ATTENTION I am spiky bold and brash I’m imagining I love to eat berries most of all You’re imagining the amount of pain a prick can procure I save my warm softness for the underbelly of all things the state between wake and sleep where visions of cartoon wisps ambulate and cascade behind that eyelid curtain neither predator or prey just out here dancing for berries I’ll regenerate with every moon I’ll sing the moon down to a spoon for you so you can eat her with just one bite she is blue she is blueberry ------ rebel I psy ops tie dye eye drops tiller third eye pops flip flops drips drops until that eye dried out my cloud cumulus my cloud drip drop homunculus my cloud an eye cloud englebert humperdink until its real in this ------- against the window against the window it's raining, each time i catch those first drops my heart flops and flip flops the energy in the air as the bird comes clear and I seek shelter sure to catch a few raindrops on my pate life of fallen oak spent a year in sun soak a new one comes a whole year on the water the wind whipping the waves fresh water digits and digits spray the air giant worms to the surface and I'm surrounded permeates fresh light metabolizing yeast warrants fair in curls complete I wouldn't have gone there but I went there so I'm going there I wouldn't have gone there but I went there so I'm going there I'm strong, long, rolls begins short thick rocking robin beating against the window ---- smoky blue horizon

I want to build a bathhouse But I don’t know how It would be fancy to have one And my friends would enjoy it I would share it and we could all enjoy it It would be homemade concrete and rebar Some bricks too With a good foundation We’ll be relaxing just me and you I want to build my own bathhouse I just found some instructions for just how Need walls and a roof too And a place to sit with a stove for fires You knew Finish it will art before you take her apart All I ever wanted was a bath house

alan watts- the name given to the founder of taoism means, "the old boy" --- my regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send and I got neighbors they're more like strangers we should be friends I just need a way out of my head I'll do anything for a way out of my head. --- fist full of dollars fist full of shadows fist full of digits plain pain plane window pane sane liminal we gain subliminal remain been pumping my fist in the air clutching my shadows there sayin lookie here not lookie there ----- call me rabbit comin' hoppin' in with big long ears

completely the same feelings and circumstances on some level on a really poignant level like, oh I'm in that again ---- where'd you go Neville? meow --- lil' troy wanna be a baller shot caller 20 inch blades on the impala call her get laid tonight swisher rolled tight I got sprayed by ike I hit the high way making money the fly way but there's gotta be a better way a better way better way yeah ---- wisdom of wishes sent ---- alan watts ...if you really wanna change your life you must'nt let the devil know because he will oppose you with all his might if he suddenly discovers you're going to escape from his power... --- we sat crossways akimbo long night under the venusian drapes the candle dappled light shifting shadows changed our faces changing the position of nose of mouth the clock ticked from somewhere behind so much to say as we both jawed and yet as I reflect nothing new was said at all which reminds me now the devil is a perfect mirror for the ego ------ veiled torpor smooth and waxing had obfuscated her vision that season she kept catching glimpses of that thing like the edge of the edge of a jar with light refracting and glinting but it was no physical object instinct told her to run and keep running yet every wise crone in the village had suggested otherwise now her hair is tugged and tousled by hundreds of tiny mice ideas shoot out of unprepared mouths and yet a stillness surrounds and still, there, floating in the periphery that jag of savior light the idea that could save If only it could be reached, captured, contained, and embodied ---

whaa? you said you can dance? well roll up your pants at the bottom make sure that your ankles are free take off your stiff shoes if you got em whaa? you said you can dance? five alarm four alarm three alarm me here's me wonderin' what it could be a dance song, you dancing? not me dancing and dancing ain't free ain't free 'cause this song made a prisoner of me by directing my body and moving my mind and dropping dripping dropping from calcium eyes and the scale tipping slowly in favor of free and taking my time i sink swallowed in and prisoner no more i am dancing again. (2x) --- when you're thinking of jelly you spread it on toast when you think of my belly you know that its full you know that its full of the nutrient load you know that its full of that nutrient load the videsco conference is falling apart when you're walking in the woods look at your feet you know you could you should look at your feet look at your feet right there between your toes all the crumbly detritus nutrient load it's a nutrient load it's a nutrient load when you're coming up through the water gasping for air you're taking giant lungfulls of air its a nutrient load ah it cools the soul its a nutrient load oh it ain't harmful the videsco conference is falling apart ---- a word’s worth snap on the snail purse male purse man purse purse of the lips to pursue a purpose biting my lip to relay the motive I could explode with the coming notions a words worth put up a front first hiding back to be a mack internal on the plate to snack eternal jack of many hats I flay the beat I slay the beat I make the beat and treat the beat to snacks ----- out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck I'm crappin' corn and jello and I'm scorned sittin' here on my seat, it's thorns I see an owl, it's horned I see some jello in my belly belly mellow I see some jello in my belly belly mellow and I'm torn I'm torn out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck I saw my cat friend forming a loaf outside the sliding door hunched and loafed almost praying eyes closed praying, I can tell, praying for me to come out I walked to the computer to type the noticed moment I am here now typing about this noticed moment burning numb she’s so wonderful so kitty I will now go to her and hold her a precious cat friend will be held today and stroked in just the way she likes out of the mud and the muck and I'm sun struck ---- where everything is right suspended silence as we walk forever in step free to think to meander nothing forced gifting the gift tree straddling the large fallen oak and holding and holding everything shimmering where everything is right thigh to thigh legs locked tight or sleeping soundly over there contented breathing sounds from deep shake loose old held yearning rising over, then diving under each movement precisely guided where everything is right barely following the narrative because the moment is so full imprinting on memory arrayed felt information like this is possibility like this is freedom like this needs no more words ---
