My head hurts
and my mind a seething mass
of garbled words, premature thoughts
stillborn
a zombie lumbering aimlessly
through this reality...?
or is this even real?

What is real?

Who am I?

Am I just a specter?
have I stared too much at that yawning void?
Have I read too much Nietszche?
So much...

That the morning coffee
gets cold..

as I stare at it.

As I try to make sense of
this crazy world
that only exists in my head.

drinking *** allows you to
spots things.... the like of insects crawling
on glasss... the oddity being:
inside a room... i call it a misguide
between glass and air...
    and then there's evanescne's
my immortal...
           and why i can forge
a need for a tear...
              that sense of
a gratifying gulp of snot...
    the pass on asking being
demanding....
  like wolverine asking jane / phoenix
out on a date... but being rejected....
because she's seeing
cyclopse;
**** me, a woman's take on scent...
and then cleaning up cat's ****...
     well done....
   to satiate the brute...
           you have to be the brute...
and what of a need for
a callous call to make amends?
          well, merely answered by a:
                                    hush;
and that's outside the domain
            of saying growl...
     when an actual growl was neccesary;
and was, a verb, rather than a noun...
          oh the freeing feeling
                of the much adored sadness!
god, with it, i am, nowhere closer than
to you, in that i am... "claustrophobic",
yes, res locus;
yes, res locus... it's something that gives
a historicity of the cartesian argument...
a temporal and a spatial guise-cocnern
    for temperaments that avoids
         fabrics, and that said, generally:
fashion; esp. to give vogue to cognition!
it really can be "unfashionable"
to think someone's argument...
        e.g. kant? unfashionable.
  nietszche? very much fashionable...
it's called hegel's lecture notes + marx's critique...
   cogntive vogue...
i like that term...
it sounds so much more astute to be said,
than say, cultural marxism...
      so much easier to state:
  well... given the year 2017, the cognitive vogue
is... a, b, c...
     than ascribe some definitves /
                             post-scripts of an ideology,
like darwinism, that's become as rigid
                            as the geometry of a triangle;
and **** me! the theaory won't budge!
it won't budge into a yawn! degraded as library
material!
   it had to compete with marxism
                      as having, a culutral status!

Small,
Still small.
The storm knows
As Nietszche knew,
the botched and bungled
fall. When the one great love
stalled with damp points and punch tires
stuck on the shoulder blinking out
flashers to no one in sight , the rise
behind - just wet exits and no beams bright.

Cross Currents magazine:  If you could meet anyone from history and have dinner with them, who would you choose? Would you want to meet ...

Fr. David Tracy of the University of Chicago Divinity School:  No, I don't say Jesus.  It's too much.

Plato without hesitation.
St. Augustine without hesitation.  He's fascinating.  His problems with the ****** drive just make him more complex and interesting.

And from the modern period, either Nietzsche or Kierkegaard.

Cross Currents:  What would you talk about?

Fr. Tracy: Everything. As would they. But I think the essence of our discussion would be about the relationship between truth and beauty.

Cross Currents:  What do you think they would think of each other?

Fr. Tracy: Plato would be very angry with Nietzsche, but, something tells me, Nietszche would respect him.
This conversation is from memory and not word for word.  I read the dialogue long ago and have always remembered it. So this is a kind of dialogical poem or fragment based on the interview in the magazine. I highly recommend the writings of Fr. Tracy.
Hugging all the ancient lores I heckle my conscience
Tiresias says,"My man,dull your innocent defiance."
I asked,"Is your Wifi struck down again by cheap gin?"
"Na bro,I just forgot to put the postmodern plug in"
Brochild,you seem to romanticise Eliot and Arnold again?"
"What else is the paracetamol for this spiritual pain?"
"What pain?Aren't you medicated by poetry reels?"
"Didnt the Doctor say I must go for the feels?"

"Am I the only one who sees the changing permanganate sky?"
"Dunno?Maybe Keats would if he sees the Nightingale fly?
My Brochild,You must read less books.All The Muses are dead.
Let me DM the Doctor- You awoke early again from the bed."

"When did they die? Why am I immune to the modern synthetic sedative?"
"Shhhh...Take a puff from this oxygen can - a pulmonary macerative."
"That's cannabis. Are you for real? I already prayed to Nietszche to get killed by cancer soon!!"
"Brochild! Listen! We are all dead - Writing Midnight poems.Smoking in sulltry afternoons."
This poem is a homage to T S Eliot
