What's In Your Head? Predict This!!!!
Did you see squares all over the page?
stars of E.S.P?
wavy lines?
blue circles?
Can we add it with a plus sign
come a cross something few will known was here?
Was this my test for the prophets?
are we following white rabbits still?
Is this just another complex inkblot
rainbows and angels
metaphors i don't understand to throw into history
for you to hand to someone
to ask what does this mean?
what do you see?
And then popularity and polls
you become subconscious prophets
leading the world in some direction
was it the vision of a blue rose slowly blooming
but unfortunately due to the icicles
and snow it has black specks all over it
can you see the green moon
or is it red?
can you sense the passion for insensitivity
are you taken a back?
what am i trying to express?
do the pieces fit
is there still a method to my madness
or are you just my game now?
read this please
ink blots and poems
squares and puzzles
tests and perceptions
and only the geniuses and eccentric already controlled stand out
but if you sway, stand out
be careful
is the square inside or outside of the square
is the star spiraling around the triangle that was never there until just now
here's your pen and pencil
heres your paintbrush and canvass
read this ten times
then begin
is it a vase
with angels and humming bird with shapes in eyes
with spirits, ghosts in doorways
is it resting place crowned with intuition
of spheres and other influences
a library of records
that centers around stars and stripes whited out
and denials danced around
struck out
and basically restrained smile
squared off to circle our emotions
like an angel you just met who wrote this
inspire the new muse
be studied that only geniuses
the mentally ill
certain artists can see
or be forever cursed and manipulated until
you finish your masterpiece inspired by this confusion
whats inside
what sense is here
what is orchestrating
the fruit bowls
and wheels of the mind?
what hypnosis did you fall for?
what do they know you can help others with in the conspiracy of art museums
thats been done before
never been done before
what ghosts and traces of white and yellow are still lingering
what esoteric seeds of psychics are still circling from the squares of the stars
sprout from the weeds of your mind
heres your pen and pencil
write a poem, draw a picture, paint a painting
what does it mean?
are you crazy?
did you predict this?
