Ten gentle reminders

Ten gentle reminders for a fragile numbskull:

1. I have permission to be asinine, unconstrained. Meaning, impractical, fantasy-driven, shameless.
  
2. I will wile away time and be carefree, I will lick my wounds and self-indulge. I will be hard to watch.
  
3. There will be chaos on my plate and in my guts, and I will not do the laundry or clean the toilet.
  
4. Hair will be disheveled, both my face and dress pockmarked, there will be no cologne or makeup.
  
5. I will not read or write, I will not learn or grow. I will splash in the shallow waters of a small puddle.
  
6. Payments, made on time, to keep the dopamine and serotonin flowing as my heart still beats.
  
7. Breaking schedules, contracts, and engagements I don't like or change my mind about bc y not.
  
8. I make things work sometimes because I was a gifted child but it didn't work out. Bad luck.
  
9. I am better off than I should be given all that's happened, but it doesn't matter. Mad luck.
  
10. What’s the point? None, so nothing is in vain. See #1 for reference and reminder, you fragile numbskull.

Relinquishing the Known

Once understanding truth, is when fiction becomes paramount.
If not for fiction, truth would never expand, rather stay static.
Without fiction, invention would not become possible, just a cosmetic.
Without fiction, creativity would become impractical, in turn ceasing much doubt
Without fiction, where's contradiction? Relying on fact alone creates a closed mind,
Unwilling to learn or listen to opinion or interpretation, with a mind stuck behind.
Letting go of what is already known imbeds a sense of venture, a willingness to interpret.
If not for this sense of venture, opinion becomes subvert. 
Learn from past followings of mass consensus,
Think for yourself, form your own opinions, free from collectivization.
Only once you have your original thought, begin intertwining with truth, make it pragmatic.
In order to grow, you first must relinquish that which is known.

Premium MemberNew Proletariat: Millennial Epilogue

We, the Children of the Atom:
Whose quantum physics master the balance of past and future. 

We remember before and after; to aim them both with hands still enslaved by petty policy and impractical allegiance to the thieves who multiply yet still. 

We say now to them: Imagine what we shall do in the autonomy of freedom by your inevitable decomposition, and fear it so.

The world vomited into our trapped laps is to be gone. 

The path is lain by the doubling and tripling of the excessive selfishness from the age of lack of humanity born from the latter half of the twentieth-century. 

We say now to ye who crafted the failed vestiges of such: Cling lightly to the burnt remains of this trash you left us.

We’ll finish it off, or tear it from your grasp with a wrath of mind, memory, and momentum never before known to this godless rock of unknown origin.

And after, you’ll learn to thank us for casting away the false symbols and idols from the idiocy that is your pitiless ongoing past; and yours only.

Remembered only by those of us to warn the future:

Of how not to be.

Handsome Hardy Hal haphazardly hung horrid hearts on healthy hedge
Impossible? Impractical? Improbable? Too near the ledge?
Justifiably joyful, joked Jerry’s jolly jubilant jonquils, gyrating
Kansas kittens carried kaleidoscopic kits that clung to the ledge
Legitimizing lovely lively lilies laying in lovable lulls near the hedge

Leo’s whacky ideas were impractical
implausible
unthinkable
impossible
until he brought them into fruition
showing his relatives
and his neighbors
the faith it takes for a bumblebee to fly

Premium MemberGraveyard of Lost Thought

Graveyard of Lost Thought 
David J Walker 

There is a graveyard 
of lost thought
Bad dreams 
and lost scenes 
And ill-advised impractical schemes  
The meaningless Things 
Incomplete and  fraught 

There is a graveyard of
Hopes unheard 
Of songs unsung 
And things I would have 
And should have 
done 
In unexplained and meaningless word

There is a graveyard 
Of days that last
		Of slow but fast 
And the varied past
Engraved in time 
Of a nether rhyme
And forgotten cast 
		Of the departed

Premium MemberI Rise-

~"I am covered by the dread. I'm encased in brown this has been dark since birth. For you the means a angered person. So impervious to include and yet so impractical to explain excludes me. Enraged you get still enthrall awaken not in daylight. And yet so impractical to include me, you called me not human. You choose to not accept my light. Never the less I shine. Throughout my outer skin I'm risen. So I am broken I stand through I've been crawling
~
Trapped in a testament I believe do my spirit starling resonates. As mine soul cries out mine freedom dies. And I am so denied  yet I still. I rise
And I am so denied hidden  high rise rose my persecution
I rise
Denied my humanity caught up in my other color brother's
Enslaved in the hundred years past

Once suppressed now I am risen

I rise"

Expectations

I guess I expect
Those Exceptional
Best of the Best
OR just let it Go
Passing the Test
That's Incredible
The Last to just Rest
Past Invincible
Has to Impress
In Visual
Ask with no less
Dependable
No nag or no pest
Recommendable
Classiest yet
Impeccable
Don't ask but just gets
So Sensible...
Yet the facts will show
That it's Impractical
To expect the Rest
To be so Flexible
Acrobatical
Intensive mode
So Radical
My intent should go
So Compatible
Sensational
My paddle rows
My engine goes
Infallible
Pretending though
I needed to know
Till I leave it & Go

Submissive Assumptions

Revealing what may be 
rhetorical perspective 
Concealing vagueness of 
others as a collective 
Irrational is the truth 
from all the official lies 
Impractical to expose 
those once thought so wise 

Anonymously to be judged, 
I then had to reflect  
Inconspicuously to be ignored, 
just show me respect
Dismissiveness from others 
can be so undeserved 
Submissive assumptions 
repeatably observed 

Deception experienced in 
an inferiority disguise
Exceptions delusional 
fundamentally they deny 
Concerning yet I do 
appropriately understand 
Discerning discriminating 
principles are at hand 

Generated tremendous 
excitement and in debate
Sedated by unparalleled 
contributions dictate 
Double standards and chauvinists, 
there’s no doubt
Troubles considerable,
as they would openly flout

Pisces Rising

Able to see into other worlds it seems,
the star at dawn or a bubble in the streams.
The psychic nature in its spirituality,
highly sensitive to all motion capacity.
Romantic flashes from the summer cloud,
colorful faraway places dreaming world.
Near water living to sooth eternal space,
then true generosity never runs out of pace.
Natures priestess to teach confidence,
contradictories and its individual sense.
Multiverse applicable by innocent motion,
then every relation has its different potion.
Ascending and descending character of goodness,
retreating from a point of fullness.
Expansive enthusiasm and vulnerable delicately,
demonstration of faith and its important ceremony.
The impractical ideal so amorphous,
discrimination by true virtue is formless.
Verily, the heart that is respondent,
to the many divine worlds is liberated.
Truth that every soul is seeking,
virtue will exalt that while sleeping.
Spiritual attainment is to become conscious,
enfoldment of the soul that is calling us.

Lucid

12/30/20


Feeling like a human
Trying to avoid financial ruin
With marijuana and alcohol, I've been abusive

Yet I've still been lucid
Not completely useless
Despite me being foolish

To me music
Is rather therapeutic

I'm feeling like an actual
Animal
Evolving and being adaptable
Not concerned with capital
Or being impractical
Close and far from objects that are flammable

Life going up, down and diagonal
People are weirdos, like Hannibal
Happy to be a cannibal

I'm fallible
Feeling detachable
Or radical
Among items considered 'taxable'

Got the job done by being rational
Not tyrannical
What I learned and experienced is invaluable

The Completist and His Collections of Impractical Things

He obtains fancy chopsticks,
hardly uses them, forgets he has them.
He drapes ornamental trees 
with cheap pocket watches 
let’s the batteries run dry
hardly ever looks at them.

A suitable receptacle, a container 
or an old cigar box must be filled up
with whatever is small enough 
to be collectable.

Seashells he keeps in chests
along with unusual pencils, 
pens, and pen knives.
There are other acquired 
gewgaws and fripperies.

His poetry is a collection also.
One day he will move on
to yet another creative collection
of his ever expanding hollowness.
