Karma, My Bipolar Friend

Karma, My Bipolar Friend

A Poem by Miles

Run, run, you donkey
Tumbleweeds and failing bats
You missed out
The flails and fisticuffs are all gone
Just come downstairs and have some coffee

I would've warned them all
But Jimmy, here, wanted a steak out
So, plainly, I led him though the catacombs
I felt my pistol but I forgot to feed my cat

Jokers, please, we don't want any stoners
Bring down the curtain 
And wipe those windows clean
This is full factual
I want this meat lean

I'm here for a pleasant convo
Though I may leave you astray
These words so hidden, so subjective
If only you'd just listen...

Listen closely to the sound of my voice
Don't interpet, just understand
As the wavelengths strike your ears in strands
Vibrations carrying overtures of wisdom
Awareness and existence

Please just let me finish painting this flagpole
It isn't the ant hill's time to beg for their morrow
I will deny their fruitless encantations
Just quench me with a Coke or a 7-Up

Hurry! These teeth are gritty
Harshly grinding
Mario, Luigi, and Peach
All between the gears
Stuck in time and space and agony
The shredding white noise overtaking

How much suffering must ensue?
Before these embarassing black circles
No longer resonate
Hateful tastes for habitual wastes
Of time, the one that is mine
How much, I beg of you?!

How deep does this black hole go?
How high will it throw me when I find my presence?
My inner patience
This essence of frugality and safe lasting
Certainly an atypical caricature of what could be

It doesn't seem too far away
And I know, that I'll know
That all this was for me, by me
Forever remembered as part of this lunacy
Once reprimanded on the basis of recklessness
Now harboured as a means to contentment

For as one may desire a greater emotion,
The fallback is twice it's intention
Sorrowful it may seem, 
But Karma always knows when to begin again

Karma, my bipolar friend
Can't you just find your balance?
Ahh, not the question, I see
For you are the balance, in all its extremities

The Golden Mean of the silver stream
I can feel it in every action
Every taste, every location
You are the true Illuminati

Karma, my bipolar friend,
I wish you had a cell phone
The plants and the wind don't know me well enough
And the animals seem too stubborn
To evoke such prophetic epithets
In a manner comprehensible in the English language
