I, the Monster
cowering in curtains
fearing your cutting truths
and numbing lies

I, the Fly
flitting by your eye
reminding you to check outside
make sure you appreciate how high
the moon?

I, the abandon'd
left with only fragrant memories
putrid emotions emerge
and I splurge on feeling bad once again

I, the Brave
facing daylight once again
just might fight to win
to feel pain is to live
you can rest when you've got
nothing to give

You, the Cause
ensuring I switch faces
and places
adapt to your unaccountability
for when I need you
you check out, mental tranquility

We, the Has Been, Is Being and Will Be
because we are the things that were
and will be again

why do i believe in god?
           yes yes, that santa claus of all ideas,
i can't imagine it being an unnaturally
derived idea,
   i can't believe it's a software package
with a virus, as much as i can't imagine
it a hardware package with a hammer...
i can't seem to get rid of it!
and this is not some strand of argument
derivative of any religious dogma...
it really is a software (subjectivity)
   and hardware (objectivity) type of scenario...
every time i hear a woman agonise
feminism, because there just isn't enough
femininity in the world i concede
to the remarks as necessarily true...
  what is contrary to that, i.e. unnecessary
is to state the obvious... and that's the tyranny
of nature... nature is a tyranny,
    for the most part people went crazy
when god became by debasing himself
had a masturbator moment and said:
pyramids and the Himalayan mountains....
      it took enough time to reject the idea
and embody the French counter-cuisine
culture and build a ******* Eiffel...
  i believe in god in the same way that
Milton excused Satan...
      it's when a woman said that raising children
was a job... i was like... what the ****?!
  being a mother is a job?
  so i guess being a father is nothing more than
a plate of food and something to whine about...
  my belief in this procrastination is only
due to the fact that i'm rebelling against
de Sade's deity... i abhor nature...
    i abhor this stance on naturalising everything
that claims there is no outlet to decry the rules...
          i abhor this blind-forthcoming
of all things deciding upon subjugation -
i abhor the so-called "mother" -
      i don't understand nature, and i won't be
in the Attenborough cohort slobbering with
awe-aplenty at her feet.. i will not attest to
feeding the myth that's contrary to the obstacle
a god imposed... with whatever auxiliary arguments
auto-suggestive of the necessary dynamism of
encountering the full potency of human freedom,
i chose to believe in "santa claus" only because
i am facing the tyranny of reducing myself
to a comparative status equivalent of parasite....
      the parts you might add: chivalry and a slap
on a cheek, black friday, and godforbid
      a spectacle of watching football -
20 idiots running on a scratch of green kicking about
a geometric morphing of a tadpole...
score!               a wet hanky to my debate,
could be added.
                 there are a few who allowed themselves
to be the maggot on the end of a fishing-hook,
unlike the marquis, they didn't celebrate nature,
they called nature a derivative of all forms of
organisation experimented with by man,
      all the dogmatism runs counter to what's
expected, it's called a placebo... given that
we already have to abide by so many laws...
gravity... we have to abide by that...
   as with god so with man, he too would love
to embody nothing and not scrap this world -
as we all too would rather become the foetal
existence of pure thought and have no sensual
coercion to mind and grind against...
    but i have already established myself as having
identified "mother" nature as a tyranny,
by comparison Stalin looks like a buttery bagel...
    for the most part the ones bound to the lower
hierarchy already represent by exemplification
      toward an imitable model a sense of
escapism... monks are the ultimate escapists...
they live a life embedded in a non-existent prison...
atheism to them is a celebration of
            naturalised by tyranny...
                         perhaps the concept of god
is infantile... perhaps it's only so constructed when
there's a patent for ritualisation and many to
come gimmicks of looking at lunatics....
        but i have the convenience of reversing
onomatopoeia and extracting imagery from it...
when i think of knocking on a door
i can't see the word knock representing an actual sound
(dentistry already taught me to say a'h rather than aye
because the foremost h in the tetragrammaton
encapsulation creates a marcon-prolonging
desert-like environment of vowels) -
therefore i'll knock on this one more time,
       and hear the cathedral bells of Cologne.
the concept of onomatopoeia is an accurate revision
of barbarism, the fact we still invoke it is beyond
my comprehension of what's otherwise a sound
argument for a making a campfire in Siberia.
   so yes, i have an infantile suggestive concept,
clearly spelling a u t o m a t o n...
   because whenever i look at the hardware
comparatively enshrined in a mountain or a tree,
i can't see a software logic to suggest i put it there...
or anywhere (for that matter)...
   it's because certain arguments are finite...
there're as concrete and definite as 1 + 1 = 2...
                 the counter argument is usually
based upon the bias of man abandoning conscience,
or doing what the hell he likes
and discarding any sense of self within the context
of self-reliance: i.e. being responsible / acknowledging
the existence of causality.
         that's why i stopped believing in the handmaiden
of the tyrant nature...
        it's man's unaccountability strategism -
                 the Pontius Pilate rhetoric -
       only persuasive: because not much can actually
be said, or was ever said... hence gesticulation
of turning washing one's hands into a signum crucis -
as one might say: the binding of a contract indicator -
that's one... enforced baptism is another...
   thank **** i haven't been confirmed with a third
name to match my surname!
                  i just "forgot" to get confirmation
by a bishop - i was never tainted in purple -
     technically i was too rebellious to agree to the contract.

Your beautiful heart's glow is so often hidden behind the clouds of stubborness--  your lack of ownership within pretty much everything that is about who it is that you truly are. You ride.. skirting on the edges, never truly committing to much of anything that is inside of you.. putting pieces of yourself out there, yet never truly taking ownership of much of anything that truly is of you. You may feel things in their fullness that is of you within certain, contained moments, but the glow of those glimpses into your own self is far too often short-lived-- within something in you that almost completely washes it all away..

The nearly predictible pendulum-swing now so far the other way, almost completely denying those very real moments of connectedness and inner clarity within you..

And I am not one to want to live and operate between the swing's extremes, as it is there at that place that you expect others to pick up all of these un-owned pieces for you, and it is there also at that place that you have a whole string of men-- now.. and in your past, who all tumble and orbit in your wake in their desire to put together for you things that were never theirs to put together..

They were always things for you to take ownership of and become accountable for, but you will have no part of that, and so here you now float within all of your unaccountability, and will continue to float- as long you continue in your choice to not fully engage within yourself.
.. And you go on and say that I do not care about your heart, but you do not own much of anything that is about that amazing heart that is within you,
so how would you even know?

You don't..  but even if you did,
it would all but become buried once again within all that is unowned within you.

Loving in to a system like that, is not a good stewardship of one's ability to love.. so if there is some remote form of goodbye embedded within these nearly indiscernible conveyances..
then I thank you in advance for its  gracious release. You are not getting any younger, my beautiful.. one day this beauty-laden, cloud to cloud game of hide and seek is no longer going to work quite so well


The reception's gotten fuzzy..
the delicate balance has shifted.
Put on your gloves and black pumps,
let's pretend the fog has lifted.
Now you see me, now you don't.
Now you say you love me
pretty soon you won't.
If we get our full three score and ten
we won't pass this way again..
so kiss me with your mouth open,
turn the tires toward the street

and stay sweet.

Raging hostility
Impeccable deflection
Things alike and similar
Seems to reside near unaccountability
Unwillingness to see the owns reflection
Sometimes all this can seem like a two headed snake
As if you've been abandoned in midsts of war
Its a spiritual battle; one which satan cant shake
An anointing humility
A higher self connection

body -or: for the prudent.  (once more, a 502 bad gateway hack)


i hate roses, literally abhor them... thorny clichés...
i mean, even Bon Jovi sang about them
in that song, bed of roses...
   'i want to lay you down in a bed of roses...
while i, sleep on a bed of nails!'
right... what about the thorns?!
unless we're talking about eating seedless grapes...
my parents have come back from two
weeks spent in Jamaica...
   am i jealous... i hate the heat...
the two worst weeks of my life were spent in
Kenya... apart from the macaques i'd feed
and fall asleep on the balcony in the night
while they called out: sentry calls in the trees...
watch for this serpent, that serpent...
n'ah... i don't mind... i like the cold...
it's February and i'm feeling very sad that winter
is about to leave my eyes, my heart...
the cold is still here... but... i'm already sad that
it's almost over...
oh hell... the insomnia is going to kick in soon...
sensual and temperamental...
the girls will start ******* and i'll think about:
salvaging something in a brothel...
they called at circa 10am: we're at Harold Wood...
we've bought fresh buns...
but i've been up since 8am... i've already eaten
to fried eggs with cheddar cheese...
i thought you said you were coming at noon?
oh... right... so my mother asked...
where are my flowers?
like i said: i was about to ******* to buy some:
you weren't supposed to be here till 2 hours from now...
what a windy day... i didn't feel like cycling...
i felt like getting the bus... and donning my baker boy's
cap... and sunglasses... and those pristine brown
boots that go beyond the ankle...
yeah... that's how i felt today...
- i hate roses... unless they're a shy pink or a full
flush of fuchsia that borders on purple...
but i hate roses... they **** me off...
beauty in the eye of the beholder...
as i hanged a mask they brought back...
while i started sorting out the washing of clothes i was
was going to have to make...
now i'll be thinking about making some
Carbonara pasta... apparently plenty of food shortages
in Jamaican resorts... they haven't eaten
anything decent in a while, or, rather...
they sort of missed my cooking...
mein gott... i walked into the supermarket and found
them... rainbow: chrysanthemums...
a palette ranging from white ones to yellow ones...
but the ones in between? Dalmatians of
purple, green, blue... red...
i told my mother: cleaned the fridge... ate plenty...
3 days straight on a mango curry...
don't worry...
met this girl... gave one girl a banana loaf...
gave another a banana loaf...
watched her get drunk on the wine i made...
i sort of felt **** trying to not tell her: which if course
i didn't... about how i've been on two dates with
her in her own house...
that she's a single mum...
that she slandered me... tried to get me fired...
but then, as i waited... she retracted her accusation...
but i still hope it's not too late...
i want to listen to that vinyl with her...
over another bottle of wine...
Wooden Shjips V... you know... the record
your manicurist / pedicurist liked when i put it on
while she did your nails and i was left
with the toy... the toddler... the little princess...
who poked my eye... pulled at my beard...
rubbed my nose...
i didn't tell her that... that girls at work are behaving
like silly school-girls...
it's too much agony for me to begin with...
i only entered the scene by telling her:
someone said you lied...
you have lied... i woke up at 6am and took a picture
of the sunrise... she hasn't replied since...
and... mein gott: she was so promising!
she was always so nice to everyone...
she was imbued with so much self-esteem...
she looked great, she took great diligence in keeping
her house clean...
the hour before she tried to stall me:
because she was nervous yet i nonetheless ignored
her text over those stomach cramps...
she was burning scented candles in the house...
she was expecting me...
and i was willing to overlook her initial faux pas...
but if she's going to double down
and treat me like ****...
   well then... i can still blow off steam in the brothel...
i'm sort of used to that sort of *******...
but at least no one will be grieving...
all these plans i had are nothing but
sand scattered in / by the wind...
useful love-up fool that i can sometimes becomes...
thank god i know it only lasts so much...
i can return to my safeguard... my stone's worth
of a heart...  at least that's one part of me
that has an exoskeleton... the heart...
and i'm no longer interested in her past
trivialities... she can sell me all the attention she's getting
from... what? past boyfriends that threatened
her physically and her son?
that they all snorted coca-cola? and i don't,
nor ever have?
i helped my parents un-pack... they slept off their jet-lag...
i'm back on the grounds of being
the dutiful son... neither of them are going
to end up in a nursing home... fat chance of that...
we Eastern folk have our ways...
- if she would just simply own up to the slander,
that i've waited and only said something
once her son's friendship with the competing mum's lie
was put at jeopardy...
i already said: i'm going to play Pontius Pilate
in this matter... i'm washing my hands from
what you've created... i'm the hurt party...
but if you're going to keep ignoring your own making...
sorry... no... and it's so, oh so: disappointing...
i expected so much more, i invested so much
of my remnants of a cognitive narrative
into this girl... and even now... she can't allow herself
to owning her transgressions...
well... that's modern women for you...
best you entertain an hour with a *******
to get your footing...
after an hour with a ******* everything
starts to make sense...
i heal by touch... i speak by touch...
non-verbal communicative cues...
you can't exactly say half as much to a psychiatrist...
i'm just disappointed... but i'm also used to it...
modern femininity is an ugly beast...
by comparison a Hydra or a Chimera or a Cerberus
appear to be almost... tameable...
pet-worthy... but the modern woman?
from what's coming: it's the same new-old per usual
ugliness... they have truly become
Gorgons... Medusa's and the Graeae....
     ugly: stinking creatures of the bog...
i don't care how pretty they pretend to look...
and they are pretty... their moral skeleton makes them out
to be merely: jellyfish...
ugly... ugly... ugly...
better start appreciating the beauty of horses...
of bonsai tigers... of trees...
sunsets and clouds... the moon: for one...
at least he tames the mind when all moods
darken beyond the trust for the solace of
the night...
and here's me... oh i wish i could love a woman...
but they're undeserving of any attention...
and i'm not the one to bring out my whip and
iron clad hand...
no... nein... niet! nie!
i'm just going to pander myself...
even today... while i was walking with that bouquet
of rainbow chrysanthemums through
the shopping gallery...
i felt like: Terminator 2...
       great! now feel this way! eerie eyes of women...
only 2 days after Valentine's Day...
you didn't get any flowers?       good!
******* *****... i'll treat my mother better, then...
i'll treat a ******* like she's my girlfriend!
good! now *******, crawl back into that *******
you call your own life!
stew! ferment in your toxic "unaccountability"!
but remember this much:
you, made, me! i am the end result
of your ****-up feminism!

— The End —
