I sit upon an impossible throne, The world's most comfortable chair. It's all I'll ever wish to own Though I forget it's even there. My chair is ergonomical, Conforming right to me. Whatever I find desirable It suits every want and need. I feed it everything I have But it never is enough, Everyday my fingers bleed Stuffing it with fluff. I only see in front of me, My chair it does not turn. And as far as I can see My chair is the whole world. My chair is all I'll ever know I seldom choose to leave it. It scarcely ever lets me go It's all I can believe in. I don't know what I'd do without it, Perhaps get up and get a life. But instead I'll sit and stagnate, Dying in my own delight.

The World's Most Comfortable Chair
Thomas creek keeps moving This water gives way to childhood play. I think this place remembers me. Old gravel road, potholes lined in Oregon ferns The same ones that tickled my knees when I was as young as three I think they remember me Lazy light filters down to green Earth, mud and skipping rocks Serve as old novelties and Time ticking clocks. The only place left That remembers me. vast enough to hold my past. The only green enough that last Fountain of youth that makes me sprite Jump into a past with such delight Thanks for holding on. Stagnate nostalgia Remembering skinned knees Deep breaths, cold water that calmed dread youth to living all grown up some things remain the same... Do you remember my name? Do you remember me?

Journal Entry #13 I know its been sometime since I've written, but in my defense I've been a busy girl. I turn thirty-two in a couple days, and I'll be honest.. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This year has been nothing but changes for me. Walked away from a toxic marriage. Moved away from everyone and everything I know. Walked away from childhood friendships, Because they refused to grow... Depression took over and consumed my life... Crippling me. I was alone. With nothing... But pain to keep me company. But... See... That's one thing about me... I've always been about bettering mine. I may forget how strong I am temporarily. But I'm not the type to roll over and die just like that. All those so called people in my life that said they loved me. Always wanting me to do good, but never better than them. An ex husband who blinded me with lies and his own misery. It's sad once you realize these were the kinds of people I let take up so much of my time... But none of you really knew me at all... Never thought I'd stand up on my own two feet again.. Get my **** together again. You thought you knew me. But that's one thing about me. As soon as you doubt me, I'll show you how hard I grind. Proved all of you wrong, all at the same time. I can't give no more time to that petty **** The petty life you chose to live. You're steady complaining about your life, but doing nothing to change it. Drowning in your own misery. Assuming I'd always be along for the ride. why'd I tolerate that **** for so long? But see, I'm not that same girl you use to know. And that's one thing you just never saw. You're not moving, You're stagnate in your own misery. You're not growing with me. Its just time I let you go. I have no more sympathy to give to you. Oh, you think I'm heartless. Well get this... This is how I see this... If I can stand up from my own personal hell of... Loss... Heartache... Loneliness... Misery... Divorce... Depression.. Lift my own self up.. Walk out into better days.. All because I made the choice to change things. Why cant you? I'll be honest... I hate that I had to let you go... I get it you're upset with me.. That's okay I'll let you be. Yeah, I hear some of you are hatin' me. I had mad love & respect for you.. But that's the thing about me.. And yea, I know you say... I'm selfish... But... I cant grow with people in my life who refuse to grow with me.

Day by day I lay it down, “All right men, here’s the plan; you go on in, and get 7 of them (because 7’s a holy number) and we wouldn’t want to offend any defender of the other inclination. Our nation would suffer at their loss, and that would cost too much in terms of net profit, would disturb a delicate balance, we wouldn’t transgress or progress, rather stagnate, in a backwards state of mind." You told me you liked my poetry. But would you really if you could see what I see the ladies hooked on Turkish series and not enough men to count fingers on? Our men left long ago, got hooked on the same show we were watching, and it was alarming how it was cut with some breaking news, something about how Syria was going to lose another plane, and we felt some pain and flipped the station, where we were met with temptation masked as the latest ads only to add to the list of the things we’ll never have. So much for bad TV. Could we please see something real? And I fear the Kardashian’s aren’t quite enough, you see, I’ve caught onto the bluff that **** must be staged. But that’s ok I’ll let it pass, perhaps some movie to catch my attention. Attention becoming another word for distraction, and we carry that emblem all around, hoping for anything to evolve this frown into laughter whether humorous, devilish, or maniacal in tone. If not TV, reach for your phone. Anything to get to another zone, another place, just space out because anywhere is better than here. Where is the end, be near? - I want to meet it smiling.

And this place our forefathers made for man! This is the process of our love and wisdom, To each poor brother who offends against us— Most innocent, perhaps—and what if guilty? Is this the only cure? Merciful God! Each pore and natural outlet shrivelled up By Ignorance and parching Poverty, His energies roll back upon his heart, And stagnate and corrupt; till changed to poison, They break out on him, like a loathsome plague-spot; Then we call in our pampered mountebanks— And this is their best cure! uncomforted And friendless solitude, groaning and tears, And savage faces, at the clanking hour, Seen through the steam and vapours of his dungeon, By the lamp’s dismal twilgiht! So he lies Circled with evil, till his very soul Unmoulds its essence, hopelessly deformed By sights of ever more deformity! With other ministrations thou, O Nature! Healest thy wandering and distempered child: Thou pourest on him thy soft influences, Thy sunny hues, fair forms, and breathing sweets, Thy melodies of woods, and winds, and waters, Till he relent, and can no more endure To be a jarring and a dissonant thing Amid this general dance and minstrelsy; But, bursting into tears, wins back his way, His angry spirit healed and harmonized By the benignant touch of Love and Beauty.

The Dungeon
These Great Reviver’s wild reforms Now sound like all Hot Air, Narendra Modi’s new India Still bogged down in despair. Shinzo Abe’s revised Japan Still wallows to stagnate And China’s Xi Jinping’s grand scheme Continues to deflate. Collectively they stumble In their plans to stimulate Asia’s great economies….. But have failed to shut the gate On the Shadow Banking industry, Their vague structural reform And the fossilized grey politics Which resemble, now, the norm. Rhetoric is their keynote here Real action’s in decline With their mandate clearly squandered There’s A BIG CRASH DOWN THE LINE! M. Auckland 23 August 2014

All Hot Air in Asia
The soft edges of femininity, Round, ******* complements, Heels, ***** of the feet, sockets, Soft eyes, soft hearts, soft hands Tinkering, thanking, crossing, legs. Girlhood is enclosed in a silver box With mute pastels and a heavy soundtrack of strings, Strings which bifurcate, dissect, divulge, Horrors, bells, instruments and lush melodies. Girlhood smells of iron, hot animals, heaving, Converging, pin ****** the sharp alacrity of Knowing. Eyes are wet, armpits go black , round edges Protrude into a potbelly, grow and stagnate, expand and collapse.

The soft edges of femininity
We can never completely wipe the slate. There will always be things that are left to fester and stagnate. All we can do is turn to the next page while waiting for our memories to degrade as we inevitably progress further into old age.

The Consequences Of Continuing To Exist (Persistent)
your pale smooth skin slides under me as we are more sweat than bone i suckle your pink taut areolas you clutch my hair and my fingers spread everywhere you close your eyes bite down your lips shudder slightly gasp a low heavy breath and it’s like some shade in an inferno opened a cobwebbed window from the blackest molten bowels to release the compressed stagnate humid air from your deepest self.

Night.
The cosmic river of placidity our spiritual Graveyard, laden illuminating the resevoirs Of the sun serpents mineral kingdoms created As the desecrated flowers of the Universe decay, The barren Earths machinery immortally Combative rebirthing deaths plague. Akashas victorious joy reflecting the Sillohettes of times ardititious travellings Fleeting, the strength of withered spirits Collective daydreams upon solacses fallen Fields of despair, redeeming justices Patience provocating abeyance. The irredescent golden amber of an iron Roses kindling flame; katabolisms landscape Transcending sunsets incarnate pharisaical Clouds defying agonising temptations rising On the wind of sanctimonious whispers Working the stagnate temper of Choas' repining heart. ELEETE J MUIR.

Your eyes are sockets of disapproval My eyes are sunk in their reticence Would I be the flustering morning sun? No I'm not, I only break the dawn When, creeping from my slothing insolence I enter the world afresh to some harried call A new day stretching my body from contortion To a slumbered, slouched hunch With bags afrenzy under these eyes that stare back Are portals to my soul, which is also empty Reflections of woeful, haggard dejection Which, in my mind's eye, which is yours, Give me call to curl back to my hibernation To recede like my own vacant eyes do, To my seat of morose repose Senseless, as I stare thickly into space Beholding my dreams strewn before me As I curl away from them, and they seem ever reachable Moments ago, I used to speak to myself A mutterance for the day's outlook Something to find a more suitable reflection Waiting for me at the day's end A worldly philosophy, or mind set proposal But a strange shame spoke back at me, As I perceived my speaking of these words That with each day's turn only mildly echoed As I turned from monotony with each night To mediocrity of passionless habit With a pinch of thought each glance conjures I look upon myself in years, My futile vision, my rampant egoism With which the twinkling eye discerns me At my now stage, and with Reassuring confidence tells me not to change As with time's growth will I become you But blink and I return to forever For without vigor and drive will this image Imprint and stagnate its glare upon this glass My eternal face, my motiveless eyes Which so piteously transfix themselves on wonder But turn up only rubble and soil Now, I turn in disgust, relinquishing my desires And, turning to the hour, feel slowly The weight of each second's thunder Crash upon my shoulders as it is snatched from me And now I must not lounge through this new morn I must not lessen with the tide What I have stored up in greatness But instead find the key to my ghostly heart Bring myself back, Forward into each new life

Forget what they tell you About being a masterpiece You are not art You are not stagnate beauty, Nor were you created for the pleasure of others You were not meant to be marveled at by the simple minded Or ridiculed for your every flaw You are not art You are wind Sending chills through the bones of those in your presence You are fire Spitting embers with a coal-coated tongue You are water A bubbling stream of euphoric laughter No, you are not art You are so much more

jack casual was a hard workin' man, put bread on the table, kept the roof over our heads, and kept that dog, nellie, from gettin' 'er sorry be-hind run over. yep, ol' jack was worth his salt. he used to play his acoustic for us when we were tikes, back when we had an air conditioner. when it broke down, ol' gran-pappy, jack's dad, had him run out to the store to buy a window unit and a slurpie. then pappy would stagnate all day in the back room while we sweltered, and he'd send me on errands on my bike, and read week-old newspapers, and yell at jack to "pay the god **** bills" at four in the morning. jack wanted to send him to a "home", but mama never did like them. she said they were "unsafe", "unsanitareh", and "unhospitible". so gran-pappy stayed. yes sir-ee, gran-pappy stayed for three long years with his banjo and the growin' pile of slurpie cups in the corner of that back room where it was cool. until that one night when gran-pappy called mama a name the dog had done learned to respond to, and mama said, "jack, just put him in the home! a lady shouldn't be treated upon in this mannuh." that was the last i ever did see of ol' gran-pappy, but i still remember the last words he said to us: "...and bring me back a slurpie, it's one hot son of a ***** up in here and i need somethin' to cool me off a spell!"

What dream are you dreaming? What are you missing, seams tearing Bearing the weight, hungry children haven’t ate Picket fence, just a gate Locking you in, a stagnate state American dream, American dream Seams tearing, weight bearing Tick tock alarm clock blaring Swearing up and down That you will be more more than what you are around But equality is only ideology Reality is brutality Suburbia only exists On top of working class fists, stress Test, testing schools underfunded Mothers gone, and fathers drunk loving Lies, corruption Deceived by our own government Monsanto’s sits on the top of the hill Selling people food, that only kills Pharmaceutical companies with overpriced pills Poverty at a rate That is sending chills What dream are we dreaming?

#The quill's sodden ink evaporates while this bell jar encapsulates leaving these dreary words to permeate only to rain back down and stagnate this terrarium, my lonely estate pickling eyes that spate people peer through the glass only to deprecate while I slowly start to acclimate two horizons squint until light dissipates allowing the darkness to overtake monsters crawl out to dilapidate snarls and growls devastate this is fate this is fate this is fate this is fate is it too late is it too late is it too late is it too late echos verberate echos verberate echos verberate echos verberate this is fate and it is too late these echos verberate and I ruminate I ruminate and ruminate and ruminate and ruminate with a languid gait a countenance set straight while I desperately try to create a happy blissful sunny green free state it's not too late it's not too late it's not too late meditate meditate meditate meditate don't let the glass alienate pick up the hammer and swing                                                        till the glass ***B    E      K                                                                                 R    A      S.***#

Intricate matrixes of words Strung delicately one after another, Flowing from unseen fountain, Flowing beneath a cryptic mountain Melding Into one another, so far as I can see it Nothing absolute can be created from the puddle That’s collected all my muddled thoughts, Stagnate, is indignant to the fact that life survives in motion, Lost to the notion that change is not bearable But instead it is, it is inevitable. Tell that to the cryptic mountain resisting the change Holding on so desperately to every spec of dirt, Until in turn gravity tears it from its grip. Yes the mountain is grounded But is it equipped? Water is quick. But it just moves dirt and mountains that spent An eternity building up , and what kind of Grounding is earth hurdling back toward earth? Astounding yes, resounding in your heart and head Your aspirations bounding? Remaining unchanged, Except a small tilt in your perception so insignificant You don’t know that gravity just stole a spec of your dirt. You have on a micro level come unearth But regardless of your element you will be Subjected to the erosion until you are a flat plain, Or a calm stream or eventually a stagnate puddle. But you would never know That you are the highest humbled, The grandest grounded, and if you can puddle Without being stagnate you are the ocean Until you were there you wouldn’t know it would you? Well unless you read I said it, then maybe then, But again I doubt it.

You are the grandest grounded.
dreamt in strange shifting blocks, interwoven and with startled faces, sentencings spoken wordless. woke up to the blurry thought: sometimes in talk, i am confronted with ideas that in no way reconcile with my own structures. in response, i often choose to not say anything, or let it uncomfortably sit in my gut. in cases where the opposing point won't be heard, i suppose this is alright. but, when my own rooted beliefs are challenged in a valid manner, it is more akin to the silence of shame than of dignification. is this symbolic of the internalisation of a more sound philosophy, or inability to process it against the grain of my own? avoiding argumentation where it is of little purpose is one of my prime conversational aspects, and in an overarching paradigm avoiding unnecessary speech in general. but what internally portrays as tact can come off as indignant coolness, or bitter indifference. so, do i continue to speak in only the meaningful outer lashes, or let down the floodgates to some degree? human interaction doesn't need necessitate grave importance at all junctions, and sometimes the most comforting talk can be of nothings (which i still find myself often party to, despite my self-portrait of filtered short-spokenness). how do i open myself more to accepting or understanding when points are more sensible than my own, and integrating them into my consciousness? for, surely, if i disavow myself from giving up dated sentiments, i shall truly stagnate.

Your subjectless Objects of capital, the agency bereft GDP drones, O! America, They are spilled on the pavement, an upturned ice cream cone of discontent puddled and lackadaisical, they fester beside the hydrant. Your news agencies and malls, the damp dishrags of industry, snagged on the nail of defenselessness and exploitation, only infect the wound. Each mess of a person, walks through the sugary malaise of your suffering dragging it on to the next in communal forbearing; its contagion, its disease is so many cysts on the mind of those syrupy vacuoles for capital; the private, malignant caverns of dewy-eyed trust in humanity, insipidly drawing the rancor to a boil, without understanding a thing. You pride yourself on much, without eyes for the condition of your people, O! America. People, shackled in your jails, are so many ideas bubbling as to the cruelty of your nature punctured by the ignorance outside. Draped in your obnoxious flag, the cites are as malicious as the countryside, toward life, toward knowledge. You prop-up the price of their crops, the know-not-whys, who plunder the earth to prolong population growth and consciousness-decline. America, you eradicate discontent with cattle cars, filled with questioning life forms, gasing our minds and burning our bodies with your arrogance. Like a popcorn bag steaming in the microwave; you have been left alone too long, and have developed a flame-- an inextinguishable flame of reason. You have been disavowed too LITTLE. You must not be allowed to expand any further, lest the impoverished bag of flesh which is mankind will burst. But still you stagnate, until your violence curdles with drones and bombs patrolling our synapses. Our brains digest your violence against us and **** it out with an abused dialect of greed and hate. Then you ask us only that we eat from your refuse heap of burnt kernels from the “truth” of market economy. You taste like cancer. You rot the mouth of competent men, and satiate the anxieties of those who would turn against you-- with a refreshing ice cream cone of absentmindedness dropped on the ground and melting. But the stains you made will always taint the sidewalk of man.

The Coming Summer
Your subjectless Objects of capital, the agency bereft GDP drones, O! America, They are spilled on the pavement, an upturned ice cream cone of discontent puddled and lackadaisical, they fester beside the hydrant. Your news agencies and malls, the damp dishrags of industry, snagged on the nail of defenselessness and exploitation, only infect the wound. Each mess of a person, walks through the sugary malaise of your suffering dragging it on to the next in communal forbearing; its contagion, its disease is so many cysts on the mind of those syrupy vacuoles for capital; the private, malignant caverns of dewy-eyed trust in humanity, insipidly drawing the rancor to a boil, without understanding a thing. You pride yourself on much, without eyes for the condition of your people, O! America. People, shackled in your jails, are so many ideas bubbling as to the cruelty of your nature punctured by the ignorance outside. Draped in your obnoxious flag, the cites are as malicious as the countryside, toward life, toward knowledge. You prop-up the price of their crops, the know-not-whys, who plunder the earth to prolong population growth and consciousness-decline. America, you eradicate discontent with cattle cars, filled with questioning life forms, gasing our minds and burning our bodies with your arrogance. Like a popcorn bag steaming in the microwave; you have been left alone too long, and have developed a flame-- an inextinguishable flame of reason. You have been disavowed too LITTLE. You must not be allowed to expand any further, lest the impoverished bag of flesh which is mankind will burst. But still you stagnate, until your violence curdles with drones and bombs patrolling our synapses. Our brains digest your violence against us and **** it out with an abused dialect of greed and hate. Then you ask us only that we eat from your refuse heap of burnt kernels from the “truth” of market economy. You taste like cancer. You rot the mouth of competent men, and satiate the anxieties of those who would turn against you-- with a refreshing ice cream cone of absentmindedness dropped on the ground and melting. But the stains you made will always taint the sidewalk of man.

In the night of birds silence, and in the winds that forget to show. I enter into my chamber, awaiting for blood snow. I breathe with not of life, but stagnate broken love. And plead for the path to end, to take me straight above. You see I am a bullet; a bullet within a gun. And I'm silently waiting for the world to have some fun. Fully loaded I am; and sadly I've become unstable. For when the trigger is released, my shan't be enabled. Under stress of lost life, but the weight is soon to leave. I ask you once, to run away... Please. Don't be caught within the firing line; don't be trapped within my fury. Leave, stay safe; be the one to stand next to the jury. I'm a bullet within a gun; awaiting for my release. Waiting for the trigger to be pulled, and for the pin to **** peace. I can not be saved my love, so run run before it's too late. I can not be saved my love, so please don't let me become your fate...

I'm the bullet
Light upon the statue of retreat, "Get away from me!" stupid mother, for I, myself, lie within a lie and cards dealt do fly, I hesitate to say I wish I could cry, but the disgrace would hit me in the face Crush the ****** ants crush them all roll them over call it up ring it back **** it in blow it out, left dead no longer wandering about Leave me this way with my false laughter, stagnating mind, it is true, I try to be kind, But all for not I cannot blot, Make me blind hurt me justify my doubled contempt, it makes no sense that at one time I rhymed and dreamed A destructive force is strong, A reconstructive force is too late, a world of isolation wouldn't that be great!? Unable to retreat for only fools avoid thought and the universal mind, without a translator, is a love me not In what I say none shall see, I sting, I stung, just like an assimilated ant-bee. Listen! What do you see? See! What do you hear? Uncensored, What do you feel? Tasteless human hell Heavenly human smell, oh... do tell. All combined by the link brake the ****** chain, disconnect local bus, electrical circuit drain: If a tree falls in the forest... cliche. If information is lost on the super-highway... cliche. I refuse to lose, now amused, at the fun-filled mind so depressed, lifting up all but itself, just put them on the shelf free time for yourself Lyrics to rise: Curs' ed female emotional warfare Damn' ed males physical, unemotional warfare The battle of a single mind Destroying the thing we wind Will we fall behind? Look backwards, at the passing of time, LOOK! AHEAD! Fix what was wrong... and live really long Lyrics to sing to a retreating statue: "Come here I care!" loving mom For a lie is just a defense against closeness, a decent hand to hold on to I wish I could lie and deny, but truth always unfolds don't die Long live the ants live long to them all blow the hate out, is that what I was wondering about? Be By Me Not Too Close, Stagnate Laughter is soon repulsed, I care, perhaps too much, for ones unknown and known my only request: return the zest, Return my dreams or the balance of force I have retreated in the solace of universally translated hope; I solidify and take shape, running in many directions.

There's no people around now, just us no hustle or bustle no rushing feet of frantic commuters just us down here, the clean up crews All the escalators are turned off so we have to walk all the way down the lights are always kept on down here in the underground No trains now are shooting by not on the early morning night shift just me and the morning crews cleaning up the tunnels and tracks It get's pretty eerie down here sometimes you think you hear voices but usually it's just the rats down here fighting mating or just squeaking The air in the tunnels is rather stagnate and stale in some parts water seeps in for a little while and what you find on the tracks can be a bizarre list you never know what you will come across on the night shift By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

On The Night Shift
Lying in wait Prone to stagnate Unfulfilled dreams It's never too late I sleep not For I am awake Immersed in frustration Time to create Not procrastinate With eyes open Feeling deflated Hardly elated   Don't hesitate To Reevaluate Rise up from bed Set the engine to rev Idle instead? It's all in your head Lying in wait To Regurgitate The ideas in your brain Manifest to inflate The cognitive state Invent a gimmick, solution, or trait Should I reiterate For the duration Due to inflation? Remember this date No time to debate Today is a gift Isn't that great? Not a moment too soon Must have been fate.

Under Stagnation
Your lips were at the bottom of the shot glass in that dim blue bar. Disembodied. Bluish pink,   and swimming as I swished around the last of my drink. Usually when I drink I try not to think about girls, because I get depressed easily. You rub my body in moving beads and your lips and the bluelight are usually the last thing I remember. Maybe if I take a girl in the bathroom and ********** her on the sink as the oil in her hair greases the mirror and the flies watch, maybe I'll be able to blur myself out, and not even go back to you as you stagnate in a blue glass full of blue fluid.
