Protesting, I, rise, e-raising my hand,
in ranked row,
three from the front, in the middle,
a glance,
and nothing more, and another,
Aseneth was her name, and she hated it.
She said.

Many were the flirty glances, unrestrained
wonder
what is different,
is this ink, or scar tissue?

Eight billion essentially identical minds, in use,
being tuned to consume elemental mental
as we form from base material, mother stuff.

We think in single words, letters let us do this,
that which formerly prevented, lets us do this now,

do you read me is not valid protocol on a voxnet.
You know. Five by five, is not valid either, listen.

Does your memed mind hear me now, Brown Cow,
Dao a do nothing dues paid note, this is business,
this is what the messenger in charge,
special agent,
secret agencies allowed, in my mind, baby, listening

constantly, no time,
silent,
only imagining Major Tom.

Waking spacy Sunday Morning, unre-tied to the strand
of faith that wound the core hard ball of pure rubber,
vulcanized, for bounce,

CRACK of the bat, where once, no, each once ever,
the feeling
one side, then the other, being mentally cognoscente,
cognoscenti, either way,
we both know, we both take knowing duty as demanded
of the code
we obey. At the command. We pay proper attention,
not too much of any thing,
take your own measure,
remember, certainty is bad mad solid state, bricked.
In a sermon writing state of mind after reading poets alive when I was young.

the doubting,
strangely enough won't **** you.
but what will,
and very could, is nameless.

or, it does have a name.
sometimes we simply deny it,

quietly arranging our lives around it,
while it dwells
deep, beneath, dormant,

yet somehow still over our own heads,
cloud-like, but heavier still.

where is this place?
inside of the earth,
inside of me.
my security, that is
supposed to be a cognoscente

well versed on intruders,
or even worse,
those who wish
to see nothing there at all before their eyes.

Does a monster come in
Any other name?
Do we call a monster anything but--
Pride
Gluttony
Sloth
Lust
Envy
Greed
Wrath
--A monster?
Do we rework the order of sins for each monster we come across as such?
Envy
Envy
Envy
Pride
Wrath.
Lust lust
Greed greed
Wrath wrath wrath.
Forgive me,
Father.
For I have sinned.
I slipped into the lack of cognoscente thought that allows these sins to be allowed;
To take them,
As the slaughtered goat
For
A demon
Would take the razor's edge.

Forgive me,
Father.

Might we have some Sympathy for dial-up Synchronicity
some friendly cognoscente to avail
our needs develop faster in Perception of disaster
but could a witch or Wizard save my tale

Would someone please like Alice condescend to fill my chalice
that the gates unto high fantasy unfold
and can my nymph portend that which a Disney might transcend
to reach a new dimension never told

Your face seen in the misty light and laugh that floats on summer night
the dream of which I cannot quite recall
ever moving under skies yet never seen by waking eyes  (1)
invest in me some pieces of The All

Posted on my blog, I use some hypertext links for some of the words to connect to either definitions or something perhaps applicable.

Vortices of liquid fire
Fill my soul with raw desire,
****** my need for time with you,
Abruptly, to cognoscente view.
Abruptly, as to pause the day
To take my shortened breath away.
How your vision, in my eye,
Consumes me... as this vaulting sky
Erupts in towered halls of flame...
To paint your lovely smile, again.
