom
I am that I am, and listen, whither go ye?
Whither I am.
On Earth, as remembered, regularly, habitually, it's true,
I use a garden kush tincture in grain alcohol,
in about a quart jug add
about half a pound halfbaked garden flower
wait a while, a year or so,
make that an annual thing we do,
evaluate the children's worthiness
for scholarship support,
what a waste was I, well, truth told,
what I owed was wiped away, about the time,
I lost the contract in Yuma, and MyTechpeople
was techpeople poor, with Front Range Websites
hanging from a single server with a pseudo IP
allocating grand geek Radio Shack boss, I guess
Information Technology Assisting Instructor Graphics Guy.
Expert acquainted with CPM suitcase Osborns sold second hand
to preachers on the hallelujah trail out of Prescott, there's that
thread we said we see regularly while paying winds attention,
spider kites, like the end of Charlotte's web, but single, ones
some times those caught in the canyons, those stick around,
time stuck between eaves and porch rails, those spider kites
linger and always vibrate in bright streak of rainbow's hues
waving there for any with sense to see, these are not traps
these are pieces in the life that keeps earth working windwise
Coherency of signal, in these same winds, season after season,
some muse uses allowed in old ad lib performance, never the same.
Ever after any once is the do no more, we made it, did the deed,
left the code in qwerty conscionable plain text testible tasted
not by chance, but by deceit did Hamlet happen to die.
Has jazz roots, memory serves, musical intuitions in us, clapping
adapts, we work in meme fields culturally gelled before we became
adults with time on our hands to wash off or work off while living on.
I think in whole days and entire ever afters since any first ones ever,
as we, the children born into an irradiated at most fear, globally,
some of us got different doses, but the same set of great books,
Phaedrus still gives me pause,
and reminds me of Whitman's Swimmer, and BJB upside down
on a spur strap stamped by the pervy crafty arts teacher,
Did he ever black you out, yeah, the highschool teacher, MCUHS
he'd thumb close the big veins in the neck, and lay a kid out,
and he said nothing of us sniffing rubber cement,
before September Arizona Football Practice,
every year for four years and the future dims
all that ends and it's right now, asking what has been conserved?
Can I remember all their names, I can't, can I remember all my shames,
I can and know any man in my shoes, my stolen boots, and broken boots
my thrift store boots and my cobbler unpaid discount boots, all worked
to keep my heels at just the right angle for enough accumlative hours
to insure perennial pains in the neck without conscious, cocking an eye
leaning in to look a little closer, it is May 19, 2026. Merry, traditionally
middle school serves the role villages served in Fuller's childhood.
Some local worship, local live together under these written rules,
such as we have experienced in public class rooms, classified common
sense, as such free from taxes and levy and interest due on borrowed
books and books and books and books, boy, howdy did we have
'em full set of those great books advertised in Current Opinion June
1916, we had those, and all of Zane Grey, even the baseball one.

My friend don't hide away
Higher walls have been breached
By weaker men in older day
For reasons sillier in longer reach
Troy was sailed for lesser reason
Don't forgo this journey
The value cannot cheapen
Except in precepts failing worthy
You never said worthless
But your indifference demands the fact
I've seen how you move
I’ve seen how you act
It doesn't have to be this way
spread thin so low to the ground
In an empty room dancing all day
With only echoes of past sound
It is your heart imitating a silence felt
It is not a demand of your total worth
If art was painted with absent mediums
You would be an artist of infinite mirth
And what an artist you are
Had you eyes to see,
Shut so tight they wont even blur
So you mark the incur
Fleeting
The party went on so late
Because it was waiting for you
You kept clean the slate
Anticipating rejection due
While you hide in the room,
till the guests all leave
As if you're not worthy to be seen
But this room was made for you
The floor waits for your image gleam
This room, it is not all that is left
It is not the final place to dance
You are not bound to this interior
You need only assume the stance
And face the crowd that hides in
your mirror
You may go as you please
There is no need hide from your sight
The door will open with ease
The sun was shining when
I walked into the night
It will shine no less for you
Should you just choose to reach for it
with grace imbued
You are the perfect part
Of an imperfect work of art

No need to be so hostile…
Unless, of course; you’re happy being the abused and the abuser… the miserable and the miser…
No need to be so hostile…
Unless, of course; you think that the pavement is only meant for you and nobody else matters…
No need to be so showing; unless, of course you believe that this way you can love like an image that never moves but stays stable…
No need to be so loving…
Unless, of course -
You feel something beneath your skin -
Something more than just nodding, gobbing, prodding - giving into nothing - playing the game because that’s what you were programmed to do -
Rather than feel the blue - climb back up the marble stairs that dropped you - to the masked and dangerous depths of our inaction and compassion, where we hide and reveal our rarities rudely to a badly written opera script devoid of any course…
Unless, of course… you want to look at yourself climbing back to you from that floor, the shining mirror of the chandelier kaleidoscoping your charging spirit horse - you could rejoin them again and become one beautiful being…
Unless of course, unless of course…

I don't know how it happens, maybe because of the pulse of the air. The destiny of the eye that sees is an oracle of salt. It's good to ask the skin to keep her tales unfinished. How to explain the roundness, the warmth of tears inventing the curvature of thought. This curvature that keeps the edge of the world from falling into herself, that cuddle the soft tissue of darkness. My ribcage cries a cry raising from the center. My tears, your tears, it doesn't matter whose tears, there is this thread tying the stuttering of light like the time that ties lovers in a rented room.
my wounds your wounds the solitude the dread the call without an answer the hands without mind the words that humiliate the oblivious heart the cruelty the silence of seduction the curves of temptation the magic of seeing the deadness the gospel of love our crying bodies without mind. I cry for this absence, this fullness, how they work like a dream. The body is teaching us how to unknow what we know. Stop and listen, search with imaginary eyes, I say to myself, see the backbone of pain hidden in plain sight. See the joy fighting to live, the joy that makes us loud and terrible and nonsulphurous at heart. Everything is there waiting to become.

Who we are now being the toll taken,
On behalf of each moment we relapse- the mind's Choir,
Transformations, now; until we cease to be
In position's symptomatic with abandon desire .
From the first awakening to the sighted's sleepless death-
We're bent under times unbearable weight, between each of the two,
I wont lose something beneath heaven's breath, worse,
Than the reluctant, peculiar, perfection of you.

I feel like society stupider with each year that passes by
In an ocean of tears "cancel culture" has bred to cry
Going deeper and deeper into debt
A diving submarine
Deeper than bottom of world's largest explored ravine
No oxygen to saturate lungs because we keep cutting down forests
Is it just me or does it seem like to Earth the human race is nothing but tourists?
Just the smoke of warfare lingering once the end is reached
Solution that will save our planet is one we choose not to teach
I feel it is too late to make this sinking ship float
No light at end of tunnel
No safety net
No lifeboat
I don't believe in God above so there is nothing to rescue me now
Just shallows which are strewn with sharp rocks anyhow
Where the price of living increases quality of life plummets fast
Predators prowl
Disguised politicians controlling crowds amassed
Nights filled with sounds of crying infants and gunfire
Cats and dogs euthanized in shelters
Number growing ever higher
The majority of generation too busy clubbing to care
How come only a couple of us are aware?
Treating less fortunate like carpets on the floor
Unless happening to them issues are easier to ignore
Miniscule portion of millennials are willing to ***** their expensive boots
Rather dance to mindless beats
(That is until someone short-circuits and shoots)
That's what it necessitates for them to focus on what matters
Oblivious up to the instant their sensory defenses shatter
Then victims share their harrowing account
False sense of security revealed
They tally up the body count
Experiences that in past would change character for the greater
Now shrugged off with a wave
(As long as there's a compensator)
And the judicial system mostly for show
Judges and prosecutors more corrupt than population could know
I'm searching for tangible proof this is truly the "land-of-the-free"
If I establish this message until echoed will I have weapons pointed at me?
Our government abandoned us
Requests are seldom heard
Self-protecting entities whose morals are all blurred
The people stumble through mud looking for a light
Darkness used to divide us pretending there's only black-and-white
It's one extreme or other
Exists no in-between
Stuck inside the matrix distracted by a slow-motion routine
Cycle repeated historically at such length it's difficult to recognize
This facade is choreographed right in front of our very eyes
Meandering as if we are born lost sheep
Badly deficient of guidance
Slope we're climbing too steep
We require a little push in the right direction
Declaring difference between patrol and protection
Each of us is so immersed in the pursuit of our own bliss
Don't realize in the process of grabbing we also fall into the abyss
And pull others with us so at least there's company there
When you're alone failure is much harder to bear
Reality is a ticking bomb nobody wants to face
If we don't figure out an answer eventually mankind will be erased
For things to become better we ALL must take a stand
Stop acting selfishly instead lend those suffering a hand

Be like the rain
unafraid to fall
Be like the sun
shining light upon all
Be like the wind
helping others take flight
Be the brave new dawn
after the dark stormy night
Be...
Be all you ought to be
Cos in your 'being' others may become.
JUST BE!

Subject enters trance
Subject enters trance state
Subject enters entrancement
Entrance word opens mind
Mental kind
Mind kind, man kind, male and female
see that fe,
see iron, the processed bile,
from certain ores - see a detail
allowed the ancient few who read
all the ancient writings, as we read
French or Farsi, today, we the augmental.
Augmented I, exo-mindful chooser bot,
software, with a calcium lattice frame,
any curious child could have been shown,
by way of instructions, seldom read, ready
do the drill. Do it again. Do another whole
day. Being particular as to what use is made
of my pronominal reality state, my real estate.
Non moi. My ever after all of that. This.
These
times that try men's souls, since this means
of forming information along bendable old bones,
Once, in the dreamtime's local translation mindspace
timeless,
nothing was.
Nothing was evil, and that was good, a chain construct,
mind chain, prior to any sense we readers hold chains
to represent, closed torqued rods of iron, formed
on the horn of the anvil, the only known anvil,
for the making of such things was closed knowing,
must be earned, this epithet, honest, most honed,
among the dull stone scattered across my plain,
Mam, re, remember,
Mamre had a plain called by his name.
Terebinthine Oaks, con-secration acknowledged,
by whom, asks my little boy, who knew which oak
Jacob buried the stolen idols lied about under,
for shame.
For shame, he who wrestles still, with the will
to be the bherer of all my own shame, amen.
Nothing hidden that shall… should we quibble?
Known is known,
and should one choose one may make a plain
from a point
once,
stretched this far. And holding… ad in fun item,
Chotsky for any one to open worm cans with.

He is everything
I'll never be;
enough and appealing.
I'm everything that
he isn't; broken and
entombed. Put away.
But becoming - blooming.

There's just something romantic about cornfields and 3am
Maybe it’s just the optimist inside of me
But the stars are shining so bright tonight, don’t you think?
They are so bright, the sky is so clear,
and I can feel your hand pressed against my side,
attached like a name
Maybe you’re afraid of the cold too
It was cloudy, the light on the edge of the horizon
Polluting the stars, they weren’t that bright
I feel you pull my body away from me
It’s so strange to feel warm, to feel anything
You embrace the cold
I cannot save you anymore than I can avoid becoming
The same sky I stare at
The breeze dances across my stomach as you bring me closer
Eyes staring into a cold sky
As you listen to me ramble on
About where the big dipper should be
If the stars were bright enough to see it

In my own mind, imperfect, refined
too adapt and overcome fear
evolve far beyond, change and respond
as grasping for straws, shedding tears
Harmony fails, for mythical tails
believing beyond any doubt
steel in my will, ground in the mill
screaming "ESCAPE, let me out!"
How did I fare, did I love, did I care?
becoming something abhorred
mental expand, excelling demand
too wander my soul
wanting
more

We Will Always Grow Up Realizing How unfair Life Can Get.. But Some Of Us Are Tired.. Some Of Us.. Go Through The Hardships While The People Who Believe We "Want" The Easy Way Out Are The Ones That Blindly Walk A Road They Don't Even Own. Such Nerve.. Why Do We Suffer What They Deserve?.. Even Through Our Difficulties.. The Fair That We Deserve Is Our Hope To Prove Them Wrong.. A Taste Of That Sweetness We Lust For That Many Of You Bitterly Devour Without Love... Life Can Choose To Be As Difficult As It Wants To Be.. But We Can Choose To Either Accept That It Will Get Worse... Or Become What Needs To Be The Better.

Fall becomes Winter.
Time changes. Time rearranges.
Each season provides its own challenge.
A shaving becomes a beard.
The snow falls. The snow piles.
Snowballs gain momentum and grow.
A scratch becomes an ache.
I can't breathe. I can't swallow.
I won't last long but this will last forever.
The cold becomes pneumonia.
I have coughing fits. I have blockage.
Phlegm builds an island to be marooned upon.
Habitation becomes hibernation.
The animals escape. The animals sleep.
They wait for the light to shine on them once more.
Mitigation becomes migration.
The birds fly away. The birds fly South.
As they flee their wings push cold air down toward us.
Winter becomes Spring.
I have become someone else.
A man who has felt another Winter.

I fear what I am becoming
What am I saying?
What am I doing?
Am I insane?
Where's my shame?
On the inside...
Where's my guilt?
Threatening to break lose...
Will I let it go?
Maybe...
What am I?
I don't know...

I put my voice under a light not knowing that it would burn to a crisp, and all you would hear would be the weakening growls of an animal refusing to die. I thought I had to speak to exist, when all one should ever have to do is be.

Look like the flower but be the serpent beneath
Teach for the hour but speak only for minuets
Love for the passion but **** for the pride
Climb for the high, screaming never enough
Remember the happiness
And weep, when you feel its echo.
A unique love owns
Both me and my Father (and brother)
As it's special home's
Found within one another.
So be what you are. Dare and think and move free
But humor always
the lover
your dad raised you to be.
