Purple Nirvana Journal

‘PURPLE NIRVANA JOURNAL’ Dedicated to the legendary Kurt Cobain—(20 February 1967—5 April 1994) “What else could I write—I don’t have the right.....” Words are a big pile of contradiction—split down the middle, sincerity and fiction Feelings we have, sarcastic rebuttals—bohemian clichés exhausted and shuffled Finding my nest of salt—every word an imperfection, fault, defected assault Translated opinions an obvious search—proof of intelligence wasted besmirch “I’m not like them, but I could pretend—the sun is gone but I have a light...” An infrared light will stimulate the sun in winter—when darkness comes everything splinters Infinity does not exist mathematics is based on ten—numeral variations create a retrogressive pen To be forever positive ignores all that represents significance, value sanctified To be ceaselessly negative threatens derision creating instant credibility nullified “I wish I was like you-- easily amused... I’ll take all the blame... Aqua sea-foam shame...” Talk to your friends, they will offer you lists--- remedies already tried, they don’t exist Translated opinions are apparent attempts investigating proof of intelligence Abusive, obscure descriptive words—a desperate expression, sincere but seldom heard We stare at the sky with petrified vision—clouded images of a purple collision Sunburn, frostbite, prevailing bronze star-- noteworthy disfigurement scar All in all is all we are.....
