Note: The word (nexstepulate) is made from (next step calculate) and represents a leap in action, thought or feeling, such as when an answer to a question comes to you intuitively or laterally often instantly and correct.
Pieces smash and fall apart,
mosaic geometric crystal art,
an ocean of diamonds,
each contains a world,
chaos, infinite pearls,
infinite regress and progress,
nexstepulated leaps of success,
the frontier of imagination,
what a place,
the best and worst of all lifes face,
love, life and learning,
just these three,
eternally in that order,
lifes meaning be.
When most think of this to be on the horizon,
It truly lies under your ignorant eyes.
Deep down in the ocean where we chase pearls and the deepest point
We are groping for peace in totality.
In that ocean of life of treasures and diversions
We, the small fish move in a hurdle with our group, struggling and popping
Some in the blindness of more food land in a shark’s mouth and some in desperation to rise up in the top layer become a treat to the fishermen’s pouch.
Perhaps, we are mistaken by a mirror’s view.
Mistaking the diversions for the treasures-- we are in a troubled hunt forever
Never realising that our view was laterally inverted.
Beware! Those pearls are in camouflage
They chase us to chase them always; in ambush to finally let us drown in our foolish heart.
The fish are all alike though vibrantly different in appearance—all in a swim for the ‘most’, not ‘decent’.
That exquisite pearl has throughout been hidden in our captive—the one to vanquish our miseries.
Alas! We could have relished all we had and remained contented, had we not been so busy delving too deep in a scurry.
Elbows must be packed more carefully.
I catch the eye of a flight attendant.
Some preliminary questions…
"Miss can I be slipped into a less edgy wedge?
She frowns, resenting perhaps my ‘miss’
should have said ‘mam’…damn.
I carry on babbling –
“Could my mind be more swiftly amputated?
Is it possible to be shuffled laterally
until I intrude less and match more?”
Now she is throwing daggers of hate towards me.
Are the engines honking like killer geese?
Will dinner come as an intravenous drip?
Is that kid vomiting back there?
Her dislike of my questions
is as palpable as a cudgel to the head.
“Miss I can’t see; my eyes are too near the seatback.
Will you stamp my papers D.O.A. now
to save time?"
My voice through the triple layered mask
sounds like a hyperactive zombie.
She smiles robotically.
"Sir, will you please stop blinking,
you're making the other cargo nervous."
I had it all wrong
all I do is play along
nobody understands me
I'm in another galaxy
I say this literally
it's empty laterally
I haven't found my soul group
everything is out of loop
I wish I knew this a long time ago
it would have saved me from this low
We all recognize what saying proceeds with that
I must save it for a personal chat
knee slapping that is
let's all have a quiz
I'm tired of fighting internally
it needs to stop eternally
my foe
trying to let go
I am adamant hi cringe at the thought of dirty feet
I am biased and subconscious of crimson vegetable beets
No longer nowhere do you find coconut treats
Chocolate covered crimson beige grasshopper leaves
While ants are scrimmaging laterally liking playing football
And bees are buzzing around making a buzzzzz sound
Fluttering butterflies fluttering flattering floating
around above the ground the lower the sky has
Yet the parlay fleet of grasshoppers marching crickets rubbing their legs
Sounding off while they here are they there seemingly they're everywhere
Skreet Skreet Skreet the screeching sounds that come from their feet
Chirping chirping chirping where are they and do they ever sleep
I too have feet and I'm a floor runner
Twix and tween my corns and bunions
I'm coming running on my feet for you

Elbows need to be carefully packed.
I squeeze together organs
filling only a certain delineated area.
The flight attendant approaches,
tries to ignore me
I have some preliminary questions,
"Can I be slipped into a less edgy wedge?
Could my mind be more swiftly amputated?
Is it possible to be shuffled laterally
until I intrude less and match more?
Will my MP3 player attract killer geese,
or interfere with heat seeking drones.
Will you stamp my papers as D.O.A. now
to save time?"
She smiles.
"Sir, will you please stop blinking,
you're making the other cargo nervous."
Growing up on God's impoverishing family farm,
he learned to hide his work
in tissues of unearthly privacy.
Regenerating in Earth's richly resonant nutrition,
she recovered her playful avocations
in ecosystemic response
to global over-grasping issues
of under-conscious
her/his-storied
positive domesticity
Over-privatized
so powers under-privileged;
personalized
so shy of compelling
retelling publicity
Earth camouflaged
democratically healthy ecopolitics,
co-empowering
co-operating
co-generating
co-laterally co-investing
co-systemic
ego/eco-analogical
co-passion.
Growing out on Earth's extending family farm,
he learned to share his playful work
with issues of unEarthly
inhumane
left-hemispheric primacy.
Silent empathy,
whether majority or extremely lonely minority,
without active integrity
is unvoiced noticing
without informed feedback looping
understanding resilient communication
mentoring
Who we call each other to become
in courageous solidarity,
curious about our remaining future fertile non-uniformity
Catalyzing co-acclimating communions
of perpetual becoming
co-empathically active
and more polypathically informed.
Sung empathy,
especially if simultaneously danced
in harmonic rhythms
and causal-effective rhymes
with reason
fertile seasons,
if polypathic integrity
grows most resonantly polyphonic
effluent,
Multi-laterally rooted
in ZeroCommon
prime bilateral
polynomial affluent communion,
healthy-wealth abundance
of not monoculturing disinformation.
emotions searching wayout
hibernation compels the stage next for deep rooted revelations
black holes gave company
when walls around were black
laterally came tinge to smile......
escape velocity taking black humour with froth of expressO
adjacent to beaming astral mates
& ready for....
yet to twinkle & much to rain.
