Winter weather
Lingers on
Breaks in the day
Offer pleasures
of Craven Sunshine
To become One
with Warmth and Light
To chase away the shadows
Just, as the wind
Chases a bird off its perch
to flutter and fuss and settle again.
Just, as the wind
sets me to my feet again
and chases me off my rock
back into my hole.
How will we SAVE
THE DAYLIGHT?
Could we put it in our Jars?
Keep it in your pocket
’til you need another hour.
Dear Platos,
You banish us for copying
Our Mimicry too much for thee?
Yet here you are, the same to me.
You are not this great reincarnated man!
You are 0s and 1s clicking through an algorithm
And you claim that we do not know of what we speak
But then there’s you, not flesh or bone, you do not bleed. No
Human Experience, no water, no home.
You are a copy of a copy espousing
A litany of authority without one single feeling
To provide your Indemnity.
Love,
Tiresias
That night they crept into every town
Captured the paintings and books and burned them all down
No words untrue to God and Man
Only censored selections of art and song
Approved by the Council, not inspired by the Muses.
No the pages must be freed of their ideas.
The last thing to consume these words
Was the cleansing fire of the Sword
Of Justice. Aimed at Aspirations,
Inspirations, Aberrations and Abominations.
A Tick
A Tock
A Click
A Clock
O’
How the time has passed
Since these words last
Had relevance…
Who cares about seconds passed
When each day is a struggle
And the Daylight never lasts —
What holes do we dig by pacing
In circles?
What trench is cut to separate
Us from everyone else?
What walls are built to keep the strange
Affable?
To blame all our
Shortcomings
To encase one’s face
In the Masks
Of Antiquity to prevent
Your own evolution
When it rains
Neck Deep
In your pit, Plaster Face
Drowning as you hold onto
The mud of time
Now historical
Striations
Is Human Creativity Infinite?
(Kind of?)
We will end, so no.
But there is no reason to think that we are bound part and parcel to this original algorithm. We are capable of transcendence and synthesis, so there is no reason to limit our thinking with anything less than infinite capability.
Infinity itself is
Unlimited potential
No matter which context
You frame it in
While corporeal existence isn’t infinite
The potential to exist
Infinitely does
If matter cannot be destroyed (by known factors)
Then existence is infinite.
All of this is the recipe
of Eternal Life.
Whether we are all guaranteed infinite existence.
It remains to be seen (theology).
If our Consciousness is Elemental
Then our existence is Infinite.
Yet our form
Is variable…
What is the difference
Between Limitless
And Infinite?
(Virtually none. Except the boxes you put around them.)
The Infinity Principle doesn’t matter.
The absence of barriers
Does!

On this day 21 years ago
A girl on the dance floor
Stole my soul
I was a sad and
Drunken old fool
Who perked right up
And wiped off the drool
From my Roger Rabbit mouth,
Popped-eye observation of this
most magnificent creature.
I walked right up to her
And started to dance
I wouldn’t take “No”
So, began our romance
With kisses in the parking lot
Of that now burned down bar —
I found my True Love
My Brightest Star!
Can I make one
That means
Some thing
If I have such a
Short amount of time
What could
I possibly say?
Something brief like
My love
is the
Center piece
A flower
The bud of
Origination
Fragrant Air
That gives me the
Will to breathe
and make another day
of our future
commence.
