I hear no voices in my head
And recently I've been eating
Whatever it is that suits me,
And everyday I wish I were
Division and acknowledgement
Of no higher power other than
Unintentional neglect, depression
If there's nothing there for you
Not new and polished at all
And in disposition, regulation,
But already threaded to have been
Camped in, and eventually—
Riverbend, will you wither here
In less than a year, I beg for death
—still, I was sacrificed.
I had not expected to hang this low
Without having been picked
I had not bittered, nor broken
And still I was pardoned,
Still I was pardoned, and still
Death comes in soft warnings
I didn't want to hurt her;
I didn't want to harm her
Suddenly on front lines with no boots
No shield and no cannons,
No sword at all, and still
I had not bittered, nor broken
And still I was pardoned,
Still I was pardoned, and still
Secrets of the Illuminati Elite.
When was the last time you cried?
I hadn't been planning on writing at all, and leaving the house—the last time I had taken the risk of doing so on such a day, I was nearly trampled by beady eyed racists in MAGA hats and star spangled banner t-shirts— glared, shoved and patonized—and what's worse—
I had been 8 months pregnant. Maybe it was worse in that aspect, I was part of the problem. But—
What was the actual problem again?
Never ever pay you fares for ferry, fairy monster
Never prick for pixies, golden dust and megapixels,
Whimsical, into the ore and out of the forest,
Disassociate before it's too late!
The propaganda of the product.
Still untouched by any or all
Still untouched by mankind, it is
Still untouched by mankind, by many
Buy all you can while you still come
Out and unleashed is the dragon
For your coloring books and
The taking of tire marks.
Just a smidgen armegeddon of corn syrup
And tears on the brink of falling over the shores to the well
The velvet windows, winds on lips and colors red on purple
The way to the wind is the chalice.
And still sparked untruth from foraged windspoke
And now 9 we have gathered.
I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
Might as well be awake for this.
Another unremarkable opera
Waiting conversavive Republican
Oh, no Bananas are always in season
Mango fruit does indeed fall
It's on every Christmas tree
In the absolute sweetness
I could have bought a CBS sponsored waffle iron
But instead invested in ending this depression
Single-handedly with home remedies
From the garden of Eden forgotten,
Perhaps only as steady inward, or in reverse
As I had thought to run or shuffle
There were ten of us there,
Two of them none, and nine become one
And again, the atom has split
I'm still strung up on the rafters,
What a beautiful and pitiful Jack o'lantern
What a disaster, after all—
And moving in circular motion
Hounding is the crown of a thought
Though heavy is the gold in which has made the kingdom,
Of what you now now comes next
In the where-well I parted,
Never once a king, but a god
Willing and ready for attack, goes the king
Waiting and running full force into front lines
Sure to be killed in battle,
And now waiting to be born, also
So take it next to sacrament,
With your sacred prayers and scented candles
What we are and the time we came,
The other world of wonder l l l
Come choir, Come individual countrymen
Come focus this attention deficit,
This intrinsic thought form,
Has indoctorined your subculture.
Sim…sim…sim— why are they all sims?
This one's vaping essential oils.
I know the smell of a lavender and eucaputus oil blend.
I must be at a spa somewhere.
At a spa?! Sleeping to death?
Could a been a slip and fall…
I'm at.. Equinox fitness.
You died at the equinox fitness?
Are you sure it's not the sauna?
Heavy on the eucalyptus oil.
Unsure of anything but the establishment so far and just however everything you were
Was nothing for gain and everything I was,
And again, easy for the mobs
And ready for the torches and ready for the torture
And ready for the rapture
On hard diets and tied to our l forests. Forfitture.
Misaligned and malnourished,
Tied to our desks and wondering
Unsolved problems and foreign language dialects,
Social repressions and expressions of forgiveness, though somehow apologetic,
Or with any indifference at all
With any indifference at all .
Something overcomes whatever we were in that moment
Exactly what became of the thoughts you had for us—
The things you gave us a name to
And here in the suffer-he,
We all fall, like water over Niagara
Or the last rainfall on earth did.
(The rains it never came again,
And then the ocean turned to mud,
And soon to dust, shortly thereafter in your time
But in your way, many lifetimes, and almost too many even to tie to your number, I.
That you can hope for, my dear King, is a fair fight
And then as it were, nothing at all were fair,
But the skin and eyes of the enemy,
The wool of the sheep of course, and the color of cotton.
Therefore you shall too understand this music.
And nothing my dear king begins without another ending,
And all the same is nothing and everything
I too, shall understand these things again.
Try to remember your honor, at the resting tip of the diamond, and at the unburdened idea of circumstance,
The rush of August, the cinema tongue
The blood drawn and again the awakening,
The fertile flower and the dove,
And the greatness of all that was, which was—
In my past, as you call now and present,
But again also may come, in aptitude to darkness.
Farewell, my great, my son and daughter, my king of glory, and farewell to change!
Farewell to fall and farewell to spring, farewell to summer
And very well gone are the oars of the boat which has sunken, and your oars, your arms,
A breath so shallow almost forgotten,
And another great misfortune has come,
And all in all, we all were
No trauma form, the faceless God,
Unknowing of what the world's rules are,
And of course, then coming
Unknown at all to another, and yet
To humankind, all knowing of all things
And being embodied as one,
Then another, and some all
The faceless God, as we all are,
The faceless God, whom we all mock
And The Faceless God, free from the burden of trauma,
Taking all forms and all bodies,
As the time comes upon us,
To walk towards the light and
To free ourselves from all time
Steady, shook, and window watching
To die today. To die today. To die to day.
Is to die at all, not once, but all times
It'll come harder the next time I promise.
At my wits, as the man who had sworn my death now some see fit to wear a crown,
A crown such as I had earned, by death and by will
But he, by birth and by blood and wrong done.
Spin me round right round to where you hand
And as I gallantly had planned to cross, I still hadn't lay last I her embarques all for free and care of down down, now I see something like home, over water
And the waves had tongues,
The smell of gas I cherished and did breathe deepl, as sudden to come, I was as far as I had ever been, and as lonely as I always was, but still, mi finally walk on water
No price, but with time does come the cost and to live as though I always was, here, before the land was born
And the oceans had parted, as something known
I don't want it that much, nor do I need it,
Today ought to be the day for the occult,
And all polished the dolls, waiting the words
The seagulls song had sung
The dance was talked about
I never even saw the lighthouse;
And you're just a face in the crowd
Can you see yourself in me?
Do you hope to, like I do you?
I don't have that disaster.
I really don't have that conquest.
The system, the sacrifice, the annex,
Get out of my alignment m
For the full four for the full force
The best place to live is La.
, but next comes New York, if you're—
I don't know where I was going
—Actually, it was a boat.
