when self-inflicted or as counter, the adrenaline is missing; mind you the hara-kiri: the sudden thrill,                     the sudden attack! it paces the heart differently from a belief in a self... the heart paces differently, it's an entire revisionist sub-plot of the book of genesis; it almost makes Dante pigeon-shit. that's the problem with suicide it's hardly adrenaline ensured surprising, the predestination of it being all top surprising as motivational to provide us a new Cain of the future... rightfully i'd rather be stunned into a shock of adrenaline by a murderer, than by injection of overpowering myself: the adrenaline missing in suicide is the real philosophical issue... the adrenaline missing due to premonition, the lack of shock... suicide in philosophical debate is pure chemistry: to commit suicide is to devolve chemically without the required boiling points or infusions of: suddenly.

~ we the people, long have known the write of passages and poems, whether bellwether, envisionist or revisionist, too oft have thought this journey long, and weight of hope and change to another there belongs; yet i subscribe that we as scribes, can right this ship, not merely write it's wrongs; for we it's pride with hearts ascribe, and note-by-note, as carpenters and soldiers, we its authors and its poets, in words, in deeds, writers, of a patriot’s song; with deepest definition, and inner soul reflection, it's stanza, chorus, bridges, we must lovingly inscribe. ~ *post script. i know i am but one of many, who disillusioned, feel alienated, and could just as easily choose withdrawal as my reaction to our nation’s political plight. this then my belief, my plea, my hope we’ll see, withdrawal is not an option, that our words, deeds and even our writings carry weight, and bring with them hope and change to each community within which we each serve.  we are not merely writers of our history... we are authors of our destiny!   if you are not an American, hope and pray for us, please, for we desperately need your support!!   if you are, pick up the pen... pick up the charge... be the change!!*

i never understood why people decided to couple such symbols into images esp. in fictional narratives rather than see the sound in lipstick smooched for symphony; how hard you try, the a to z will not provide you with a mental cinema image of a giraffe; more like a gaff, and what's a gaff in photo? leopard on giraffe or a giraffe on a leopard, because it's all very fine telling the narrative of traffic coordination evolution coming back from africa with the zebra to suit pitchfork stoppages in hay on the redneck lazed walk. the sole reason why it's understood: fiction is the use of lettering for the creation of images, poetry is the use of lettering a bit like a waterfall for a bored emperor apprehensive of the sound of thinking; and philosophy is the reverse of all that, strike two flints together, and enter the realm of ideas with the onomatopoeia of the image - given that onomatopoeias act like surgical scalpels, or a miscarriage of ideas bundled up for something else by kandinsky; actually, saying that, onomatopoeias are images in motion, prior to the movies, when all you had was a painting embraced by a fancy rim - still life of decay of the royal flotilla on the thames with a mouth moving: chatty chatty boor of a bloke who talked. i see the dead sea when i cry, and i wager a salmon with other sea fish cropping up flying into a butterfly net: before the assemblage of bacon into the mouth watering eye. i see the dead sea when i cry, and i wager to have seen a thousand flamingos strut invoking tide - on a boneless march into marsh of a bubbled gill of fish popped for whatever name alive, or dead in the disco crescendo for a nixon: tears of a robot had always the glory of man laughing akin; since annexed was the dualistic ambiguity of the theatrically mistaken two masked.

Caught red-handed, You reach for the first thing Your grubby metacarpus can find, Be it a sabre or quill. You ****** and parry away In your journal, All in the hopes you might Besmirch me, And strike it rich At the same time. But like Dido, Queen of Carthage, Your bags of gold Contain only sand. This is your hapless undoing, Mr. Hamilton, Despicably so. Don't use me as a crutch, Fall on your own sword! Talk about a fair amount Of revisionist's history, But we'll save that for Another day... Suffice to say: History is in the eyes of the beholder.

Fall On Your Own Sword
In the Alps of you and me, There can be no victory. The problem isn’t that you’re unfavorable, The problem is that I don’t care enough to be capable. Captivated by our loyalty and then berating our backstory, Another mystery, special delivery. No longer caged in your palace chorus, But in my memory palace you remain victorious. A revisionist history, A thousand times I am sorry.

Nicks and grooves, crisscross stitches, vanity repairs to counting down lifelines, one million billion cells,   wreckage of death stars, jails for membranes,   forgetful fabric memorizers, crumbled fractures, patches designed by an unknown haute couturier, failed revisionist of the original conception. All our hands. Upon closer examination, Jubilee finale, arrival day of the   mythical Halcyonian, the date, initialized,^ even DVR future recorded, visible, right there, upon on all our hands, all our history. Source coded in a language for which  a Rosetta stone, yet undiscovered, but visible, right there,   on all our hands, all our history.

Do not be offended? For part of this poem is true. Once upon a time in America there was segregation. Which made America look bad in the eyes of other nation. We uplifted one. While degrading another. Especially when it came to the segregated water fountain. Even the movie theater and eating counters. Do not be offended? Cause truth is written in the correct histories books. Not those that the revisionist want to over look. Once upon a time. One group learned in schools. While others in shacks or least made up of one room. Oh, please don't be offended. For part of the truth is constantly told. People over look that Rosa Parks was in the right assigned roll of seats. Theirs ran out once they was completed. Then they expected her to get up and stand. We know, who was the woman? And one was a less of a man. But that was the accepted Jim Crow' law of the land. Do not be offended? For if you are. Then you must question's your heart. Cause God witness it all. Ministers tossed in jail. Three killed trying to make things better. And this group lay blame on "so called, outsiders." Churches bombed. Children's killed. Still they attended church. Makes you wonder about the sermon's message. Do not be offended. For truth usually hurt. When you see the acts of the governors and police officers. Who wouldn't wanted to be Bull Connor? Ordering attacks of dogs and fire hydrants. I guess treat people like you want to be treated. Doesn't always work. Unless you are serious taking in the correct message at church. A lesson we ALL need to learn.

evolutionary revisionist screaming about alien DNA and the Annunaki teaching ape-men on the Sumerian plains – looking at the southern skies for the coming of Nibiru sending red horns across the horizon bringing back the overlord giants another round of **** and zero-point energy – fallen angles look like greys travelling from heaven in shiny silver disks abducting the impoverished for genetic manipulation and artificial insemination attempted creation of a hybrid nation my lament is not taken seriously and I slip further into the fringe – cattle mutilation no longer garners a press release five million people with similar memories are all discounted as crazy so the masses can sleep believing they are alone and special in the universe –

mortified (remember, up the arm, not across)
The carts rolled out of the warehouses And trawled each single street, Each drawn by a giant Clydesdale with Those massive hooves and feet, They creaked along, and they struck a gong That excited furtive looks, While the men that day, who rode the dray Called out, ‘Bring out your books.’ They watched the shimmer of curtains as The people peeked outside, For many were loth to show themselves, All they had left was pride, The law brought in by the ****** left Trapped all but the pastrycooks, For they could retain their recipes At the cry, ‘Bring out your books.’ They said they were saving forests from The pulp mill on the bay, There wouldn’t need to be paper with The pads we have today, And too many things were incorrect Had been printed on a tree, Were sitting on people’s shelves, defunct In ideology. The people set up resistance, they Had loved their tattered tomes, And many a shelf was burdened in The meanest of their homes, ‘The government’s trying to dumb us down,’ Was the universal cry, ‘Go out and save the forests, but If they’re already printed, why?’ The spread of ideas is dangerous They could rot you to the core, And too many things on liberty Have been printed, long before, Perhaps it would have been better if The people couldn’t read, Taking away the books at last Might take away the need. The drays that rumbled along each street They had stacked the books up high, But there was the odd revisionist Who complained, and grumbled, ‘Why?’ A squad broke into each suspect house Where the owner locked the door, And tore the books from his fevered grasp While screaming, ‘It’s the law!’ But mine, I hid in the garden shed And buried the others deep, They wouldn’t be getting their hands on them The ones that I wished to keep, There’s so many fake and useless things That they’re legislating for, But to take our books and our liberty Would be like declaring war.

I have previously, and this is forbidden knowledge I am about to indulge you in, (feel grateful perhaps) I have previously been accepted here before. In my blueish age of 13, deemed enough of a literary writing reams, cartoonish spools, overspileth sounds about right, and history was recorded! Little did your establishment know that years into the future, in a plasmatic stopwatch, I'd be frantically, absolutely sweating bullets! attempting to erase the pubescent penning about Lord knows, depression and gym class. and after, said to no one in particular in a completely revisionist fashion "bless this mess" so how about it old friend, another round?

Under Subjugation of the HelloPoetry Lords
Life: The Pages Between Birth and Death The book too thick to actually choose to read. Cross-referenced with words too lengthy to even sound out. Adjectives and adverbs, metaphors and similes Neatly describing each seminal moment That no longer makes sense. A book dust covered and yellowed. Pages dog-eared citing someone's past interest In whatever was actually printed however many years ago. Saying "Not the read I want," As I place it back on the shelf. Avoiding the unavoidable, I pass on it. At least for today.

Life, A Revisionist History
poem Forgotten heart attacks sleeping by the back door Mercury in retrograde channeling spiritual warfare crooked teeth pealing wax work set in sixes off of tables and chairs ***** hands casting crystal corners in my head yesterdays tea poured over the infinite misunderstanding divinity thickening the air that's already wrapped tightly around the time that steals so much space in my bed heavy eyelids slipping into controlled chaos sighing out larkspur symphonies dead men don't sell secrets they hand them out for free. comment i know you're pursuing a dead-end take on punctuation, and that's much worth the acknowledgement, but i can be a puritan sometimes, i too transcend the distributing norms while equipping them... but i only think of catching a breath... i can spot the obvious avoidance usage of punctuation when i can; but to me the fact that it's hidden is like a sobering artefact of modern critique of art, i.e. that your avoidance of punctuation would spell out a need to keep the poem fragrant's worth of a crossword puzzle...and that much is needed when reading poetry...poetry has to be a lessened musicology, and has to become an encrusted form of puzzle... otherwise it will not survive. thank you for considering this revisionist approach.

poem / comment
How easy to distill the past sifting out impurities so a clean silky edge will soothe another’s tongue. Serve up what flatters spit out distasteful lapses swallow raw memories let them sink deep into the silted heart of gray. The lies we tell each other, tell ourselves. We are all revisionists editing our histories, omissions catered to the prevailing whims of taste and culture until intimacy unmasks us.

Revisionist History
and who would have thought that there would be such certainty governing ι (iota), as to effectively stress it                all the ****** time? guise it in whatever pronouns you want, either modern or ancient and if ancient then bound to psychiatric theory - but who would have thought that so much pinpointing was to be allowed over ι? and yet there are hordes of people without a clue as to who they are and what identity to rattle the world with... pinpoint above the iota... if it was absolutely precise, and if it was truly identifiable with a great accuracy, i'd find people in shackles of certainty, hardly deviating from that's already apparent to them... but it's not the case... so presumptuous to ascribe iota (ι) that sort of certainty  when ascribing it a holy pronoun status... there's hardly a pinpoint about the iota, hardly any certainty, always the spontaneous venture, and that's still bound to what  aesthetician you speak to...                            ᾠ (oi)! wriggly serpent of arabic in greek, wriggled in, subscripted, prefix: al-, then the l'ah the l'ah, la la la... la la... mmmbop! handsome,    innit? kamoze... na na na na na na na na na na nah...   'ere *** d' 'otstepper... chilli chilli in sprechen dingo...                  roughing up the woof downunder. and wrote a surah about the byzantine defeat... true up to the point of mongol  and the mamluke... for if not the serpent to teach man handwriting, what animal? is not the serpent the jurassic spine and our pause for thought? or what does predate the discovery of dinosaur bones if not bonsai    morphed into welsh and chinese dragons? exaggerations of sleeper's intuition collectively? to bow, or say: prior: all things worthy of a palette - then the revisionist meteor, then all things condemnable and bound to excess - gluttonous eyes  staring poignant as if gnats stuck to venomous arrows with a thirst for st. sebastian...     for what audacity asserted that it was always to be so: a pinpoint above ι? there was no universal agreement - as is to say: a god of the omni realm will never consider a peace treaty  unless the people abide by the mantra om and subsequently flourish... and what animal taught us this wriggling? should we rewrite our stance basing all metamorphosis from shouting to a hush and then compound with statement: genteel reader away from the serpent and haloing the worm, that too wriggles? it all depends which aesthetician you speak to... if you speak to me, i'll tell you this version of human history's worth of soap opera.

Darwinism has much more to do with phonetic encoding than with theorising an absence of theology (with signs an absece of the practice of 2 + 2 = 4), or trying to depose god or Tsar of Henry VIII prior to the bishop the cardinal... the priest, a dog... forget genesis or creativity, remember dentistry... in vacuum who's the happiest? a dog... and by god's grace we're the remnant of his existence, dodging dogs in mirror not so chiral... merely saliva... and by demand i know how to berserker a revisionist stand-off for a lampoon to say but one ensured non-differential letter! hence him less operatic than her, with her ******** vowel ooh ooh ah and his netting stability in Cumbria and Shropshire and suburbia in general, i.e. hula hoop... a sexuality of symbols, to think any man might treat vowels as feminine and consonants as male... hmm!
