This Time

This time when everyone is jolly
is so very cold 
to more than my bones

This time when I see happy shadows
reflected off colorful strings of light
turns my own into the mush it wants to become

This time has always been the same
even when surrounded with those who truly care
my heart has always felt disdain for this wonderful time of the year

This time and that one too
they come happily holding hands 
all i do is sit and watch

For nothing moves me on this time
aside from a few films and the odd treat
gifts come wrapped with more than shinny paper

sentiments hidden and unspoken
wrap around these things we distribute
we fruitlessly hope to make amends 

By buying things
we try to buy love
and when it doesn't work

We are encouraged to buy some more
to be traded and handed 
in a stock market exchange

For the White Hawk

On the steaming earth of the red desert, a pair of weary feet prance a painful dance of spreading light. The luminous seeding feet belong to a being who is in the earth, yet not of it. White Hawk Angel. Has been walking for two decades or so. The body-vehicle given to him had to adapt to his incredible light, it enlarged and molded to the force of spirit emanating from his core. The result of this effort has left him with a musical wrist, movable knees, a very tall complexion and a malleable face that contorts to perform.
Laughter and song are the seeds he prefers to plant on this particular walk.
As with many other light spreaders, this particularly luminous being has encountered steep physical difficulties. Misunderstanding and addictions have plagued his sphere of being without warning. The good fight isn't good to the good fighters, and they all know this prior to the battle.
As he lifts the heads of those that listen to him, his spirit, his ultimate and eternal essence grows and expands, and this effect is highly contagious.
His path is shielded from the hidden side lines, he is always taken care of and there are forces that are making sure he stays on this plane until there is a change.
My encounter with him keeps replaying itself on the screen of my thoughts. The laughs shared and the brave condition to laugh at the difficulties and just keep on going, are the probably the two biggest gifts i received from this Angel.
May you live well and prosper in love and gratitude forever, my dear Gavin.
Can't wait to see you again.

Tenaciously yours,

Nico. "little red hawk"

when they come
we will see
when they come
more will beam
when they come
the ostrich will run against the wind
when they come
the clouds shall part
when they come
areas will not be forged
homes will not be lost
pain will not be painted
over the faces
or the hedges
when they come
and they tell you they've been here
all along
you will say
'ahh, it felt like you were'

food
for
thought.

These Blunders...

     are like fertilizers for this soul

Sunday, October 17, 2010

thick air

im not too good at this life thing
i should have the hang of it by now
but i don't
i keep getting by with the bare minimum
with just enough to make it through
and then again sometimes
just enough doesn't feel quite right
just enough doesn't keep people by your side
ah
im tired of just enough
im sad that 'it's just enough'

load of crap
just enough

words

my words are stuck in a dam
high up above the hills
they grow cold
 they shiver
as the moon waxes 
they loose magic
they cry 
for a way out
and Mr. earthquake 
hears them
he unleashes
one of his renowned shakes of fluff
opening the dam like a clam
my words now 
freely, flow down 
pouring into the towns
imposing 
that dryness of language 
is no longer the norm
people's linguistic pipes 
are unclogged
words now run through the streets 
causing merry havoc
lifting skirts of impatience and anticipation
showing glimpses of what they can not describe
my words 
they cascade until the cascading's caput is cut
then they rest
the lazy river, they join
undulating liquid snake
all the way
to the brink of river-ness
to the birth of endless
to the big wide blue
oceanic words 
my words become
ever changing this fickle words
they keep me going these humless words

the 3 10's

time to make a change
today is special
so go outside
and breathe
love
into the atmosphere
make it grow
this love bubble of ours

today facebook stole 39% of my soul, and i ate two bowls of cereal . .

.
.

the rest of my time was divided between procrastination and contemplation

the plant of my day never saw the sunlight
only until the darkness fell
did my day want to begin
and even as i got ready
i felt heavy with complacency and indifference
the world's tentacles made it to my room
and i was not ready for those huge suction cups

i had to break a window
to lured the squirmy tentacles away
with the music from my accordion
they followed dancing until the ocean
was reached (just as they reached my house, the little bastards)
and they were home
the squid they belonged to was evidently distressed
the sight of his precious tentacles made him squirt a squidish smile

the road back intended to be mysterious and challenging
but my trusty accordion persuaded it
with smoky smoothness
to pretend it was summer and to forget all about the clock

with the night warm as a hug
i made it back
in literally
no time

after cleaning the glass
sleep was wonderful
except
i had this crazy dream
about the world
and it

was controlled by silly men

and their ocean was bleeding

and they didn't do a damn thing

and then i woke up.

Sunday

what is it about you day?
the problems you bring seem to be toppling over the top of my patience
yet you find ways to show me the power I have to change the stresses

did you plan all of this since we invented you, day?
did you plot against me?
when did you decide that it was cool to throw these people i didn't want to see right in front of me, when did you calculate exactly what it would take for my love to faint?
is someone paying you day?
could you really be that greedy? and what would you do with your earnings any way, you've spent yourself being mischievous and now you're almost over.

i have but one simple plea
talk to the night, yes the one right behind you
and please tell her to be soft and kind.

chaos


Chaos poofs into my life
through the invisible road of seven parts
it poofs and it squishes left-over beliefs
winking a smile
as if daring the confused part of me.

I am ready
to stop living in a corporate world
so bring on the dancing
i will crush the malice
growing within the walls of your brain
the walls shaken by these rainless thunders
by this chaotic weather

Attempts to change reality with letters
Mr. Robbins had it right, language IS everything
today
will be the first

active
chaos
come

ctvhsm
t s
v h
h v
s t
mshvtc


please lift me out of this stagnant rut
propel my spirit
give it some charge
bring in the change
abandon the chase
of tasting the chaste
this life is a paradox
expectations
are lead-less
harbor nothing

use everything
belief is a tool
and i just found the handle
let the music begin

and most importantly of all

don't take the world so seriously

peeple of ze wurrld relax!

AND




And how the ring sits inside the ear
And how it bounces back and forth as black-flagged concert child
And it's amazing how the moods fluctuate according to the timings
And unbelievable how tightly the feelings hold on to these nimble rings
And this music how it fuels its inhabitants and their world
And paired with smell these incessant rings go all the way to the past
And with such ease we are put back in forgotten places
And the memories that are revived from their lengthy slumber
And the thoughts being fabricated at this moment to be retrieved in the future
And how long will it be
And will this love for music ever subside?
And where will the answers come from?
And and and
And that's all

Psittacidae


funk
spunk
clunk
chug
hug

words and their secret power
play peek-a-boo with my sentiments
they flutter and mutter among themselves the secret truths of the all
then capriciously
they migrate my way
by the time they reach my brain's ear
the secrets have burrowed themselves again
into cultural and personal mud
they remain hidden from me
but not from the parrots
no no no
they know
they bask in the know
they fly powered by the power of know
their colors come from knowing
.
so i set on an adventure
the sole goal
enamor a parrot
with wit and charm
then coax it into releasing the secrets
un-muddied and fresh
into my hungry ears
.
the parrot, i found
the enamoring was done
the coaxing peeled away the information as intended
by the time it landed in my sound receptacles
the implications of such knowledge
had plowed their way into my knowing eye
i was able to see
behind all the mason bricks of reality
with a clarity so incandescent that it almost blinded me
but alas the malign implications...
they impeded my relating of what i saw
in fact they replaced the lucidly brilliant images of the truth's truth
with an image
this image is the only thing i am allowed to share
i was assured that this image carries all the knowledge i was privy to
and that all that set eyes upon it
would at some level
feel, understand, and assimilate
the perennial knowl-edge
the image
sits atop this account.

para lore [en inglish]

look above
look below
look behind
look around

what you see is in fact
what you get
..
what you see
will last
as much as a sand castle
on the side of the freeway

things will change
because you will change
and that is inevitable

sometimes what is around
doesn't foster good feelings

sometimes all we do is work
and live
and eat
and pee
and blink
and drive
and sleep
and
we forget
how wonderful all of it is

the reminder comes
sometimes late
but it always shows up

those windows to your soul
so blue and infinite majestic and deep
keep them open
that is all you have to do

i wish i could do more
than write simple words

i wish i could illuminate your surroundings
i wish i could make you taste the sweet nectar of being human
that has always belonged to you
i wish i could show you exactly how amazing and beautiful you are
i wish i had it all
just to give
it to
you
.............................................................
animals
will
be your guides

they will protect you
from the wild humanity
grazing this nasty asphalt

they will give you all of their love
because they know nothing more
and they, better than me
can show you
just how wonderful
all of it is.

continue

forge ahead my friend
simply keep threading this invisible current that rules your life
stopping at any moment will inevitably affect you
you will be enveloped with the flow
you will belong to it
and it will do with your life as it pleases

when we find ourselves in this state of inertia
the flow tends to push us toward places
that exist within each of us
places that we try to avoid
the flow wants us to go there and untie the knots we created
while we tried to escape ourselves

if the knots become too numerous
their weight increases
and threading becomes extremely difficult
escaping oneself is tricky business
for in this context escape
can lead
directly to entrapment
and sinking...
nobody likes sinking

one extremity at a time
but taking no extremes
let's attempt once more
to gravitate upward
and feel the lively
wind of change
pushing
against
our
face
and
soul
let's
let's
let's
let
it
be.

attempt [s]

i try to write
for you and for me and for the soul of the world
i try to write
about things and people and events that seem important to our growth
i try to write
when the moon is high and when the sun is low
when the stars are born and when the grass grows
i try and try
and only when i try does it really happen
but then
for some unknown reason i stop trying
and i sit back
and i read my attempts and sometimes i think they aren't too great
some other times i think they should be required reading for all students
then i come back to reality
and i try to bend it and re-shape it with the chisel of my thought and the rock of my sentence
i chip away

i tell you to breathe

even though i forget to
sometimes
...
imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now took a deep breath at exactly the same moment
imagine
the rolling wave of peace
imagine the ozone being cleaned by our own lungs

imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now
decided to hum
long and uninterrupted
it would be so very loud
that maybe we wouldn't be able to hear our bad thoughts anymore

imagine what would happen if all the people alive in the world right now
started caring about one another
imagine how that would feel
feel how that would imagine
itself
into
existence

Spoken chant

the inspiration of the poet has sailed away in a giant floating leaf
searching for ports more apt than this one
it is now looking for an open hand
for a free quill

"you wont find it here" i tell it
"i like to type my stuff, you capricious inspiration!"
and then i add
"plus who in the world uses a quill anymore?"
...a poet's inspiration can be romantically unrealistic

"it sounded good" you shout across the paper
and i can't refute
"look for an open keyboard! you may have more luck" says me -the desperate techno poet
waiting for a little nugget of literary goodness
"oh keyboards are so impersonal and limited"
and then
the pirate poet's-inspiration adds
"what if you wanted to draw next to your poem, inside it, over it, then what would you do with your precious little keyboard?"

i quickly realize that this maritime outlaw is quite witty
so i dash for the paper and the pen, i'm afraid this will end through other means
more agreeable to the poet's inspiration

but don't worry my worthy reader
i shall quench your poetry thirst with words that will prove to be much more vivacious than mine

here is
the genius
of
Dame
Edith Sitwell

POETRY
Enobles the heart and the eyes,
and unveils the meaning of all things
upon which the heart and the eyes dwell.
It discovers the secret rays of the universe,
and restores to us forgotten paradises.



good night

crocodile crocodile
beginner of starters
ancient snake 2.o

stiff and rough
yet swift and buff
nobody can mess with you crocodile

they don't know that you carry the original mud on your back
that you thread the first waters to create the last
they don't know about you crocodile

they pretend not to see you crocodile
they look the other way, and you are not entirely innocent of this
you scare the sweat out of them

for that is your role crocodile
to get people running out of the stagnant waters
where they would become mossy and slimy

you get the square rolling crocodile
i want you crocodile
to come into my life and swim with me

only you can teach them and us, crocodile
how to face the inevitable fears of being alive
by fortifying the outer layer and softening the movement

thank you crocodile
for bearing this task
of keeping us in our toes

Arrival gate at LAX

It should have been tedious
waiting for hours and hours
glad it wasn't
saw so much love

so much human interaction
I was there for a LONG time so
I classified it by race, and gender

here are the results:

-Asian man do not like to show emotion toward Asian woman.
-Children will always make a situation lighter
-Middle eastern man enjoy kissing each other (we should all learn from them)
-Women get ecstatic when a lost loved one is recovered
-Mexican families looooooove to travel together
-There are lots of lonely white people
-Or maybe they just travel a lot (see above)
-Love knows no age or gender or race
-Old people are incredibly cute when they kiss



the big common denominator was love.
so much of it
un-expressed
over-expressed
always present
in every embrace and smile

and even when there's just a guy holding a sign with a name, and then the name walks up, there's this moment when the name cannot help but to show how glad s/he is that someone is there for them, in that first smile prior to the hand shake ... LOVE

All around
people waiting for people
people waiting for love

If you ever feel lonely
or sad
or preoccupied with the state of the world

go watch people wait for love

inevitably they will bring you some as well.

Today I place no importance on common sense, or poetry.

out of touch
the center of middle earth
i get it now
it was always about me, and you, and the center

coming to conclusions can be self destructing
but wandering could affect the measures of excitement
so we stay in the middle
right in the middle

waiting for the next note
waiting for the stroke, for the kick, for the finger pushing down on that f-sharp key
so we can hear the next and the next and the next

all of this is so useless
marriage of solitude and technology
their child: earth 2010
the birth wasn't painful to us
because technology is distracting
and very good at keeping us isolated
and controlled

some use it properly
but then they get used
and the whole enchilada continues to cake walk across the puddle

what do you mean this doesn't make any sense?
YOU don't make any sense
your thick foot-skin doesn't make any sense
your perfectly designed body suit doesn't make any sense
your allegations of a true and divine nature don't make any sense

the weather doesn't make any sense


but what does it truly mean 'to make sense' .. ?
do you even know how many senses there are?
i didn't think so
me neither
but i know that the mysterious number is higher than five

let's investigate our senses
and feel each other's warmth


please
let me feel
your warmth

let me know you're alive!
scream at my face
scream something obscene
scream an algebra formula
scream anything
but please scream warmly
because the world is tired of being ignored
our shoulders are too damn cold
and we turn them so much

ROLL
tuck
ROLL
tuck
ROLL
tuck

huh?

dream

Mr. Blue
please don't come to me
take the exodus train
go to the end
there's a restaurant there
have a meal
maybe that's what you need


Run!
to both sides simultaneously
Try!
to achieve balance
it seems so hard that i never even begin
and then i kick my own derrier ...
humans are complicated
we need to remember
how simple
everything is ...

-there's one source
-it wants the absolute best for all.everything.everyone.
-we are to facilitate this want
-and to create new faces for this same want using our imagination and our feelings
-a desire that is born out of love
-and thats how we make children (and raise them too)


so fuck the disney channel, and mcdonalds and everything else that thwarts our children's purpose for making them sarcastic and fat, and moody and angry

fuck uneducated parents who bear children as a sport

fuck abortion clinics
bless abortion clinics

the world is a paradox

i think it doesn't have to be

abortion clinics wouldn't be needed if we knew how to raise children.

sometimes being loving gets a bit tiring.
today is one of those times.

i miss my childhood
i wish the world was better
i wish there was a flashlight that emitted love light.
i could shine it at all the ceo's and presidents and oppressors and police man and parents
and they would implode into another dimension inside their heart
and they would see that THERE IS NOTHING ELSE!
and they would fall on their knees
and they would cry
and ask for forgiveness from all
and from source
and the world would start changing on a large scale
and eventually we would all feel like this
and we would create beautiful dreams that would spread throughout the universe
and all the aliens would come to the earth when they felt tired or a little sad
for a love bath and some apple juice
we would be the universe-love-spa per excellence

it's nice
to
be
able
to
dream

change the do

.
conversation rich and substantial
right above your head every night, every day
just open up that inner ear of yours,
it sits right in your heart,
listen to the celestial advice
musically timed
perfectly attuned
.
change
so many sing about it
so many have died for it
yet it remains
change never ends
it feeds perpetually on you and me
so let's keep it going
folding out like an origami sphere
let's live inside change
let's invite it to hang out and eat cornflakes with us
i am sure change would like that
.
do
such a little word
it should have at least 8 more letters
for it is everything
nothing gets DOne with out it
not even a doodle
add the word go in front of it
you now have the name of a fantastic album
and a great motto to live by
.
do
.
change
.
and
with your heart
listen
.

hear ye

yeah...
the tune rolls in
voice touches the complement in the inner ear

swim together voice and tune
spin in your respective directions
34:21

completion of duality
dreams of melted polarities
flower in you

out of your chest
liquid sunflower
dancing with the jammin'

bouncing heads
bow to what you know
in your heart

now the flower is withering
petals falling around your center
rippling slowly

i'ts all part of the jammin'
to and fro
like the Indian dance

Musica do Brasil

Dancing in the tip of your new york stake will not improve your digestion
of this sonic locomotion called Brazilian music

Nothing moves quite like it - because IT doesn't actually move
IT moves everyone around it - not always into dance - sometimes it moves inside

Only brandon would understand
this carolina shaped guitar - electric underwater bubble strings
Tunning into the abyss of bliss - riding the pandero hoping stylishly
turn me into a berimbau Oh Lord and my life would be complete

Abandon me in bahia with a pair of maracas - and a flute
ill emerge the victor of the octagon - in which music bounces in and out

Claim the booty of this sounds deep into your heart
there is no other container for them - all else would brake with awesomeness

Sharp little wings turning left and right
emerge from Seu Jorge's fingers when he plays

Honey fairies flutter out of his lips - nest in his throat
copulate in his heart - in the stage and when he sleeps

Papa bear was re-incarnated into Mestre Acordeon - he wanted to be a brilliant philanthropist
so he learned capoeira and sang his life alive

well meninas e meninos
let turn into os mutantes - get drunk on Coehlo, sip guaranas, and jump into 2014

Brazil is the world on a small scale
and how interesting i should write this on the day my country celebrates 200 years of independence.

Salud!

Bloody hell in america

Dreaming a new scent for these circus days
twirling around the time concept we use to have
the splash will be monumental when we arrive

Cultural inception of regulated thought machines
work through lacerated language
nothing makes sense when they don't even know how to speak
or why they're speaking

The purpose is forgotten in a bowl of alphabet soup
circles around circles
and we keep running trying to catch the next corner
the beacon towers of hope, charity, brotherhood, love, and compassion
still warn us of dangerous coasts with ragged rocks and shallow waters

Chaos will ensue when the golden mist starts to blind our voyage
it will be generated by the unknowing masses behaving like hives
dying for the queen without the smallest glimpse of their true size
all parts of this hive we call earth are unique
fight club was using reverse psychology
if you don't believe me watch it backwards while standing on your head

Thursday, July 15, 2010

turn me around so i can see the sunrise

explosions of wonderment and lucidity
come to my window at night
when the new moon is high

singing i receive the bounty
of my internal hunters
who thank the stars for guiding them

this pulp is not fiction
this mass is my dream
everything else is just between

this and that exchange meaning and direction
tight rope becomes a cooked noodle
stuffed and primed for consumption

now the choices become clearer by the second
going right is a good idea
just know that it'll take you to the same place
left would have brought

there is no more balancing act
there is no more is

so get out of your house
and play with the water and the sun

when you are done
make a pie
and smile.

Of being

Survive the seeds
of the disrupting apple
mis-information
about
the
truth

origin
legend
grandeur

that always
belonged
to you

they sprouted
grew
divided

spread their mission
covered the mind-ground
of the herds
tied by the heart beats
that were muffled
by the poison
of the rotten
fruits

fermented minds
produced
weapons
hurt
the mass
of the traveler
carrying
the whole
in her blue belly
.
enough
of the airless
bunch

take the handle
open it
go inside it

bloom the rose
blow the west

chill amongst all this love pollen raining down from the marmalade forest canopy

no umbrella
no awning
no cover

just drip
toe
to
top

look up
open your mouth
and refill your tongue
then shout

through your nose
breathe

imagine
this downpour
concealing
nothing

finding the balance point
between all the madness

it is in the hearts

of the poets
and the songs
that you'll find the taste
you've forgotten
in the interim
of being
.
of being tall
of being grand
of being creator
of being master
of being divine
of being you
of being one

To Lion Mouth

Long shadows spill out of the lamp of your soul
they slide up the walls, become tall beautiful canvases
slender and perfect surfaces for the colors of the voices
painted with words and not poems, with poems without words
slap that brush you paint with, that brush you call tongue
mesmerize the tumult in the center of this twinkie society
trapped in the cream of ignorance and indifference
drunk with the manufactured sugars of life
paint the willows in the hearts of the weary
multicolored trunks will make them laugh
they will spread themselves, they will cease to weep
rising the limbs of their melancholy
turning them
into branches of glee
and overcome

scream!
that!
painting!
into!
reality!

Pastel Pants

Washable AND edible colored pants of pastel
wrap around my mind's legs
i slowly fold the bottoms up
three times each side
i am getting ready to run
with the wind AND against it
destination the sun
i will take the scenic route
stop by every moon before i get there
meet new people and try the food
and if it is no good
i can always eat my pants
my pastel pants
they taste like cake
strawberry cake
with green icing
just like the one the moai girls used to make

I hope i dont fall
and if i do
the hope rests
on my ability to get back up

my pants are rolled up
they are ready

go!

for the God of thunder

Realize that the change was made
tiny elves came last night and made all the adjustments
the gelatin was made, they buttered all the crackers, they even put up the decorations on the hill towers

Hanging on to the ways things were last night is ok
things from the night before are transformed
all you have to do is hear the boys from the beach and dance to the new vibes

Scary has had an affair with change
for far too long they've held hands, in the dark, where you couldn't see them
but they're tired of hiding, and to be frank they are kind of fed up with each other

Monday, July 5, 2010

giant whistles in my brain joyfully sing and ding
for a new applause of petals and gentile sirs bathed in golden lava
the merits of the applause are known only to the lava
who slooowly makes its way uphill
tearing with its melting powers the asphalt and the soles of the gentile's shoes
barefooted and steamy the sirs try to pry themselves from this marmalade story, they try to hide away in tall towers, that just like cookies, crumble
the cracks are too much for them
they hold each other
but alas it is too late for hugs now
so they fall
into a pile of sticky cookie crumbs
swimming for the shores
they are too far
they must stop being gentile
the must fight for their life
turn inside and turn into butterflies
fly far and high
fly fly
you gentile butterfly

Randomly unpremeditated words of my heart

"The second time is always faster"
is what the whale driver said to me
then he got along with his flowers and his chains

he was right
this time it whizzed by like a hummingbird's heart beat
i arrived before i could say baton rouge
the air seemed different like it was talking to me

i was too heavy to understand its message tho
i settled with watching the dragonflies dance in the air
with perfect timing without ever loosing form

this suit is too tight
my skin is compressed, it cant even sweat
the day was breezy tho
i ran along fine, held my own until the blue scarab

after that it was all down hill
rolling, not quite like a stone, but rolling none the less
i dont think ive stopped rolling since then
its been wonderful not knowing
while sitting in the know-seat
thank you
and for the last stanza of this crazy jungle of jumbles
i'd like to mention my friend the dog, and also the bee
to whom i give credit for my bad taste in clothes
my long line of favorites
my non-existing closet
for my boomerang outfit
and last but not least

for Sophie

For the African Sophie of my heart
that has left me behind in this forsaken continent
looking after her ear-ry friend

You should know that the wise:
never eat alone, always look for the nearest exit, and keep spare rubber bands in their pocket
they also never forget a friend, even when this friend is breathing the other side of the world's air

Be advised that the loving:
will steal your girlfriend, sometimes lie to make you feel better, always enjoy your company
conquer in the end without the slightest effort, and bake the best cakes.

i love you bolinha cocinada

Inspiration inflamation


HIDDEN REALMS
FACING YOU
WANT TO COME
ALONG FOR THE RIDE
.
NEEDS ARE ONLY WANTS
DRESSED UP WITH BIGGER FEATHERS
ALL WE NEED IS LOVE
AND I DON'T CARE IF ITS CLICHE
.
THE HUNTERS ARE
US
WE RELEASE OUR OWN HOUNDS
BY IGNORING THE NOW
.
HOW TO GO QUIET
IN THIS LOUD SPHERE OF SOUND?
TRUE RELEASE
IS PAST YOUR OWN LIMITATIONS
ONLY THEN
WILL YOU
HEAR THE TRUE SONG
.
.
MONSTERS ABOUND
PAIRED OFF WITH ANGELS
.
EQUAL AMOUNTS
OF PALADINS
AND BLACKGUARDS
.
DANCING
.
SHIELD AND SWORD
HELD TIGHT
.
UNTIL THE VERY END
.
LET THEM HEAR MY THOUGHTS
LET THEM FIGHT TO THE BITTER END
.
THE WINNERS AND THE LOSERS
WILL LEAVE IN THE SAME BOAT
SIDES ARE IRRELEVANT
IN THE AFTERMATH
.
IT IS IN THE FIGHT
THAT IT ALL HAPPENS
IT IS THE GOOD FIGHT THAT MATTERS
NONE WOULD EXIST WITHOUT IT
.
TO SUCCUMB TO EITHER SIDE
WILL LEAD TO INSIPID THOUGHTS
AND TO UNFAIR RESOLUTIONS
OF THE SELF
.
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
A FLAT LIFE
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
IF IT'S GOING TO BE BLAND
.
AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU
.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL HABANEROS
IS WHAT I BRING TO THIS TABLE
OF LIFE
.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
.
CAN YOU NOT SEE?
THE BANQUET THAT HAS BEEN SERVED FOR US
CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE?
YOU CAN EAT ALL YOU WANT!
.
HAVE YOU BEEN FOOLED?
INTO TAKING
VERY SMALL BITS
.
INTO FILLING
YOURSELF WITH SCRAPS
.
INTO EATING
WITHOUT DRINKING
THE NECTAR OF LIFE
.
INTO WORKING VERY HARD
FOR SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS
BELONGED TO YOU?
.
INFLATE
YOUR SOUL
FILL YOUR SPIRIT BELLY
EAT, DRINK, SPILL
THIS DIVINE
FLUID MOTION
.
DO
WHAT EVER
YOU
WANT
.
THINK BEYOND THE HERD
.
LOOK OUTSIDE THE WORLD
AND INTO YOURSELF
.
.
HAPPINESS IS FOR THOSE
WHO MAKE MISTAKES
.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNAFRAID OF LIVING
EVERY TUESDAY
AS IF IT WERE
A SUNNY SUNDAY
.
FOR THOSE WHO
IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY
DO NOT GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT YOU
OR ME
OR THE RULES
.
FOR THOSE
WHO SOMETIMES WASTE
THE PRECIOUS NECTAR
.


BUT ALWAYS


WITH LOVE


GIVE THANKS

.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
WAKE THE FUCK UP
.
THANK YOU
