somewhere sane (or it's all the same train, man)
By apophenia
losing ground i never realized i'd gained until it was canyons deep below,
words erroding like steady water dripping and conversations are merely
noise to take up space ... lines to believe in something ... days to confuse
the years, clocks to categorize emptiness ... fix this it's broken when
it's not together ...
i drank from a fountain a few days
ago and it's green tinted mouth reminded me of a decaying orifice, pursing
out of porcelain: it's lie of clarity and ease of subsistence evermore
an insult to injury ... there's no warm skin or blushing warm brook to
heed my inner romanticism in ... it's hard and cold, a rubber nipple from
an unyeilding plastic bottle ... a mother's hurried substitution for contact
and affection ... again this sterility reminds me of my childhood television
babysitter ... mommy pay attention to me ... i want your words in my head,
not ronald mcdonald's and a herion dream of a mouse named mickey
we named our dog after that horrid cartoon rodent
i need to leave here, but the nagging questions of pragmatism make fertile
fields of unknown frontiers desolate and grasp me by the pubic hairs, screeching
at my libido that it was only molecules moving anyway ... no money, no
free time, no one interesting enough to call that can ... yes, i am prime
for a good needy meaningless fuck to split this widening abyss of a blue
collar life a little deeper
maybe some african tribe will
take me in as a long lost albino human puppy ... pet her and she squeeks
and wines like a newborn with pink skin and blind as a brat ...
i've been told i look african and i have an african name minus one "n"
/ i always despised personal redundancy ... sorta like my initials AMS
one and only one letter away from being a complete ASS ... these lips curl
over in abundance and these features are plump and spread in that particular
widening of the skull and nostril and eyelid stretch, except for the whole
blond haired/blued-eyed visual, a stereotypical blasphemy to my personality
in any case. i like to exploit it when i can all the same (the stereotype,
i mean) ... beauty is for sale and i am sooooo, sooo tired of fighting
myself, the inevitable within any self ... using principle and chastity
to sterilize this beauty disease because i do not want to give in to the
decadence i could so easily dip my fingers into, or not because personal
integrity is a prison in itself ... as i've said humanity here is at a
point where it is only fighting against itself and i am not as original
or separate as i'd like to entertain my ego to believe ... i'm just more
bothered than most ...
fuck adam and his orginal sin
bullshit, too, his snakeskin is uncoiling ... i'm left with only sexual
suppression, a tongue flicker of interest ... as in, he's like food to
me now and i'm free of my past inhibitions, cautious hesitations that this
might have been, you know, "something of significance" ... principle is
a rape victim thrown helplessly on the wayside of this interstate highway
of human need ... substantiation seems like an illusion evermore everyday
... i wanted to care but it seems a useless effort more and more and i'm
still left with this ache in my chest for something more from people ...
would you care for once past obligation and needy fumblings to cool the
heat of past apparitions: ghosts with swinging talons ... my glaring self-sustained
empathy a carrion for the vultures of life's empty promises ... caring
must be mutual or it only turns into expendibility and support systems
... myself would rather be entertained with myself's own conversational
antics ... playing guitar has been refreshingly self-indulgent as well
... i had my taste with self-destruction and "the boy of my delusional
dreams" phase ... please offer something else, thank you ... commonalities
are boring, perfection is boring, you are boring ...
i hate
to be "adored for what i merely represent to you."
i hate
being able to see through people, yet being fearful enough of their actions
and my own to be constantly guarded as well ... this hyper-sensitive vision
is crippling ... it just makes me an exclusive, sensitive fuckhead ...
walking away as the sirens in my head go off ... everyone's an island on
to themselves and i'm still swimming to reach the main continent ... hopefully
someone will lend me a hand soon, feed me speared fish, while telling me,
grunting and sniffing in an endearingly genuine, intelligent-enough-to-not-give-a-fuck-about-how-you-smell-in-the-morning
kind of comaraderie, "well, me dear, was that swim a good pounding for
you. you'll appreciate this home much better now when you find it."
