Cartoon Heaven and Hell

"Bugs can never die" refers to the Quantum Zeno Effect, in which a watched pot of entangled quanta will never boil, and the poem describes space-time as emerging from the collective unconscious.

Cartoon Heaven and Hell

Homogenized cartoon heaven and hell,

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy Ren and Stimpy!

Liquid Crystallized Quasi Cartoon Reality!

The roaring silence become deafening again.

Bugs can never die, until you turn the TV off!

Willie Coyote can never catch Road Runner:

Whilst Tweety Bird, is the irresistible force!

Ask Not What Reality Might Do For You!

But, What Has Reality Ever Done For Anyone?

Everywhere you go there you are while,

If you don’t know where you’re going!

In reality you might already be there!

Bereft all possible reliable memories,
Everything, is deja vu all over again!

Where The Wild Things Love To All Dance In Circle Jerks!

Climbing A Mountain, On The Dark Side Of The Moon!

Reality without dreams is just somebody’s nightmare!

And dreams bereft all reality, are everyone’s fantasy.

Still there’s just no place like home for the holidays.

Lost somewhere deep, within the memory of God.

Down a way none has dared boldly gone before.

Way far out, past the Pan and all the Lost Boys.

Lost Inside Never-Never-Never-Again-Land!

Feels Like Stepping Into The Twilight Zone!

Down a strange rabbit hole to a Wonderland!

Where a tornado carries you over the rainbow!

Just follow the one and only, Yellow Brick Road!

And you’ll make great new friends along the way!

Hand in hand you can skip down the road together!

Knowing ignorant virtue is often its own best reward,

Knowing ignorant wisdom is naively knowing nothing.

Only the genuinely ignorant laugh at just about anything!

Sometimes even laughing at one another’s foolish laughter!

Laughing at yourself as if you didn’t have a care in the world,

Laughing all the more hysterically at your own inane stupidity!

Laughing hysterically, about even the stupidest crap imaginable!

Laughing at the hysterical sound of one another’s asinine laughter!

Knowing you’re either smarter than a chicken, or you are the chicken!

Honesty is only a lonely word, when complete idiots charge by the word!

Rainbows of Beautiful Words echo forever, laughing, lilting in the distance!

(Looney Toons, Maurice Sendek)
