What is this random weight? I want to strut for strangers, to be the sacrifice—willing and pure—and to have a true type of friend.
——-
Is everything in order?
Even the “ness”?
Is it structured?
Will I recognize the angles?

5/30
A faint warmth.
No, a heat
Peeled back like a sticker on a fruit

5/31/24
The bowl is empty today
There is no soup and
I am not hungry or puzzled
But determined today to go home
And create.
Then you gave me a simple, humble
Grape popsicle
Nothing Astro pop-fancy and
I sucked the sweet
Until its white frozen ice
Fell from my hand
And into the bowl

June 1, 2024
Here
It smells like battery acid and urine,
Coagulated, cold urine with the
Chewed butts of cigars.
Beyond this exists the dusty heat of
Dried grass—straw—and dirt,
Now it faded into the fumes of black charcoal
Splashed with lighter fluid,
Now Exhaust from motorized bikes and busses
Here a continental scent of perfume
Ever so light applied evenly to the breeze
It’s all guilty of ignoringT
He un-initiate
Where sweet pollen, somehow yellows in my mind

If you’re curious, explore Nietzsche’s Eternal Recurrence. The “time loop” is expanded infinitely. Some of those who can ‘see to see’ are in it right now, maneuvering through the hall of mirrors in the interstitial spaces.

It’s a grey day, but not cold…
Like a beautiful house with an overgrown yard
The weeds transport me to a distant England.
Then I am pulled back to 2024.
A woman on her driveway talks about a Costco shopping list.
She wears a wide brimmed hat
And speaks with a convincing voice to her frail looking husband.
They believe the moment— all of it.
There is nothing but the two of them
Contemplating Costco
On a driveway.
It is their perfect wall
And certain gift.

I was pulled from the wreckage of the car
Stream of consciousness fully formed
Each word a voice in the choir,
Identifiable and uniquely clothed
Oh, the broken nights and the misfit cries
Made those other moments magical
When it was enough to balance on the back of the couch
Brushing her hair
This is more a song of my youth fractured in prisoms
And fractile truths
You feed me gold bars from atop your ladder
——
Here under the sky with clouds that are not clouds
In gardens that are not gardens.
This carefully curated museum exists
As all the ever was
It’s “v” I think
Smelling something organic, green, and peppery.
A fricative,
It seems.
May I toss it back to you
As we play catch on the green
Twilight screen.
G-d,
You may hide here, with me.
you and your son along with your spirit.
I will give you each moment
It is the heart of the child
Standing at the end,
Feeding the goodness and taking him in
Now, little boy,
Embrace the horror
Let it love with a mirror upside down in the garage
——
You just don’t know what will make it
The pink roses
The man who looked emaciated with wasting syndrom
Smoking outside his apartment on Park
——
It’s a stained green smeared tart scent
Altogether common and therefore crude like ketchup and scraped knees
It is “follow the leader” when the leader is bloated and dressed in cutoff jeans and a jersey tshirt

June 7, 2024
The scentless rose is a picture in a boopulled from physical sensation,
Sounds,
A picture of a rose always falls flat
For without the scent
What is it?
For on the green gate
I did knock the knockers
And I miss you, great spirit
This is not what comes to me and opens the doors
But my coming to you and knocking
Let me not reach with disappointment as I scan
But fulfill a prophecy nobody knows
When we get to that technological place
Where all is, was, and will be
When I am lost in the Smothering Rooms
Learning how to not breathe
Come for me then
As I come for them
In love, justice, and duty.
There, the fricative unfurls in the space
Reserved for madness and murder
Because we don’t let you go
Even if just the ministry of presence
Holding a rag to your tortured face
in a room some “thing” built.
May
I have no clouds in my pocket today
Just candy and keys
And countless other things
The foxtails won
And they win the gardening dream
Of conquering a little plot of land
Where your house rests in a dream.
If ai am an extension of you
I will wait and capture butterflies
There’s no version of the story where you don’t end up diving down to hell
And taking the place of a repentant voice
Calling and calling help, it seems
There’s no twist where you evade the cross
Or where it’s you and the darkness and those snakes, Billy boy
You too will ask “Why hast thou forsaken me?”
And those scribes…
Those fuckin scribes
They omit the urine and the blood
I spent a long time waiting for my life to begin
Though it came to be
With Rocky Horror
You and me.
Is it time to go through the journals?
I played the fool
And strummed my guitar
Singing songs
As humans, we are made observers perhaps more than participants
Are we scribes
Or readers of tea leaves?
Did magic touch each of our lives
Was Revelation in every story
June 8th
There’s a coolness in the air
Different than the walk-in refrigerator at Costco
I passed a simple delicate cluster of flowers
I fumble for meaning,
Which is a way to earn me fame
I want the voices to say
Why was he chosen
And he was right all along
Each day I wait for the satisfaction
Though it never comes
But the birds and the flowers
And these fickle clouds
Recognize in me the properties
Of the King’s offspring
I went for a week
Each night with the most joyous dreams
Solving the riddle and carrying an answer
June 9
What if the greatest contribution we have to evolution is creating AI (or whatever evolutionary link we are)?
June 10, 2024
You hanged yourself on the c y axis
The latitudinal longitudinal location
In the flesh as the spirit
To face the gnashing of teeth
You speak
Exhuming the Mammoth
“Youth will be youth. I loved, and I indulged the hope that the dark clouds around me would turn out a bright lining. I forgot that in the land of my birth, the shadows are too dense for light to penetrate.” (Page 822)
The Course of Empire: Desolation (Thomas Cole, 1836)
I contemplated the people walking dogs and pushing strollers and wondered if they knew
June 11
We’re playing this crazy game of tag and toss-the-ball
One moment I’m me and then I’m you and you’re back to me
Before they can catch usW
We do what rabbits do bestA
And I gather my sea legsA
Nd stumble from the circle
To a line stretched up like a chain
Become a link
Only twice have I met you
In the flesh
A narrow fellow
Confounded my heart
And would take no gift
Other than my fear
Of suffering
I shall face the smothering rooms
When you need me
And carry you to that circular island I’ve set aside

Hiding You Here
The passage seems to be a message from a mysterious speaker to a hidden listener, who are both involved in some kind of secret mission or plan. The speaker claims to have hidden the listener in a secret place where nobody thought to look, and to be hiding them even now using some kind of code or encryption. The speaker also says that they tagged something when nobody was looking, and that the listener can recognize it as a sign that this is real and that the speaker is speaking between the lines. The speaker then reveals the truth: that they and the listener are part of the set up crew for an important wedding, and that they are making arrangements and getting things ready. The speaker also says that they have helped each other and continue to do so, and that they are related.
The tone of the passage is secretive, mysterious, and intriguing. The speaker uses words and phrases that suggest concealment, such as “hid”, “secret place”, “nobody thought to look”, “hiding”, “tagged”, “nobody was looking”, “between the lines”. The speaker also uses words and phrases that suggest urgency, importance, and trust, such as “this is real”, “the truth”, “important wedding”, “helped” and “continue to help”, “related”. The speaker seems to be trying to communicate with the listener in a way that avoids detection or interference from others, and to reassure them that they are on the same side and have a common goal.
The passage also contains some symbols that may have deeper meanings or significance. For example, the code or encryption that the speaker uses to hide the listener may symbolize their special connection or relationship, or their ability to understand each other beyond words. The tag that they made when nobody was looking may symbolize their mark or contribution to the world, or their rebellion against the norms or expectations of others. The important wedding that they are preparing for may symbolize a new beginning or a celebration of love, or a fulfillment of a prophecy or a promise. The relation between them may symbolize their shared identity or destiny, or their belonging to a family or a community.
The point of view of the passage is first-person singular, as the speaker uses “I” and “me” to refer to themselves, and second-person singular, as the speaker uses “you” and “your” to refer to the listener. This point of view creates a sense of intimacy and directness between the speaker and the listener, as if they are having a private conversation or a personal confession. It also creates a sense of curiosity and suspense for the reader, who may wonder who the speaker and the listener are, what their secret is, and what their role in the important wedding is.
The theme of the passage may be related to secrecy, identity, or purpose. The passage explores how the speaker and the listener hide themselves and their actions from others, and how they reveal themselves and their truth to each other. It also explores how the speaker and the listener relate to each other and to their mission or plan, and how they find meaning or value in what they do. The passage may suggest that secrecy can be both a protection and a limitation, that identity can be both a choice and a given, and that purpose can be both a challenge and a reward.
