"...the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before..." The Curse

diving through oceans 
of stars now waking
violins soaring in...

Ascending Amygdala
The human being…
Who is worthy to bestow this title or its meaning…?
Mortal beginners naming us damned sinners…
Begotten is this son; created in the image, the human being the Holy Grail…
Inquisitions; manipulations cloaking divine knowing with a consuming veil…

Amygdala Colada
Ice cold pina colada:

He dreamed dreams

 In remote droughts,
 he gave his fruit of smoke
on a simple altar.

Curd quartz opened
 solidifying thousands of stamens,
they glowed
like the warm reflection of...

Premium Member I Am Fear



Here I sit, as the King upon my throne.
Logic bound and gagged by Fight and Flight.
Amygdala, my Kingdom of hormones,
turn up heart rate, improve hearing and sight. 
Perspiration, my signature cologne.

My third wife is angry now, she knows that I cheated.
But I like life on the edge, so I told her to pack up and beat it.
Then I walked in Santa Monica, a man was lying in the path
He was in obvious pain, but I...
