Theater of Utter Charm Part 22

Part 22 how can there be any absolutes with the clock ticking like it does it's hard to tell if you'll come to your senses when it's one thing to be short on the rent another thing to stay short on the rent can we trust humanity to employ logic and accurate boundary surveying or rather erupt in mating rituals which are obvious to the sentient as a form of class warfare failing to touch the untouchable failing to touch tomorrow on purpose the purpose of dead atoms bringing us to life we need to know the multiple dark continuities between thoughts sure we talk to our memories the question is do they talk to each other for you royalists the kings first purpose is to hoard the grain so enjoy the ride pilgrims it's all your fault for failing at regicide in a random aimless sort of way a curious tale of exasperation and ineptitude constantly high on self congratulation while society turns into a cattle enclosure under the careful eye of speculators and other heroes of the abject and wanton so shall we finally turn towards the taboo of effortless awakening all you will need is the muse of curiosity it's not so much what is truth or how it is arrived at it is the impulse to begin preconceptions may be an extreme liability a place where there is no substitution a realm of contour and texture and light and shade with each thing of its own qualities unique without meaning or metaphor no hierarchies or qualifications of judgment a state of passivity beyond meditation how else could the awareness of awareness proceed as a point of reception in a radiating system mommy mommy I have a voice in my head it's where dreams come from sweetheart we receive we project we are input channels perturbations from elastic to inelastic how is it that we can change perspective reroute the input into output which makes me want to shoot my script writer he's a source of endless exasperation with one exception there is always one exception and where does this beautiful anomaly come from at some scales it is delicate at some scales it is robust at some point you have to feel impervious in order to function in this madhouse of casino games and amusement parks another damned paradox in a baby's brain where the winds howl and gargoyles romp and scatter simply delirious with nostalgia I know boring but finding is better than losing in everyone's book and the telephone book (to be continued) From "Theater of Utter Charm" Available on Amazon
