a new standard

Post by saw » April 22nd, 2017, 12:59 pm

can I really say
something new ?
or is it just lipstick and mascara
on a razorback hog

maybe if I dig down
deep into the sty
way down there in the rotted fertilizer
I can find a new edible mushroom

that wants to meet me...
understands my stomach issues
for ingesting whatever, I think I hear him say
"Hey , I'm a fun guy "

I'm sick of the rabbit hole !
it's more cliche than I can bear....
give me the pig shit,
let me breathe the earth and sing

Daze of Swine and Roses
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

The fun guy giving me nausea

True...
What can you express that hasn't been expressed before?

For some reason this made me think of Eastwood in unforgiven... Just tryin' to hog farm after all his years down his "rabbithole"...

something infinite... could never be fully expressed,
thus expression can only grow, provided, time exists
in the rest of the cosmos as we experience it here...

four cents

I guess I felt for the woman in the days of wine and roses, in a deep intense Greta Garbo way
The way she looked out that window and said " I drink because it makes the world seem less dirty and beautiful instead of sad"
I was Greta Garbo with a black American spirit- oh I felt so cool and introspective
Turns out I was Pavlov s dog
At any rate
Here in the desert
The sun just is in charge of everything
Time
The sky is blue
Not to in Oregon
How I missed California
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
