Self Loathing

hey mr rubber spoon, we perceive not as it is. . . but as we are

so if i wanted to kill myself i'd jump off your ego straight onto your iq

right after i pretended to bend spoons

and if i said even a single syllable

     with your mouth

i would taste feces 

bacon and the Talmud

     may shame become you

and joe rogan be disappointed

isolation tanks are the shit

Your avant-garde (that is what you're aiming for, right? Hahah) sense of style is truly remarkable. A postmodern kind of awareness rare in the small circle of people that calls themselves poets. I have to confess: i did have to look up Joe Rogan to understand the final line, but this is fantastic. I can definitely tell that this will go over the heads of the masses, but that's okay. Not everyone is going to stand in front of a painting at the Louvre or the Met and fall in love with it; only the select few that can will love it.

You smoke too much weed.

[Charles Anthony Almanza]

I actually don't smoke any weed fyi. A simple 'thank you' will do next time I hope.

[Davidgeo]

I will reply how I reply... there is no need for you to give suggestions. Some might even call that presumptuous.

[Davidgeo]

You should smoke some weed.

[Charles Anthony Almanza]

I'd think assuming someone smokes too much weed is more presumptuous than asking for common courtesy though wouldn't you think?

[Davidgeo]

So... wanna get high sometime then?

[Charles Anthony Almanza]

Answer my 'read request' and then we'll figure out the details hahah

[Davidgeo]

Are you a pirate?

[Charles Anthony Almanza]

I'm a lover not a fighter.

[Davidgeo]

Are you threatening me?

[Charles Anthony Almanza]

Jesus, no, what are you talking about? How does that even sound like a threat?!

[Davidgeo]

E.
ps thanks for the chuckles reading your featured review ... please don't hit me ...i never heard of Joe Rogan ....unless he invented hair growth for men :)

[Davidgeo]

I'm really only here for the laughs and gaffes; i'm rarely very serious. Glad I could entertain. Aloha snackbar!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha Aloha

well, yes, to see the truth and to actually be the truth are two separate sides of the coin, on allows you to jump in and return to bask in the everywhen, the other is just the facade that it looks like ...

nicely portrayed X

[Davidgeo]

The coin/truth analogy reminds me of Heisenberg's uncertainty jibber jabber. Reality breaks down with too much nuance, eventually you must define either place or motion. . . never both precisely; time would have to stop.

[KWP]

very true ... what to choose? ... but then again going back to the jibber jabber theory ...both side of the coin can be dancing the same jig but which one to search for, now thats the question?

[Davidgeo]

I would have said "which one will I find"... instead of..."which will I search for". There's too much to really know what to specifically want until you find some of it. I'm pretty stoned right now so it's very possible none of this made sense. (too lazy to check)

[KWP]

hahahaha actually I must be caught up on your inhale ... I get it ... you make me laugh ... I like that ... that's an interesting thought in itself though

'There's too much to really know what to specifically want until you find some of it.'

Man I could meditate that into eternity ... enjoy the haze X
