Pigskin Precept From Vincent.
"You must go fourth and one!" They all shout.
 while conventional wisdom they flout
 Yet Lombardi once said:
"Never waver, instead,
 put the three on the board and get out."...

Trump and Urinating
Trump and Urinating

Trump for a moment was always waiting;
His golden showers did need negotiating;
Wisdom conventional,
Never ever essential;
He should start regulating  his urinating.

Standups can crack up audiences for hours Especially when entering the stage without trousers It wasn't intentional Nor is it conventional But surely the crowd won't throw cauliflowers

Just Be
Don't be a conventional robot doing things like everyone else.
 Don't be ordinary and boring.
 Be quirky and adventurous
 Be dazzling and colorful.
 Be exciting and fascinating.
 Be bold and zealous. 
Just be you...

Backlit

The light behind

Is not behind

Except in the

Conventional way..

If not behind

Separation stumbles

Paradox suggests

Not-knowing

Appearing as 

Backlit..

Rivers are rivers

Can Be Conventional
Can Be Conventional

For some people things can be conventional,
And then prove to become inconsequential;
In circles going,
Without knowing;
Skipped over what should have been essential.

Jim Horn

Sure sounds like Congress to me....

Premium Member Unconventional Jurisdiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artists and poets work by feel, intuition more than by rules and constriction. Feelings, love, and inspiration are the perfect prescription for an artistic work to be outside conventional jurisdiction.

"Namaste" is a conventional Hindu expression 
upon meeting or parting a person or persons
used generally by the speaker usually while holding 
the palms together vertically in front of the bosom. 
This expression I would have never known
if not for the comments left by Nancy Jones....

An Adage "if One and Two.." Expands From Three To Ten.
If
one is a coincidence,
and
two is a trend.
Then...
Three is an emerging pattern.
Four is a set schedule.
Five is an unwritten rule.
Six is conventional wisdom.
Seven is accepted practice.
Eight is standard procedure.
Nine is etched in stone.
Ten is the law of the land....

Sensory Disfunction ( Naga-Uta )
Contradistinction
opposed quality and form
our eye's can fool us...

Contradiction speaks
opposed word choice inflection
our ear's can fool us...

Conventional truth
learned behavior mounts as,
our mind can fool us...

Indifference comes
vibratory energy
collective magnet......

ELECTION..

The vote is in

One side pointed to division

The other unity..

The expression of unity

Arrived this morning..

Jubilation in the streets

And residues of division

These are the poles

Of conventional life..

Awaiting the time

When all expressions

Are of One......

Residual Affects
Residual Affects

There are effects that became residual;
For some could never be conventional,
And from day to day do vary and vary,
As cows diligently give milk in a dairy;
Hopefully environment is conditional.

Condition of environment is cause
of many things that are created.

Lost
I am lost to the conventional 
theme
From now on I declare myself 
lost
Vanished from the eyes of 
general crowd
I am invisible to the majority 
Only few can see me
Those that see me smile and 
give the best to my sacrafice
I am lost in the theme of 
nothing
Searching that is really 
something...

Dual Truths
emotions , open our senses madly

to feel , EXTERNAL , all to gladly

only to discover breakdowns , sadly

conventional truths can mislead us badly

decisions are made , unlearn to relearn

to feel , INTERNAL , our soul yearns

hunger replenished , aptly affirms

ultimate truth , our ETERNAL flame burns ....

Twinkle twinkle little stars, please tell me wherever you are, sky blue, The cows turn their heads, as they stand in their beds, grass grew, The mop and the broom had to clean up a room, mushroom, Mom goes no-no, Dad goes boo-boo, the baby goes poo-poo karma, The bass and the trout went swimming about school's out.

A Kiss
A kiss
 
' A Kiss'

a kiss
is every so sweet
a gentle echo of elected
elegant manly lips
that elevate and evoke
the woman to reach
endlessly into her soul
and give her conventional
proof of love~
and with every breathe
she cease to exist
longing to fall back
into favor upon
that ever so wanted
kiss ~

A Dream Delayed
Yes? You may call it cliché,
This song or cry of love,
Its desperate and dark petals
Falling as the year bleeds out
To frost. The leaves dried or dying,
Thus to be described in crisp
Expected terms as “gold display”
Or “copper-bronze” and you
Would have me wait, you say,
Until another Spring, although
My question’s sown for answering....

Through the Wire
He dares to be unique,
Standing out from the conventional crowd,
Breaking the fashioned pattern-
Of all typical rappers of today’s age;
He dares to reveal his beliefs
He taunts all that conform with his lyrics;
Knowing the imperfections of the world
But it is more that he-
Verbalizes them and the importance of improvement,
He preaches his words-
Through the wire....

Light
In the light



Imagin light doesn't move 
We move in it

Imagine light is like air all around us
And we walk into it as we see it.
With our variance in mass and velocity 
We slide through light space time 

Think of light as stationary as we
travel through light the time changes 
because the time of light over there 
is different. 

A thought experiment. 
Not conventional thinking....
