The Year of the Horse Be Now
I just realized that I haven't yet written my diary entry for the day, well
I'm writing it now so I can no longer say that I haven't written it yet but
I'm not done so I can say something to that effect if I am so impelled or
otherwise caused. Impelled I be. I am stuck thinking about the parabolic
structure of Byzantine Social Behavior in he silver elevator of my dread.
Here I be, awaiting my release upon greater floors of more consequence than
the previous, true whether you're going up or down, and I am standing in
circles, spitting on my thoughts as they fly past my eyes & ears like
pigeons waiting to sit down & crap. I don't usually have teh sort of
thoughts that take that crap mid-flight, although that does happen, and
when it does it's usually ugly. I avoid teh tangents and in fact erase them
with a diligence heretonow unbeknownst to the innermost semblance of being
of me. Perhaps I am in there somewhere, but I don't see the pineapple
fields anymore, and I don't smell the sulfrous doom of so many a beaten
generation while I walk through the very real flowers of this life - they
grow around the imaginary mustard plantations & gasoline trees. I can still
see the beastly fruits of the previously unsurmountable foesome mountains
however. As plain as ugliness it very self. They grow & rot at the same
time, peeling their skins back to reveal naked pulp of deciduous longing.
There may be spells cast & recipes concoted & plans illustrated & deviety
blooming all around me, but I can only see the beast-fruits of the monster
trees there in teh distance. Somehow everything is easier to see when it;s
a million miles away. These closer gruesomes are fuzzy outlining. I suppose
that is aided by my new senses, my new ears & nose & mouth & skin. Yes, I
have a new skin. It's not that I shed the old one, no, I buried it. The
thicker my new one gets the harder it is to remember the old one, but
eventually it will reach the muscles as the innermost and I will have
hyperbolic seizures while chewing on delightfully annoying caramels that
stick between the gums of generosity like eggs will break on the concretous
backs of demonstrosiusness. Or something like that. Green acres of home be
millenia of spectra away. The first time I saw green was a long time ago.
I'd have to retrace a million steps to remember it clearly. The first time
I saw blue was on the plane somewhere though, and red too, but yellow is
always close, always obvious - the half-eaten color of weaklings. Do you
suppose there are any seats left at the track? I don't gamble, I just like
watching horses because horses are powerful & stupid. Coarse & fragile
heartstrings can be plucked backwards like a cat's back and fangs be
wielded unscabbar'd for good this time.
