hyper consciouness

another realm of unabsolute truth

wherever you go
life will be taking sides
it will be upon you to decide
which side you are on.

Changing habitat was evolution's sick mantra
Can space create the effect that time cannot?
A poet's hope is in a dystopian world
where he writes and writes and writes
and his words protect him from
evil mutated, genetically engineered monsters,
large crawling technology bugs,
green, sprawling waves of nuke holocaust,
and acres of wasted land from a millennium of acid rain.

I have tried to escape through worm holes, rabbit holes, black holes
to alternate, subversive reality
to parallel universes
where happier versions of me
are taking care of cuter versions of you
and our offspring's are licking thumbs
admiring us
admiring the very reasons why they were here.

I have loved you,
I have loved vast acres of farming space
I have loved white cows and green grass
I have loved green flies sitting on blue waters
I have loved the smell of fresh dandalions on summer afternoons.

But all this love and all this hate has a special place
somewhere
where I knew to hide it,
somewhere
where I invade everyday,
somewhere
where I have zero power and utmost freedom of will,
somewhere
where I am not judged and my actions need not be undone,
somewhere
where death and life are the one and the same
somewhere
where I lived before I was born and will live after I die
somewhere in dreams
somewhere in hyper consciousness.

Ooooohhhhhh man, that was AWESOME! I absolutely loved that. I could write an essay on the little things I liked about it, but I'll spare you the time. I must point out how much I loved "worm holes, rabbit holes, black holes" though... worm holes through time, black holes through space (or whatever you want to imagine), and rabbit holes like Alice to a wacky Wonderland!

Spec-freakin-tacular, NP. I know exactly how this feels... I often imagine a far greater realm than this, and now I know the name of the practice: exploring my hyper consciousness. This is going in my favorites.

oh, this felt like a mind trip through warped universe. excellent writing and a wonderful, wonderful soliloquy. As Paul rightly said, it is a unique poem and a brilliant one at that. the sentence, "I have tried to escape through worm holes, rabbit holes, black holes to alternate, subversive reality", is one that i will remember for the rest of my life.
