ok… whiz bang post right here…
an honest,
very few holds-barred attempt
to wring out an understanding of
my basic essence…
and ultimately i’m just trying to stop the post teaser from giving away too much… so finally
i’ll also say
that there’s a wild nugget from
rock’n'roll history to listen to as well… so give a click… take a second out of your busy day and see if there is something here worth reading… finite jester
all i’ve got is a quest to somehow record
these random moments of existence
as they keep spinning out
around me
and mere words
these carefully haphazard reflections
of
past time/space imagery
will always fade
as i try to press them into…
well, this
whatever this is…
personal… (if i lie)
collective… (if i dream)
ok… so…
indeterminate existence
somehow beyond the time-space
of a moment where i got
audacious enough
to pretend to confront
what it was…
that my…
self-understood examinations of….
hmm….
whatever this,
that thing currently driving this time-space,
that occasionally drives me to words
and often drives me to drink,
is trying to accomplish
here…
yep…
here
and the cognoscenti know what i mean
landfill lyrics
moments of soaring joy
sea-gulls swoop by and grab a nugget,
bringing it up
towards destruction
which looks alot like ascension
to the cognition
stranded in refuse
and refusing to dream
and there are moments when
all i want to do is scare people
shock them
out of their standard parameters
out of their carefully designed
sense of self
i guess at some point i have to admit
that it will never make sense
i could ascend to the soap-box
for the thousandth time,
and make eye-contact
with you
yep; you…
just you and no-one else
and it will never make sense
because i stand here
you stand there
and so long as either one of us
are convinced that we are right
understanding
can never occur
semantics is how we dance
necessary fundamental part of existence
otherwise differentiation that enables perception
cannot be.
no you v. me
no world…
it’s sad that it all boils down to the battles
the different perspectives
that become important enough
to spill all that blood
which has written history
wouldn’t it be funny if there where
exactly…
42 questions
that were essential to understanding life etc…
and they were set in an archetype of understanding
i see as a prayer wheel
just spend a moment
dreaming up your mind as a rodent
chasing after some golden nugget
spinning a wheel
that makes a sort of electricity
your mind is unable to grok
sorry…
but no matter how hard you try
the essence of that
is not going to be understood
in terms our wordily world-driven
senses will ever get
and
because i cannot stop trying to
understand this fundamental question…
i can’t figure out what to do…
there is a pause…
talking plant says…
make more prayer wheels

ok… how many cocktails did it take to make this one?
January 22nd, 2006 at 5:45 pm
At least twelve that i am aware of…
January 22nd, 2006 at 5:47 pm
wonders how awareness factors into this thread

I admire two-word videos as much as I admire short dreams. Would it be permissible to nominate finite jester’s cool poetic juxtaposition, “landfill lyrics”, to the Hall Of Cool Poetic Phrases? Distillation rocks, if you ask me.

nominate away… i am honored…
interestingly enough (at least to me) that particular phrase was one that i originally used in writing a poem on a styrafoam cup while driving back from a day spent knocking on doors to raise money for an environmental orginazation
