Nobody can convince me my own B.S. isn't stranger than fiction.

Stranger Than Fiction


When confronted, with our own worst bullshit !

Reality Becomes Stranger Than Anyone’s Fiction!

Utilizing bogus bullshit, to decide what is bullshit!

You cannot avoid what you refuse to acknowledge.

You cannot find what you always attempt to avoid.

You cannot attack, what eludes all comprehension!

You cannot clutch, that which you refuse to touch!

You cannot own, what defies unbalanced gravity!

You cannot attack, what you cannot understand!

You cannot hear another's cries over your own!

You cannot share your heart, spouting hot air!

You cannot share your heart, never listening!

You cannot share your heart with the wind!

You can’t share your heart, by blubbering!

Without sacrificing some of the joy in life.

Without having to pay the ultimate price!

Without losing some of your self-respect!

Without missing countless opportunities.

Without sacrificing your own awareness!

Without losing some spring in your step!

Without destroying your ability to think!

Without losing, just a little more sparkle!

Without life losing some of its attraction!

Without renouncing, your own freedom!

Without abdicating your own birthright!

Without losing your own peace of mind!

Without losing a grip on the Big Picture!

Without making your personal sacrifice!

Without abandoning, those around you!

Without missing what might have been!

Without life losing, a bit more meaning!

Without life becoming, just a challenge!

Without your life losing a lot of humor!

Without viewing the world differently!

Without wondering why you still care.

For The Hook, Keeps You Coming Back!

It Doesn’t Matter What Anybody Says!

When Reality is Stranger than Fiction!

So long as they sing it with inflection;

Try to make an emotional connection!

That feels like its conveyed something,

Some greater insight or sweeping truth,

Whatever you happen to find reassuring!

Making Sense Out of Complete Nonsense!

Trying to forget the truth hurts for a reason!

Remembering to forget, why the Truth hurts!

Wondering why its so hard to find satisfaction!

Wondering if wonder, is just another nightmare!

Wondering if wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

Whenever reality has become, stranger than fiction!

An onion might make anybody alive, blubber and cry!

But, there never was a vegetable that made people laugh!

While the Worst Professional Wrestling Can Never Be Faked!

And Nobody Alive Could Ever Screw You Like A Porn Star!

(Blues Traveler, Will Rogers)



Hiding in Plain Sight



Aimless as a wave gently reborn mid-ocean,

Frozen like a deer, caught in the headlights!

Desperately searching for sanity anywhere,

Wave-amplifiers, of Earth, Wind, and Fire!

Converge As Wavy Gravy Soliton Waves!

Sparkling diamonds reaching for the sun.

Yet bedazzling, all who look upon them!

Unspeakable Wonders Hiding in Plain Sight!

Sometimes, the most humble will shine!

That much brighter outside the spotlight.

Running In Place Solitons All Stand Taller!

As mother earth, raises them to new heights!
