Kitten Can Noodle

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

Voices Rant On
05:18
|

(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?

Marvelous Syntax
05:01
|
|||
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
03:35
|
|||
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.
