"Don’t try to drag me into Oz
It will never work
I’ll kill the Munchkins and the witch
I swear I’ll go berserk"
--From "Malice In Wonderland" by Joyce Rugg
The scandal behind us,
We look to break through
To a new dimension.
The mind folds inward
leaving creases.
The mind lives inside the the brain—
A large surface if all spread out.
Neurons are agitated;
Glitches occur.
Events spew forth like comets,
And the mind reels.
Mistakes are made like pudding.
Upon a moment’s notice
Some file is missing.
Something in the wiring has
shorted out.
Evil come, evil go.
Evil marches to and fro.
*In Hinduism, and in particular Jnana Yoga and Advaita Vedanta, neti neti is a Sanskrit expression which means "not this, not this", or "neither this, nor that" It is found in the Upanishads and the Avadhuta Gita and constitutes an analytical meditation helping a person to understand the nature of Brahman by first understanding what is not Brahman. --Wikipedia
Controlled by the iatrogenic illness, the valetudinarian spent her days reading, writitng
poetry, and perpend on these enlighting reads..The jnana that she possessed astonded even
the wisest minds. Only God's omnific capacity was greater than her own..The information
kitibz that the malapert man had given her was immediately recognized and she told him to
vamoose from her humble dwelling..Now her vision had deteriorated to the degree that she
could only read majuscule letters...How could she survive without her ability to read and
write her loving poetry.. Her wealthy husband said that he would get someone like a doula to
come live with them and help with her personal needs and enjoyment...To be finished later
