smashing a new hole

Post by saw »

there is no literal
life is moving too quickly for that,
one of me can sit comfortably at point A
while another of me dances
at point B
we sing the haunting quantum lyrics
while musicians morph into birds

fly, fly between
the poles of consciousness,
reality is not a science !
it's a perspective,
when we are high, we travel long distances
cruise, through the neon colors of time
without the awareness that the hands have moved

they ignite imagination
what IS
is what we are able to see,
with eyes closed
and a mind swung open

like an innocent child,
throwing open the parlor door
with not a worry in the world
banging the wall with great force
unconcerned

about smashing a new hole
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

"without the awareness that the hands have moved"

is really a beautiful line and concept. reminds me of eckhart tolle's conclusion that the only time is right now, always.

i'm looking for that high, myself. good work, thanks for sharing this.
