i tell her the truth "je suis en amour" i say we are but youth, yet my heart is so sore her reaction uncouth she points to the door do you not recall words spoken before? was our love such a war? must you have poured my heart out onto the floor? and burned my soul to its very core? “this talk is a chore, and ill have no more. get out and stay out, garçon en amour!”

You worry about the harm one could do? I'm worried about the harm being done. You're worried to offer an inch? I tell you, grab a hold of my arm!

Hell, Grab The Arms!
An old boy's philosophy, ambles up arrow in one hand, strung bow in the other… Aim at nothing, you cannot miss. I watch this idea, nothing more, no thing, a thought… nock the shaft, draw back the bow, but not as I expected, not as I saw ahead, not aiming at the skies, outmost limit… no, this arrow aimed at me. Or was it you? Mustabin you, or nothing, as intended, I was aiming at nothing, to prove I could still hit it as easily as once, when I was young, and at the brink… of next, laughing

and at the brink... of next, laughing
It ended before it began. I think that’s how the saying goes. It was for the best, I’m sure. I’d have broken my own heart and not let you pick up any of the pieces. But before I hug you, wish you the best, and tell you to stay in touch as we part amid a myriad of clichés, I have one grain of truth to share: You made me feel beautiful again.

The merged generations, emerge from first cold night in the mountains, announcing, This is screen-free Sunday. I say this is the first day of ever after. I read a bit -- Infinite Jest, just a stream that contributes, from time to time, finity to finity, a dead man's former mind fitted into words, emanating from the audible version of the words processed in the Nineties, flowing through the post I-Mac realm of words to the wise and otherwise, flooding the lexagraphic learners of grammar for sense in silence, self-reading silently, breathing commas, allow our pauses to perpetuate se per selah… say la la la as time flows by, like a wild river in the spring, Infinite Jest, there is a thread through environs unimaginable to me, until the inventions were given as inspirations, did you know, I heard, Steve Jobs yoosta stand in the comode, and flush it, gnoshit. In a state like meditation, zoned out of bounds in mere mistaken chance, ping ping ping a good idea, a bell of a thought. We think in words, not all minds do. Plenty punishments puns provideo please if -ish is sortalike… shitilised, four syl-lables la la la ra ra ra, boom sort on those, and mix up the story, in the bubble you be reading in, give us a universe, fit into the final bubble, beyond imagining minds, this world of words. Here is where we word wise do as we heard, when we read what the prophets say, the angels said… re- conciliation - nation to nation, peace on earth {as in heaven BTW} goodwill… the real deal, to fill the flaw, in the law, which allowed imaginary places power in carnal minds. Jesus fixed that. Jah, no joke, he took it, the joke on me, I traded for the joke on you, he said, I heard.

the old live-sex shows on Time Square remind me of transgressive Performance Art. Public mind ******* Sounds like a blast. The infant princeling left to fend in the wild wilderness; it's pretty awesome at that. You make me surprise myself, she said up on her small haunches; her perfect Persian eye kaleidoscopic yes yes yes how's that? I can't remember anymore. If I do, I'll tell you about it. I'd like to unwrap u like a gift; surprises are the face mystery wears in public. Oedipus felt his strength increasing; called before the Olympian beside the likes of Prometheus, Theseus, Jason and Heracles, Hermes and Dionysus; chosen as immortal constellations; Oedipus the King; his soul wandering over Egyptian sands; he hears her; Her voice is sweet like a song "I'm sitting here wondering if that's brilliant or ridiculous. I guess I'll just call it ridiculously brilliant." That will likely not be the last time i say that to you. Don't let it be the last; I love being both ridiculous & brilliant. Peering in her crystal she says: "You don't let it be the last."   As if you would attend the marriage of dadaism & quantum theory cat licking her paw purrs I don't even know what that means, but it's sweet that you thought I would. ur not knowing is sweet; I'd say more but I think this is where we would not know together in the cloud of unknowing of the mystery of the unsaid in the suspense of discovery. Blinking in the sunlight, she says: "Is that your poetic way of telling me you said something, and don't even know what it meant?" the knowingly unsaid said knowingly "Are you ****** not particularly, he replied. "Must be just me." Now it was Oedipus who blinked; must be or maybe together we're a puzzle wrapped in a riddle. I think we got each other figured out, she said. I feel like Oedipus to ur Sphinx he said. I'm not sure I remember the correlation said she. the correlation of what? Oedipus and Sphinx okay...

Once starshine Once iodide For years healing You're done healing You hard stop You immolate Every word To ember but You made a line of fuel right to me that I will follow I swore I'd Sing should you **** me Unless you took my tongue with you I see you thought sealing my mouth with stitches Would drown my cries We see See how well that worked Now don't we?
