I saw a flick tonight
and on the walk home realized
Damn, I live my life like a movie.
It's a romance comedy
where the heroine can't quite decide
who she's gonna save,
the villain aint yet mentioned,
and the bad guys where masks of kindness.
My storyline unfolds...
Behold:
I let Thoughts drive me home tonight
as I took a seat in the back and daydreamed
in a drunken state of confusion
and a fear of disillutionment.
I tried talking to Common Sense, but Mind,
he just don't bother with me.
So I gave up and let him fill the space
between sound.
God was he loud.
I asked if he'd shut up a minute;
He didn't answer but kept on spinning me dizzy,
driving me crazy--
And by this point I was really gone,
Lips slurring and lazy.
Can't express myself properly
so I'll just create my own vocabularly:
I feel symbolicimistic,
perpealimistic,
obsticnisent and
brack.
That's raw, ladies and gentlmen.
So there I was,
bewildered in the back seat of my own Mind,
head full of Mind without control,
Ears clogged of sound without source.
Window's cracked a smidge;
brings in fresh air and a loud noise
that dulls out my head ache.
And what was it that Mind kept jabbering about?
Love and marriage, today and tomorrow, past and present, experienced and expected...
a jumble of cliche's, really.
Concsiously, i realized this:
The more I laugh and draw to Them,
the more, I find, I'm missing You.
God I hope that wasn't what tonight was all about...
Prose: Had a brutal work day--swamped, all day long--finally got to some xmas shopping, met Josh and Aaron in Tempe to see Rent, enjoyed two long walks (not on a beach, unfortunately), and then all hell broke loose in my head, producing that load of trash above. The sense of it, I don't know; I think far more than I talk and I rarely understand what I'm thinking.
(Ok, maybe that's not entirely true...)
Carrie (apologies for the...yeah...)
We call it the word-fountain-effect. It comes from stress and fatigue and inspiration all mixed into one.
