Sleep Prone/ Heart NarcolepsyA Chapter by Jim W WhiteRandom, 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. 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.
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. 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. © 2008 Jim W White |
