No Naming

No Naming

A Chapter by Leap

Antsy

She leaves with nothing in her pockets

I make up this music when I shock her to a stop

No thoughts of her shaking

Now I'm shaking

I can't stop

And baby

Now that we're shaking, the thrill won't stop, will it?

Too antsy to answer me?

 

 

Sweet Orange, Blue Moon

If you were to come to me

You would see my face as mine has come to be

Just stay away from my arm's length

I won't latch to nothing without a place to stay

You are not the one amused

I'd say I'd give anything, but you can see my circuits and the lies built in me

You give me a bad case of the soliloquies, but burned into my arms are mantras silent to me

You're still not the one amused

Today I'd give all I am and say anything 'cause I know today is the day you can say it all back to me.

You've never been the one amused

I've always been the only one amused by you

 

 

Bullets and Blossoms

Anymore

I think about my trips to the city taking longer and longer as my days keep growing thin

A neighbor's body lay on pavement in front of the church

His death pleads with mine to remember how to know where I'm going

Will anyone show me?

No

Bring a gas mask

I can lead you to a noxious invention filled with sword-play, murder and indecent exposure, my friend

Through the bullets and blossoms

I need you to keep your composure, and into warnings, they will depict us with the best of intentions

Will anyone notice?

Will anyone save us?

My friends?

No

 

 

Hook, Line and Sinker

Too bad they found me and cut the silence from my throat

They may not want to wait

Good thing they found me after everything I've done, but they're way too late

Pass me something to read

Passing bad-timing to me

So soon they found me and heard such violence from my mouth

They may start a runnin'

Hello

You found me

After everywhere you've been...now here you come

An Experiment with Symmetrical Repetition

 There's a man in a tux standing in the doorway. His eyes have popped out of his head on to strings. He seems to have lost his face. It's gone missing and his tongue is numb and flopping itself out. Nice, white teeth. He fits in these shiny, black shoes, who give him strength and balance so he can lean on the door-frame with one shoe tilted on its toes. It's a stylistic kind of thing. His hands rest like sedated bunnies in his pockets. There's a light on in the hallway behind him, but the room being occupied is in a dead-spaced black. Both the room and its accompanying hallway share stained wood floors. The ceiling and walls show themselves and remind the man of eggnog cream. Of course these details could be assumed. The man can't quite see past the threshold of the two neighboring arenas. Involuntarily, he begins to shift across it. He tries to remain between the dimensions of the stained wood floors and eggnog cream walls, but the ceiling is giving him problems. He wants to demonstrate how hallways will look the same from a perspective unknown until now. But the question still arises: why is there a doorway in the middle of this tunnel? The textures change because of the light remaining on in there, resting behind him and casting no shadows. In a dead-spaced blackness, his curiosity appeals to the anti-matter within his vicinity. To his unique surprise, the once-sedated bunnies in his pockets bounce themselves out in the spur of the moment. They land with a thump atop of the man's unstable footing (tilted up on its toes). The first shoe to go is shiny and black just like its twin. They hold a glimmer even as they crumble along with the leaning statue they belong to. This statue's nice, white teeth go flying while his tongue smacks the floor. At least it's not numb anymore. Down there, he finds his face but isn't sure enough if he likes what he sees. Too little too late -- it looks too different anyway; all spread apart like this. This may have something to do with his sight and the broken angles of his eyes on their worthless strings attached. Yet, from this remarkable angle, he can adjust his current geometry to a vision transcendent and broad only to make out a man in a tux standing in the doorway.

 

 

Apocalyptic Drunk Talk

The coffee from the jungle is left on temple grounds

Provides a resource for the rest

After everything is gone and there's nothing left but the pyramids and long, lost loves of all sentiment

The myriad will impede upon the blatant blinding myths

And fire blankets all of where the icing might have been

The planets, in their places, will go end on heavy end

And what's precious to our spectators will forever be eternalized

What images of elevation can I begin to fantasize?

 

 

Of Eccentricity

Stay awake
You said it in front of the mirror
You said it in front of the man
You said it embodied the feeling
Instead of the body you live in
You said it embodied the ending
Instead of the body you live in
You married the ghosts of your women
In bed with the blood in the linens
You laid in old thoughts of your women
They bled out like bodies of water when you said it front of the mirror
Wake up
Who am I?

 

 

And In the Loft

And I see your hands upon the window and your head above the rain

And I ask for my cigarette back

Please?

But you tell me, "I'm not done with its taste, Love."

And you're kind to me until you notice this one, simple fact

Then you're mean to me until you're kind

It's about time for me to kick you out into my abyss, but I've just grown far too comfortable with your taste

"You were meant to keep me in my place, Love."

 

 

Listen To Myself

I will leave the note on our bedside table

In the event of your return, I pray you leave behind another infamous signature

Dear me,

Love,

You

 

 

HI-LITER Philosophy

Looking forward into the coldest reaches of some summers

A frown on the face of all seasons

And no new school of thought can be embraced by the business men of traffic blaring their horns in the    fore-ground

              then they blame the lack of love for music on deaf industries

No carcasses in the high-tide, but hovering above

I know angels can manifest themselves in so many awful ways

In as many as any awkward ideas can be shot to death and mourned by their very own firing-squad while a

                             native band plays to the triumph of a downfall

Got to watch it all go down on film before the whole thing is really able to sink in

And the time on our hands will read to us

And the elder truths will come about

And the continents shall shift

And the fame beats all

And reason removed-  -  - -

Even in the horizon as priceless as you think you are

As an empty friend of god

        as good as any friend can be

Aside from whatever else is sturdy enough to halt beneath your knees, take home with you what music you

              came with

And this time next year, you will be writhing on the walls with no one to write you into history

What do you want me to say?

This is enough

 

 

A Notion of Not-so-much Respect In A Classroom Filled Up With the Blandest of

                  Peers

Start debates over the least important aspect of an issue.

Bring up one, solid point of little interest or moral responsibility or even relevance to the overall subject of

                 conversation.

Act passionately, and introduce validity; it's bullshit, but you're quick on the draw.

Find a way to knock-off any reference you can as a gift for those who can't hide their doughy eyes from yours

Let people interact.

Heat them up.

Start them spinning in their seats.

Bloody their noses and watch the regression occur.

Echo their primal speech as best you can until the voicings in the room slip back into an infantile state of

    communication.

Now floor it!

Bring down their walls and go right ahead and collapse their ceiling.

Keep it safe above their heads...for a bit

Protect them from their damages and rescue them from rationality.

R     E    T   R  A CTLE T  L   O    S     E     R     E    T   R  A CTLE T  L   O    S     E

Bl_nk along their rhythm

Gather every palpitation working out the room and sit back to enjoy it and let it fly off its hinges.

In this you may learn to play the roll of god.

 

 

One More Post-script:

You're speaking out of two sides of your mouth

Do you make the clouds move too?

Is that just the wind?

Good night love

Goodnight

I'm taken

Blending

               P.S

                        P.S.

                                  P.S.

                                                      P.S. you're speaking out of two sides of your mouth.

 

 

Skool In 3 Pgs.

      !

               General Animosity!

               Several factors in points of influence!

               In mind!

               Motive for the "kill or be killed mentality!"

               Insisting private right!

               Authority of something called...god!

               Intent on the restraint of Evil on Earth!

               Apply this today!

               No older than the olden days!

               But young in the eyes of young!

               Clowning around with the greatest sin!

               Then it was assumed!

               Permitted or commanded!

               Praised!

               No bearing on human morality!

               Instead, rely on plausible insanity!

      ?

               Did it give rise?

               Single person or persons?

               Is it a delusional right to commit it to a memory?

               Is it a scape-goat?

               Does it have the ability to ease...?

               Can it be part of an alienated, collective consciousness or only the conscience of one?

               Will it be touched on later?

               Today?

               See the power?

               See me in control?

               See me under the influence?

               Am I part of any moral system yet, and how much would that matter?

               Am I a fanatical modernist or an ancient traditionalist?

               Can you tell me?

               What do I desire?

               What do I call divinity?

               What true cause do I have to ask these questions?

               Could it be simple reasoning?

               A purpose?

               An explanation for all that needs to be explained?

               Can it work for them?

               Passion?

               Do I have passion?

               How much can I bug you before I turn out almost viral?

               Which plans are the right ones to follow?

      .

               Power and opportunity can perform well enough to pose the question as a fact.

               The end always justifies the means.

               Fundamentalism can provide an open door to consequence.

               Desensitization has finally arrived.

               Through forms of media interference and propaganda and social deconstruction.

               All empathy slides away into the sewers to, in turn, allow the flood of apathy a multiplication of

                           all shapes and sizes and chemistries.

   In the seizure of the moment, they feel it soak everything.

               By every channel.

               Every set of eyes find themselves welcomed to it.

               They can't help themselves.

               The devil feels it's crucial to cave and debut his careful campaign.

               Once enough sensation has developed, an acquired taste for diluted societies will pass to the rest of us.

               A nationalistic society at its best and brightest.

               People will believe what they are told.

               They could be the moral of the story.

               They love the one who tells them, 'this shall be god or god shall be dead...'

               ...Maybe just a pragmatic man in a striped suit and tie is quite enough explanation!?.

 

 

Short Prose In Love

Your vast interpretation of life beyond your eyes conforms with little effort into what you might see as mine

And as delicate as you are, you still find the way to keep it to yourself

Solely as your own

Bat-s**t crazy as a novice to the sublimexoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

"You give me a bad case of the soliloquies, but burned into my arms are mantras silent to me". That line is brilliant, my friend. "Conducting Violence" is amazing. It was like watching a scene unfold through a strobe light. The things you put in and the words you decided to leave out, all brilliant. Well done, my friend. "Listen To Myself" is simple but amazing. The message you're able to pour into such a tight space is incredible. And the last one is such a good one to go out on. Very Jim Carroll-ish. I loved all of it, man. Why has it taken me so long to get to these? Finally, an explanation for what you're up to at 4 in the morning, editing and cropping. It paid off.

I loved 'Sweet Orange Inside the Blue Moon' the feel on it is so smooth. "What images of elevation can I begin to fantasize?" are my very favorite lines. The very last piece is perfect and oh so lovely.
