I live life in phases,
I like fresh starts
when i hold out my hand to the flapping mouth made circles out of
zimbabwe lampshades
and hold hand me downs on their land and their bodies
things get for a moment worse
god damn go away noise, and leave me in the shade
The masters came to tell me im awake, and i have to mop the floor
and that i also have to go to school on monday
Text books closed and sold back
the pen in my hand does all the talking
would whats inside of me be enough to forever fill my future with experience
could whats already in here churn out different events
forever
one after the other
other after the one
I want more choices
not one or the other, all or none
or even some
but a choice I have not yet understood and cannot now comprehend
that would twist my mind like roots of the general sherman tree
like the spiral shaped bacteria that has been killing me
it would send me south and keep me searching
but the answers would be in reach
and it wouldn’t be 2+2 or 3+1
which both equal 4, but you already knew that, it’s a common earthly fact
which is why it would not be in my new collection of choices
a toychest of mind treasures made deep by the sunken sea
our minds would make friends with the rest of ourselves and start sailing
we would leave gilligans isle, we would triumph over the others
we would not have a commune but a community
people would not have lives but would live lives
and america would not be free the whole world would be
so speak out your humble truth, but be ware it has side effects
law of unintended consequenses and 1st ammendment fences
I cannot say something that you don’t already know
because the law of limitless has passed its time in your soul
