Being back home, in my childhood room is like climbing into a time capsule. I left for college quickly, back in ‘21 and I’ve only been back here once, briefly. My closets are still full of my old high school clothes and there are shelves that line the upper walls of my room with maybe a...

The ballast of our Thursday afternoon in the countryside lays distilled in your face. Yawning like a cow in pasture eating sweet grass your words flatten the moment. Having no capacity of knowing what you might see in an endless sky you have seemingly died from boredom. Your small dreams have squandered the butterfly’s wings pathetically flapping ‘us’ into a Prantic trance, We lay...

Ennui
More frantic than ever - is it to hide? Could you sit face to face, gazing at truth? Some gear must be siezed up, deep down inside. The ghost-life you live is your purest proof. Do something - anything! - ev'ry second. Too busy! Too booked! Too bad - you can't think. Alas ... ecstasy! Distraction beckoned - So you drift ......

For no reason at all if our heart contracts, enveloping us in an aura of gloom, lost in ambedo trance, our presence reacts, refuelling vibrations ushering doom, so unless we're in possession of the facts, we stifle innate bliss beats that yearn to zoom. So where lie roots of depression, we may ask, to exhume darkness as our breath by breath task? Let's...

Back To You Billy, For Ways I Whiled Away Herding Ennui
Back to you Billy, for ways I whiled away herding ennui Ah...a flood of memories wash over this anointed Goatama Boo Da, whose respected G.O.A.T status among generic green acres, which swathed across Highland Manor analogous to petty coat junction showcasing, jumpstarting and donning a bright towering bewitched kid barren regal deportment proudly trumpeting himself as Maga hatted apprentice being mentored courtesy...

A world full of syllables Is so highly tillable; they ebulliently buoy, never leading to ennui. When you’ve got Hong Kong Phooey with a bowl of chop suey and a glass of Drambuie, what else do you need? Or a wolf man named Gershon with a camo tutu on and he’s traipsing ‘cross your lawn, asking more is just greed. ————— H/T to A Playboy’s Toys by Gershon...

The King of Mythical Endurance Ate curry with his gilded spoon Whilst watching his court dancers Perform the ceremonies of the moon Four and twenty picked maidens Each chosen to his taste Each full breasted proudly With an hour glass waist The King of Mythical Endurance Dipped a biscuit in his tea While the dancers of the court Moved in links of three Bowing to His Majesty Bowing...

Whenever we feel we are incomplete, as in a contraction, a sense of lack, fake smile on our face, heart sunk to our feet, shrouded in gloom, as subtle fears attack, how much we wish to get our laughter back! Oh hermit! Simply look at source of thought, rooted in attachments, ego begot, bubbles of illusion, borne of desire, mirrored by fears, spiralling...

Ennui
The marbled cat sat in the hall a baleful eye on a marbled ball. Not even that could lighten his mood so he wandered off to find some food, which he sniffed and licked and sniffed some more, then sloughed his claws on the kitchen door, then arched his back and gave a stretch and coughed and hacked a hair ball wretch, then...
