Don't believe people, they are mad, because you know -- you are of sound mind.

Don't believe people
Everyone would like to preach and judge at some point: own ethics come first!

Then out the Void, The Monster springs, To serve his maker, Man.

i write to describe the tales of my existence but not even an entire language can put into one’s heart the essence of experience for my words will form their meaning within the mind of the other my words are clay between the readers hands my writing is the blank page

Being objective is easy, less scary as -- being subjective.

[ Being objective ]
If it feels good do it again In repetitive continuum Take the mind for a ride We are mechanically sound The great and powerful imagination is hardly earthbound In the freedom of subjectivity emptiness and nothingness can hardly exist Traveling the synapses Is a very blissful trip!

Affirmation of life
In the TV screen, I see a reflection of who I want to be. In the mirror, I see a reflection of who I don't In your eyes, I see a reflection of who I can be. But in my mind, I fear I won't

Reflections
Two good, close Friends Separated by the Existence of humans. For they are Misunderstood by The species They originally Existed for. Called themselves "Objectivity" "Subjectivity". Tried extensively to Establish their individualism, Yet holding hands to Become mutually inclusive. For they were Unaware Lines drawn, fades. Misunderstood by Humans, Mutually inclusivity Confused As one. Silly of the two friends, Had no idea Humans have failed Humans for The longest imaginable Time. For they were Just mere Intangible, Failing them is And will remain An easy possibility.

Objectivity and Subjectivity
Does each of us see the universe from our own perspective? If so, does each of us live in our own perspective-universe? If so, is objectivity impossible and only subjectivity happening? If so, to achieve a cooperative society does each of us have to empathise with each other's unique perspective-universe?

Your Own Universe?
*The stars are always in disarray But at the mere thought of you they sashay Before you twinkling and mingling in collective merriment. How you whip up this loyal admiration is a fascination as ancient As yesterday’s headlines. The sun wondrously In isolation marvels at your brilliance that clearly Manifests as your countenance. You thrive On immortality’s soul as each nerve On your body is as ageless as the sun. You’re full of cheer and so much fun. Yours is an incomparable beauty My lovely and charming cutie. A celestial masterpiece you are Your eccentricity spreading wide and far.*

A celestial masterpiece.
Whenever one lays their eyes upon us, What is perceived is something that exists Only at the peripheries of their mind, while Things that makes us, us, are the opposite. One would gasp in awe at someone's beauty, Shiver in excitement about their courage and might, Imagine countless friends and lovers they have; How success is their husband and joy is their wife. Surely, for them, talent blossoms like a flowers, And everyone knows when and why they laugh, and joins; And if they ever cry(why would they at all?), More than one soothing arm awaits their call. While what is unseen lurks beneath beholder's delusions, Who wants to see what one envies most and searches for In oneself in vain. As how they see us is the opposite of us, true, but the opposite of themselves at the time as well.

Through a Beholder's Eyes
I lay here waiting in my skin for the tearing of the membrane that seperates this world from the next one and I let myself get carried along by a fresh stream of reasoning until I flare up in the dark like a new species of amoeba this balancing and spinning around on an atom and just not falling off it becomes boring at times and maybe because of that sporules once landed here to grant us the possibility of another possibility I lay here waiting and I manage not to drown just like only an almost newborn baby can and being born in 1983 means nothing here in the swelling infinity of the abnormal my skin has been waiting for new atmospheres for decades and the touch of unknown forms makes me shudder with raw impervious happiness because invisible energy effervesces alongside my arms and the eyes in my skull could be anyone’s right now suddenly the waiting is forgotten and I wallow myself in the gathered fairy tales of every soul that preceded me carelessly astonished and uncapable of understanding the seriousness of this absurd life inside me irrational poetry dances like a tribe jumping around a bonfire outside the universe dances her own eternity round and round

Met Kali today on a descending escalator at the Galleria. Her six arms juggled assorted shopping bags, purse, cell phone, three children, and a fourth in a stroller clearly not hers. I stepped down in front to help balance her baby buggy. No sooner had I reached out for the rubber bumper that I felt lash of her tongue against my cheek. It was hot and frothy, smelled like a tall, non-fat  latte with caramel drizzle, and quickly wrung itself around my neck. I was soon dangling from the precipice of an oversized potted fern where I had been perched by my assailant, high above the food court. I dangled dangerously as I saw chinks of chain giving way. The glass ceiling was begining to crack and about to cave in on me. I swung out and with all agility I could muster, landed in the Bagel Nosh's assorted schmears. Hisses and jeers decried. An angry mob of mothers chased me to the nearest exit. I almost didn't make it out alive.

Bawled At The Mall
Dead bee The moss grows round it Water spray Purify it Pest is relative Coming from where? The cat stretches Common sense Rock bottom Delve deeper, come on There’s no soul here Empty it out Start again Transcend yourself Transcend transcendence So yeah, there was a gardener Wielding a pressure blaster Which ripped the moss from its roots The sun peaked And the moss turned dust Because the aesthetics of the pavement Supersede existence Who the **** cares? Dead bee on the pavement Blast it into the bushes It depresses the school children A hedgehog rots in the gutter Flies lay eggs in its flesh And create a home Isn’t that beautiful? What the **** did the moss get? “China would have done this in a day” My father says Watching road workers rip apart asphalt “It’s quite nice, though” Looking into the concrete river As mayflies hatch deformed Due to the heat from the channel Half the students stare at their toes Wishing they were cuter Stronger Smarter Because narcissism has become the new desire Things are rotting everywhere But we pretend they’re normal **** man, rock bottom The children pick up the bees And stick them in their mouths Until the moss completely coats their hearts

No, that’s not how it goes. Start again. Do you remember the tree on the lake? It was a forest. No, it was black, like tar. It tasted like broken glass. I remember the incense on the drapes. Yes. It clung to our clothes. You cried. No, I smiled. You cried smiling. Yes. I hate it when this happens. What happens? You know? No. Um. Sometimes it feels like the world is too crowded with words. Like it's too dense to speak. That-- Like there’s something in the air that pushes against my throat. There was a black dog, just then. What? Outside. It’s gone now. Sorry. Start again. Do you remember the tree on the lake? There was a raven. Yes. It was black like tar. It caught a worm once. Ravens don’t eat worms. Yeah. It just sat there, with the worm in its beak. The worm squirmed, wrapping itself round the beak, over and over. Is that why you were crying? It wouldn’t stop. It kept going, digging its flesh deeper into the edges. What was your father doing? Smiling. Why? He’d filed for a divorce earlier. Right. I wasn’t there. No, you weren’t. Do you regret locking the doors? Sometimes I can taste the rain before it comes. It’s a skill I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I’m lost. So your father was smiling? No, he was crying. Sorry. I swear I just--nevermind. Start again. There was a storm in these parts when we were young. The worst storm in a hundred years. I don’t remember. You slept through it. I held your hand all night. Why? Because I was alone. You still are. Yes. I hate it when this happens. What happens? You know? Yes. Where have you been? Everywhere but here. And where will you go? Nowhere. Sometimes when I look at you, it’s like looking through static. It’s like I’m looking at an impression of a person. I get that a lot. It’s like all my memories of you have blurred together. Vague feelings rise out of the haze. Feelings I recognise, yet cannot describe. I cannot connect them with who you are, what we were, or where we’ve been. It’s-- Like exiting a dream. Yes. Exactly. You feel a gap in your soul. One that has always been. Always been. You held my hand, once. During the worst storm in a hundred years. When was that? Every night.

That smile from across the room The glance that lures your heart into a one-two you didn’t know existed Eyes the colour of the ocean but tell the story of the sea. Sentience, your love she consumes The fight for sovereignty is lost – she cannot be resisted. You can no longer be free.

How it happened...
You are the moon in my sky And the only hand to hold mine You turn my long braids into time lines past the world and before we both were here past everyone and everything near back before the sun could shine back before you were mine From London From Home From Places Unknown
