this is how we get things done
he departed as a cliche
a kindred,
but broken
spirit
spigot
and you said
there goes a man
who lost everything
and your voice kinda quivered on the second part and i could tell we were both on the verge of tears
there goes a man
who’s lost everything
and when there’s nothing
there’s a blue steam under the pillowcase surface
the other side is cooler
always has been
but tonight is different
rock bottom turns to quicksand
i noticed you from a distance and was moved
my druthers would urge me to move even closer
even more closely
and i saw that overwhelming pure light
it did something even anesthesia can’t do to me
TKO
stunned— your orange aura and team spirit
well, before i go into that, remember when you said
i really do not know what to say and i’m never at a loss for words
so it is with me, JINX!
i was at a loss but when i lose, i lose consistently
and i want a name when i lose
but you’re sleeping with the enemy
we have something in common.
difference
when you are speechless you stop
at times, for me, when i don’t have the words, they come out involuntarily
since i have no internal filter
so all that was the long way around saying that when i saw you
instead
of
freezing
up
or
becoming human petrification
i spoke ‘god bless you’
and thus begun the courtship
and just when i knew thought you had given up on me,
you gave me the greatest day of my life and i want to see you ever day and
be your boyfriend
Don’t worry about anything. Be happy because everything is going your way more than it has in a long time. Just work on your portion control and exercise and smoke the cuban cigar that’s goin out while you droid and drive
Just surged thru me as I’m ridin to gas station w christina (I’m droiding and driving as she holds the wheel). I was talkin to james cobra and thinkin about past present and future with that old friend… I was just about to change my current city from austin back to one in alabama. I was thinking about whether I should think broad or specific as to which city/suburb/town to represent.
Then I remembered when you said you either wanted to live in crestwood or [somewhere I don’t remember] if you stayed in alabama and I remember how that just blew me away; almost as spiritual as finding out you were a trekkie because I represent the legendary heart of dixie by way of crestwood and I lived there the first twelve years of my life and I always wanted to move back to that same house in crestwood.
Its the one I left to move out here to clay, alabama where I met my first clay friend, james cobra.
The wave of nostalgia and angst and maybe fear/panic hit me wondering just how many memories and reminders and triggers would come with that old house. I remember the sound of the dove singing. It still calms me. I remember my great grandmother. I remember the in-ground swimming pool my dad built himself in nine days.
But the wave was a bad rush. Not a good one. You’re not enough to cause that level of a rxn. Maybe I’m just afraid of nostalgia itself.
I wish id written this better and maybe started earlier.

The breeze of three fifty+two amen Cools, spiritually and otherwise as our paths cross Never to happen again
You and your thinki— nay, +calcul8ng+ clouds swallow me like moby dick from the bible. I back stabbath thee
My face is relaxed. It is a sheet of flesh that slides ever downward, thus making me an honorary mouth breather.
I can move my brain into my toes I bring awareness next, to my ankles then I repeat til my whole body has registered with brain. I feel like I am flying, ever upward. Problems are solved. Perspective is obtained
halfway between the out of doors and inside the lakehouse as you read this, send your brain to my eyes. Right now I see an almost anachronistic smart phone
bushes, the white handrail, just had minor halluciation. I see my enlightened thumbs typing like larry q motherfucker
Naturally, I live the rocknroll lifestyle; I rock ta live and live ta rock
But that’s not what got me to this rocking chair.
I see my arms, my shins. Feet toes, calves, legs. Wind chimes time so perfectly that it almost supports chritian shit. That my cue. Everyone reading, pls gimme feedback or reblogs or tips… w/e
Not I shall melt into the earth
