Stillness
A man who...(or a woman)
who stands amongst the mountain top
and gazes
for a second
not even a second
something in between time
his mind, bare
his breath, captive
everything is silent
and in this moment
or lack of one I might say
he senses
and he smells
and he sees the world for what it truly is
Rolling on the shoulders of those green hills
balancing the sky
but his
his conscious mind
engulfs him in these grids
these meaningless associations
this truth and acceptance has left him
and naturally he wants to bottle it
hold it
and keep it
and snuggle it
but its ripped away from him
Some go their entire life w
Gone now
I'm catching glimpses of moments
Lying awake in bed
I don't see how I fit into this
Like a single frame out of context
I haven't quite connected with these people yet
I haven't quite seen their depth
And I'm yanked away before I can
I'm always somewhere
But never long enough to know where
The sad part is I'm starting
To like this hole in the wall
Makes me question
Why I ever left
Maybe it's the tractor fumes
Or the emphasis on American beer
Has gone to my head
Maybe it's the city lights
Stretched over miles of open field
Or maybe it's just a hole in the wall
A hole I couldn't fill the first time around
Each mome
Next time won't you sing with me?
The sun is setting
Setting in the east
And I can't help
But to realize
Realize I'm just.
I'm just a tiny bipedal humanoid
Riding in a four legged,
Power steering, paul simon blaring,
Piece of machinery
And that giant boiling mass
Reaches down and swims through my every molecule
And I
I should be out there
Feet bare,
bare as the rock I ride
but why walk when I can ride
my logic is my wall
logic is A wall
Well rather how logic comes
Where it comes
How it sings it's ABC's
But we ride regardless
Because it's comfortable and cozy
We ride
From A to Z, we ride
Without any thought of

And I hate it when we're the same tempature
I like it better when
you're a bit colder
a bit warmer
because that way
when I hold you
when I close my eyes
I won't forget that you're right there
lying next to me
I can pretend that we're not one
I can remind myself why I need you
I can remind myself that you're still there
I can pretend that I'm seperate from everything else
that I'm alone except when I'm with you
that I'm not floating endlessly, absorbed
in an infinite mass of cause and effect
I can remind myself that you're
fire
and I'm a tree
slumping in the forest
waiting for a spark to
Isolation is the greatest master
What would you do with immortality?
Search for truth,
the secrets of the universe,
why we're born,
and why we're here?
Would you scourer the lands
In pursue of beauty?
What would you find?
Your own truth
Or some grand whole truth,
The secrets of you
Or of that around you,
And would you find
That the birth of you
Is why you're here?
The most essential teacher
Is you
The most vital observer
Is you
But often we put this onto others
To be there to correct us
To share this burden
To relinquish this responsibility
But immortality is isolation
And isolation can be
Connective
And connected
I'm not sure I was cut out for this
hell, I'm not sure if we were cut out for this
punching numbers and reading books
answering calls and playing games
watching tv and checkin' out looks
Please before I die let me out of this
let me live the way I was ment to live
or rather the way I want to live
with my head held high
watching birds in the sky
Let me hear the trees
and understand the reason
they becon to the breeze
I want to become a master of me
and by master I mean no master at all
like the way a gent has his hands
glued to the door
for a lady in blue
Let me dance around a fire
trying to mimic the sounds
of the distant

Maybe I just need a break...

Let me take some time
to unwind
Push the play button
drift away
I don't care if its a rerun
I don't want to think about
what I should've done
Or shouldn't have done
Or What i could be doing
I just want to be there
square
in the picture, throwing remarks
at my favorite characters
to take a spaceflight and disembark
I just don't want to be here
so please take me away
please say
those lines that make me tear
that make me die laughing
that make me know that they're sincere
I always come back
And I am here
But I don't want to come back
here
I'm tired of this
and I'm tired of you

And she owns you.
Every movement becomes hers.
She can twick the strings
any direction she wants,
and you move that way.
You read every word she says
and it begins to sound like a
master-
piece.
On a tiny stage
you dance in her hands.
And you make yourself believe
you want to live forever
so you can dance forever.
Then she becomes your fate,
your feeling,
your sight- your blind spot.
Until she becomes you altogether
and you become nothing.
Nothing but a single atom.
A single ember
that managed to escape the fire.
It leaped out
and burned out.
Dancing into ashes.

Go Back to Sleep, I Hate...
He Appeared
1. Through the veil of morning dew
his fingers were bullets
we swallowed them willingly
unknowingly, at first.
2. We drove with our feet to the floor
it was our job.
Stretching our outstretched wings not knowing
the ground would find us again.
3. We searched for days on cliffsides.
He promised us ivory nails
stretching what we knew from comfort
and the wind was picking up.
Hey I'm talking to you.
Before you hang yourself with cliffhangers and hide
away in that hinterland thing you're rocking, listen unto
me once, albeit it isn't the last.
Now gather all the breath you have
I'm g
