Hither Before

write please read and enjoy

Lowered head in rev-erence

temples parallel; glowering indiff-erence

para bellum, Christ the parable, in ref-erence

retire the snake of hissing variety, silence in sev-erance

Hair afire hallways like neural pathways light up

all wire sending out in wild directions all at once

sup of your world that grows and grows, your cup

that overflows, the discovery of endless everything

it is numbness, exponentially you cannot progress

the desires to experience more than your wildest dreams

are already met and beyond, so far so you stand

inconsequential to the world as a naked baby, screaming

Until now

what changes and allows

these sleepless to hallucinate

a wavelength of truth, that might elucidate

calm frantic tides and wake the willfully sedate

ill-comprehended minds see power, they clear their plate

appetites expand past their ambitions, shortcomings their idle banquets flip and negate

boisterous fantasy fiddles romantically off the tongue and vocal chords, stories of fate

believe enough and one can afford that talk is cheap and stories are dark bargains, they needn't illuminate

therefore setting forth an economy where words are free, words like "love" and "hate"

swinging as surely as the scythe of Spring over Winter, her sunshine and flowers all promising to pollinate

what there in the recesses and comfort and cold, finds the odd time to be happy, now she comes to terminate

does great or no care go into the small and the most alive of things, for does time itself not have a one hundred percent mortality rate?

until now there is so much that needs no understanding

everyone wants to plant their foot on the chest

but who props up the rock when settlers are landing?

Where do the denizens of nonsense go to rest?

All nonsense is sense that hasn't been made yet

and all sense is a stream of logic someone can drink

for some it's too bitter, too sweet, or they'd rather forget

for other it's just easier to take it in stride, helps one to think

but no one can own all the unknown, else fear might go extinct.
