Here comes the days of craving tasteless food
To dip biscuits in tea by your bed
Today I'm the exact opposite of a *****
Groans and hmms and spitting red

Oh, but wait, my nose unblocked
I breathe with both nostrils now
The movie I just watched totally rocked
I feel like sleeping again, but how?

Toss and turn, take a pill
Blowing my nose some more
Cough drops? No, I've got nil
****, my throat will stay sore

Nothing ever changes,
where the worth of this and that is set.

Tell'em all, who hook ah, ha, chiral

reality, hearing, hmms and bzzz meeee
whining all kinds of things,

down, dirt hertz low, as one of those
contrabassoons,
French bubinga wood,
-Google it, it is as magic may be yet,
magical contraptions contrived
in a mind,
in stages,
whistle phone, I ignor thee,
Lady, of Spain, I adore thee,

If I had chosen a differing way, some time ago,
decided I was made
to be a river kid,
but come to find out, we breed best, where
our mothers were born,
- high green vales
- home feel romantic, as such antics were
portrayed, more, more, more
in the bread and entertainment
citizenship bought
for thirty man years
of absolute loyalty
to a bevvy
of oaths
by
any child shaped for leadership, bonded
entered into the system, asked
to swear
in the name
of all that is holy, set apart, behind the curtain,

not in Oz, Jerusalem
in that mind Christ used,
right, Romans-
let this mind be
in you… word level logic magic any may imagine
we pluralize our individuated minds,
and join in seeking clear channel communication
- tear ye the dusty curtain -
after all the outs are in for the evening,
cool of the day,
spirit and truth,
wow
we
make breathing work, come to think about that,
if your will is telling us some thing we may think,

3 major sneezings 3 by 3's, gobsogreasygoferguts,
we survive,
having coughed up a tiny, eyelash-size hair,
meta vessle,
where my bet is in the bits on this side,
war
has no
lever see,
free is bein' out of bounds. We may consider Kerouac,
his teletype paper rolls that he could imagine
becoming my entire system
liquid crystal frame nets fishing
for sentient mindshare where global peace, accepts
string theory as
my gnosisnot, is it spirit if it is true. If we are paradox-
ical, we are not stupid as a species,

we've bought a bill of goods, they used to say,
we found reason to believe,
we were lied to
for a set of reasons.
- first being we all lie, we think we know.
The onto logical truth, in my case, is - in 2023,
my life is good, I am a slob, and out of the way,
so, settled in some ways, is dust fine, we flake away.

My choice is to consider the reader, who reads
for fun,
kicks
in text
be unaffordable - attention is commodity
in any other context,
some things
are words, mere, as a word,
is one of them,
a class of flavour overlooked missed,
mere [hap]
anon,
we turn the radio on, and all we hear is humms.
Abnormality, in truth we find such things used beautifully, often,
passing in flashes one can respond to for - some time, a measure of it, may
be per haps
Susie Nuttall May 2013
Friendly phone calls,
Simple voice-mails of succinct words,
Hmms and umms of hesitation and deliberation.
Speak it just so,
And listen!
Enthusiasm pours through one speaker,
And resounds on the other end.

An inquiry made by an intellect with intriguing intent.
Contriving combinations of causes for contacting
this woman of his wishful thoughts.

Today,
Happenstance brought happiness,
With a serendipitous sighting and salutation.
Tremors tiptoed across his voice,
Telling of his thrill at the encounter.

He ponders if there is reciprocation,
As she hesitates at recognition
That this could be more then friendly.

"Opinions,
Criticism,
Words of Wisdom"
That's all I ever hear from you.

"Wells, hmms,
I thinks, well maybe you shoulds"
Constantly running through my ears.
That's all I ever hear from you.

"It's okay, this one isn't good.
Delete this one!  Well delete them all, actually."
Can't you keep your thoughts to yourself?
That's all I ever hear from you.

For once,
I'd like to hear a congratulations!
Is that too much to ask for?
That's all I ever want to hear from you.

Haven't you ever head the word "praise"?
It means telling me, for once,
I've done well.
That's all I ever want to hear from you.

Is any of this
Too much to ask for?
'Cause I'm tired,
Tired of all this criticism.

2. Another homemade trap is to

3. Mash up banana slices in a jar, and

A last ditch effort involves

nevertheless both creatures more acceptable

not a rigid concept to be honest

"i am" Matthew - m other said father said MATEO...

later much later when all the other nouns
started to sink in and become
vocabulary antics of:

the sky the moon the sun

          only when Matthew became Matthias bar Adam
did Matthew finally understand
a way to say: Matthews...

                                  only then and only thus...
then and only from then and there:

can you fathom a geo-political transition from the Iron Curtain to the Silicon Curtain give the Silicon Valley social media tech billionaires wanting to be part of the conversation, soft trans-humanism etc... i am drunk and writing a poem and this will be a sample in my creative endeavor

chatgpt
certainly, i can help explore that concept for your poem. here's a draft idea for your creative writing.

from the iron curtain to the Silicon
Veil,m a shift from cold steel to the soft
glow of screens, where once the shadows
loomed in brick and rail,
now algorithms whisper in digital
dreams.

Silicon Valley's titans rise, enshroud,
their networks weave a tapestry unseen,
in data's grip, the silent masses crowd,
new borders drawn in binary sheen.

trans-human whispers hum through
the wire, augmented selves in clouds,
begin to form, the billionaires,
like gods, our new desires, their coded
realms the eye of every storm.

yet, echoes of the iron curtain's past,
remind us of the cost of hidden walls,
in this brave new world, where shadows cast,
beware the veil where freedom slowly falls..

THE FRONTAL LOBE is for personality and emotions, higher thinking skills, like problem solving; and controlling movement. It continues to develop until you are in your mid 20s.
THE TEMPORAL LOBE helps process your hearing and other senses, and helps with language and reading.
THE PARIETAL LOBE is involved with your senses, attention, and language.
THE OCCIPITAL LOBE helps your eyes see, including recognition of shapes and colors.

so much of what's the subjectivity of the brain
is simply a QUARTER of
what the reality of the brain is

is something

like a shaman drug trip sort of exhausting others

Tongue twisted
 
   My doctor says my tongue is twisted, I believed in him, until I finally resisted
Conquering my fears of locution and phrases, lingering catches to my amazement
Giving my tongue a twirl of flight, ordering my food with no menu in sight
My tongue, remembers what to say, it does
Giving off gasps of hmms or ughs
Everything taste better when it's nice and warm, hot food sanitizes
My stomach walls(mucosa)
The way I sing, express my thoughts, makes an intensifying calabash of sauteed, seasoned vocables
I chew and bite, eating my words up gives me pure delight, savory juices that let loose in my jaw bone, creating a saliva fight
Who wins? I guess the words did, because I can't handle the spin(rotation) of the tingle in my lingo
