you skipped face first into a spider's web a dyslexic man spit in your 'tips' jar posies posturing predictably precise lines cross intentionally at your feet ev'rything is gleaming with an undeniable perfection trampling and uprooting flowers it's happening as the moonlight scours forget your self to see what else fret about the future wishing to change the past remind your self of your farewells climbing a tree is not beneath your dignity

(we're all always somewhere we're not) now you see me now you do not i don't know why i can not see this for what it is i don't know why i can not see you for who you are (a program full of distractions hiding so it is never caught) wandering in the maze of now (an abundance of emptiness) our "voices rant on" in "conversation" the "meaning of life" is a "fine game of nil" _ does my temporality deam me unnecessary ev'ry moment is repeated every movement retraced liveliness is death disguised trapped in this animation meaning or no meaning you can't tell if it is true instants last forever the seeking never ceases you can't escape it now open your eyes _ our lives are vanishing, our lives are our lives are vanishing, our lives are melt in uncertainty, morning star nothing is everything, so bizarre your life is fantasy, stuck in dream you tend to disagree, veils unseen you're into blasphemy, so obscene you're the anomaly i couldn't be you need some convincing, can't decide too busy performing, cast aside realize your mind's eye is hypnotized i'm sorry i did not recognize energy of fiction, so contrived as a matter of fact is a lie this world is reflected, all is pattern can you discern what has been neglected shall we go on?

conditioned to be lost in our thoughts exist in riddles, cans and cannots i am rewriting rhetoric rhythmically marvelous syntax expert delivery a perfect smile (accept everyone except yourself) i am prototyping pedantic abstractions count the ways i tell you lies seated on the sunrise in disguise are the words beyond their meanings? what is worth saying? i've already lost interest in escaping let go of the need to understand you look but nothing is seen you hear but you're not really listening sadness in ecstacy all that i need to comprehend is this mysterious absurdity nowhere is now here blood, brains, circuitry, and water horticulture of demanding dividends don't know a thing about trust i'm still under the misconception of us i am so easily deceived can you not see? why is this moment rarely bliss? deny everything or accept what is must i misunderstand everything?

cast a mountain into the sea collapsing waves awaiting a collapsing sun memory of a remembrance beware your ego impossible articulation there are no words left for what this is just be where you are you say what you believe well i have nothing nothing to say whispers to the floor boards no replies, no whys distrust unrest belies striving for nothing truth's passion haunting unfold desire before new is through say the first thing that comes to your mind say anything duality is the malady mutuality a formality the fertility of civility anonymity of my identity cast a mountain into the sea? you have to be kidding me i did not intend for any of this not to happen but it's all happening now let go diagrammed meanderings i think that i'll go overturn these tables and seats

Brillante como el verano su Papá me dio un consejo Dejalo. Olvidado. Muy a mí pesar Vamos a descansar. mes de domingos Fuera de bromo quiero quitar me sombrero Imaginario Muy a mí agrado y adelante me conozco! (translation: bright like the sun her dad gave me advice "let it go! forget about it" much to my dismay let's rest (a) month of sundays truth be told I want to tip my imaginary hat much to my delight from now on i'll know this) there's not much to see here take me to a brighter place surrender to the flow sometimes you crash, most times you float i almost did not recognize you cope with no beginning darkness gives to the light what silence gives to sound struggle to no end ev'rything should be done in exclamation! i am you trying to explain myself

Puddled Out 05:34
spirit lying prostrate no sounds, no bounds silver screen dreams scream for green harmony reinforce misanthropy say it- There's no one to live inside your head slippery thoughts that hide intentions shudder to mention regret- avoided but never far embrace- what you could be and now are in excess become weightless struggle with insanity. keep it this secret until i die. repent? it's you who is dead, not i you can't tell if this is farewell face it you're just as lost me. forget how much you want to see grand design where is the time? stuck in a cog of symbols with you still ignorant of the truth synchronous coincidence just forget it did not happen remember it before it happens are memories expectations? absolutely. this moment is a gift that you choose you can take it for granted or with gratitude strung up and tied down mind is free blurry and red-faced just try me is nothing the matter? both improve- that won't soothe blindfold my eyes and bind my wrists madness is pleasure's accomplice ev'ry thought should not be pursued do not let your thoughts seduce you constantly forgetting, always re- membering i am you. that won't do.
