Finally, a Vision, Yes?
It’s very confusing
how sometimes the lamplight
curtains or not
you know what I mean.
The proud asphalt surface
still wet today
speaks to me
the ancient something.
Like I would watch
sometimes but
yet not yet
correct?

How About Some Heliocentric Astronomy?
As the last vagrant memories flicker and wane
On the balmy shore of my long lost youth
What frightful message do the waves bear
On their solemn backs, sorrowful and
Rigid like the face of a sleeping god?
What conspicuous gestures lie concealed
Amidst those infinite wells of masks
Ever-changing in the light of disarray?
And why is the Moon so sweet to me now
And wherefore the Sun like a distant friend,
The capital of misery and despair
Safe from the flood of constant reflections?
Lost among the grapes and the vines
My shattered heart forever wanders
Seeking a single flower, a flower called Grace
But alas, gripped by this overwhelming daze -
Where can I hide my innocent face?
No gentle embrace, no gentle embrace!
I’ve seen the night in the depths of your eyes
Delve into mine like splinters of a horrid dream
And I’ve heard the ghastly voices sing
In sickly words I recognized as my own.
I curl into myself as if I was whole
And the waves keep coming in, unguided,
Moistening my lips with their frigid kisses.

no.
it’s not me.
I am an oceanographer.

Jerry,
I will run.

burp!

A Closed System
At the beach,
you can pick seaweed from the rock
which can then be eaten
by the anemones
and small fishes.
Making a little splash
in a big pond
has been known for some time
to be beneficial
for the utilization of knowledge.
(But what role do hierarchies play
in the separation
of church and state?)
A brief look
at who we are
and where we see the value
in the value-less world
is a common theoretical starting point
because it already assumes
the solution.
