#upside
Man and men everywhere;
Silver-fox, gay, several-times re-married & divorced.
But not one without baggage to be seen —
Pimped up with ****
Waged weary by work or
Isolated through layered losses,
The modern man: a peculiar specimen.
It seduces the obvious why we turn to women to fill the void;
Upside-down desires? Or love that truly inspires?

White transparent tiled floor
Arranged in a lively mosaic
Speaks tales of a spooky world alongside me!
The windows and the curtains hugging the plastered walls
With views of flower trees and mountains near and far...
Gets reflected upon the tiled floor
Upside down, shadowy and unreal!
Maybe it is reminder for my heart
That the world I see is only an illusion my mind frames to colour a blank canvas
Maybe the world is true only upside down
The scenaries and sights distorted and fake the usual way...
Maybe it's important to bend your mind all the way
And try to see what can't easily catch the eye...
A sinister universe breaths about me
And only once in a while tugs at me to have a glimpse...
And whenever that happens, it's a moment of all eternity that seems to go worthwhile!

it's obvious,
isn't it?
it certainly
seems
like it
you see
it too,
right?
maybe
i'm imagining it?
it's probably
nothing
but
your head
is upside
down
facing inward
and
laughing at
itself
and there's
a light in
there
that's always
on
just
thought
you should know

I finally have permission…
To write bad poetry this month
no extraneous commitments dictated
To grow a beard all week
no vain pretense required
To ring my mum to-night
no after-work drinks mandated
To sleep in an hour
no daily commute demanded
To contemplate a minute
no ‘time wasting’ reprimanded
To breathe just one second
no productivity quota commanded

Turn the sea upside down
Love can do it.
Light the night with warmth
Love can do it.
Move the mountain with a stroke
Love can do it.
Fill the storm with soothing music
Only love can do it!

You’re a flipped mirror upside wrong, right side right where you don’t belong,
Can’t tell where the end begins,
The horizon is the only thing that lives,
Unless the bottom drops out into a free fall heaven,
Taking with it the hopes that the reflection could be more than a hand made inception.
Let me fall back into my own right side wrong.
I wanna be in the background that finds its basis in the foreground,
So maybe I’d believe that the beauty exists in me,
So maybe the creativity could set me free.

Are you sad or unhappy
Depressed; Feeling lonely
Each day dark and dreary or blue?
Do not worry my friend
I know just how you feel
I have all the right answers for you
So to counter the downward
You start thinking upward
Bad thoughts will stick to you like glue
It takes more than just effort
You must remain strong
Fortitude; So this trip you'll see through
Now I want you to think
of a time you were happy
When things in the world all seemed new
Full of love and carefree
Innocent; *Truly pure
Crisp and clean*; Much alike morning dew
When inside of your mind
you project types of thoughts
that are positive; Like "dreams come true"
*It rewires your brain
Generates* new connections
Gets rid of the old residue
But you must stay the course
Don't give up in distress
And in time it will start getting through
It is hard I confess
But would never attempt
or could make a false promise to you
So if happiness is
what you want from your life
Yet it always finds ways to elude
The change comes from inside
Must have faith; Must believe
Make a batch of fresh "positive brew"
As you drink this elixir
In time you will see
Billiard ***** have all left but the cue
A blank slate to create
What you want of the world
Every color no longer just blue
Disagree or debate
If you finish the race
Like a big gust of wind that just blew
All the darkness now gone
Feel like 'here I belong'
Peace of mind; Life that's filled with love too

Two second-hands living in the same Big Ben
counter and clockwise beat together in a similar rhythm on opposing schedules of the day
she breaks her fast at around 8am, syncing with his injestion of supper and she collapses at midnight just as he reboots for the night shift
though they spend most of the ticks and tocks in varying angles
It was agreed upon that they meet on the sixth –
Definitely on the sixth of the week
to reconcile and kindle… caressing those can’t-be-helped blank spaces where fragments should have been

Just because
I've put my clothes on
upside down
inside out
and backway round
doesn't mean my mind has gone
must be still in my prime
it's not all at the same time.

Upside Down …by Jessie 6/05
Birds flying backwards, Lions sleep with lambs
Peace invading every home, all across the land
Summer time is very cold, up is always down
Take a trip to nowhere, King’s without a crown
Comics, never funny, all the news is good
Always do the things you’re told, like you know you should
Sleep awake and never dream, breakfast late at night
Third world countries in control, landfills now in sight
Walk in circles, back and forth, farm animals in the house
Cat’s chase dogs and elephants, aren’t frightened by a mouse
**** a man, he never dies, forget the ones you love
Throw a star up to the sky, which fell from high above
It’s a crazy world we live in, rules finely cast
Believe in anything you want, nothing ever lasts

*I am the last hand on the earth
To compound and push down
To press the headache as it sounds
And fade it out
Away into the nothingness which awaits its new master
I am standing upside-down
Twisted inside until out
Living in the unlivable town
For I am the last hand on the earth
And as it stands I'm falling down*

I was raised under shield and gun
Looked in my fathers eyes and grew under thumb
Theres awes for mah stalls
Hug and hold you in our paws
for the cause
we pause for this applause
I make friends
I get blown
I make friends
I go home
I make friends
and get shown
the Dark side
of the moon
skip tracks
forget facts
neural lightning
get stacked
I end my cigarrete
and grab my beer
Wander in horror
Its my self that I fear
Salty frozen pearls glimmer
in the passing, fading carlight
I keep rooted in the shadow
and stay running from mah fright.
It knocks in my head
never alone
it follows my steps
crucial loss of character
in need of a seraph
some sort of
charsimatic actor
some sort of
emblematic factor

In side you!
Outside you!
Upside you!
Are downside you?
Where everyone trodden....!
by a few....!
Here and there! Everywhere you!
Who are you?
You for all!
All for you!
Is it fair? everywhere you!
Where Am I?
Who am I?
Here and there! Everywhere you!

for science,
today i watched a squirrel *** It was awesome.
on the heart of a stump,
i saw a tree smile
upside down .
the tops were green
sky a blue,
the air was wet
rain felt cool.
conditions were perfect
life bloomed all around
sowing in seeds
from earth.
percheron champion pulling
the weight of the world.
the song from the robin
and dismantled harp.
conditions were perfect
