Sleep Prone/ Heart Narcolepsy

Sleep Prone/ Heart Narcolepsy

A Chapter by Jim W White
"

Random, abstract, twisty internal commentary. About (claustraphobic) village and (soul-crushingly monotonous jobs). A bit of hiccup philosophy.

"

I’m lying in the street. Can feel the heat that would pulsate. Can feel the beat mandate that rattles through everything. It’s in time with my ipod [I mean heart]. But vehicles are oblivious and there’s people delirious and they’ve places to get. They let me know the importance of the rendez-vous. They tell me clearly and monosyllabic. They indicate/elaborate with lights and horns and screaming engines.
And waking in the morning I remove a tyre track from my back –I take off my shirt. A fresh one makes me another undercover me –this skin keeping in automaton with cash-flow cravings. This one is a lover of repetition and a brother to faceless uniforms.
 

Inside [right inside] there’s a storm. Outside there’s a malnourished and eager conformity but the free-range [strangest of] mind over-rides even as the body goes through the motions.
The given notion is one of appeasement, short-circuit/ frequent and easy. And cheap? Preferably.

 

Once more; I’m lying down. I’m drowning in landslide visions of greed and waste and their [our] child-like distaste. It takes a day or three of misery for me to crawl free but it’s a breeze.
Lay beneath a rickety dining table, it shouldn’t be easy to watch heathens feed. But I breathe steady and through my mouth/ pinch nose and close eyes and know that I don’t belong. I feel the will to be gone. Say: “I can never step wrong if my heart’s fixed” [but bear in mind the blindside tricks and the soundlessness of a breaking heart].
I realise and observe, sadly [growing more madly]; we grind for the prize. We find comfort in eventuality and eventuality in the endlessness of searching.
 

Some might end up hurting and hot-headed –vexing for singularity. Some others might end up groping for shiny things. I think I’m somewhere in-between, being showered with spilled grease and cow pieces and insults and spittle. My pockets are swollen with I.O.Us.

 

Not lying down any longer, I would trek across a rotten sitcom village. Things will fall away that could weigh the world. They could weigh more than that and I wouldn’t bend. You need a hard back and a platinum mind and blind-luck and often.

And one more mouthful: to unwind, find a green room for equilibrium to blaze the night. Sigh/ shutdown your eyes and once again lie down.
