stupid advice

there is this place that can be accessed by using higher intelligence
it doesn't take higher education to get there
it can certainly help but be curious that's what you were made to be
be yourself but be honest and not too distracted
you know the way
you can feel it
if you cant feel it let it come
take out the things that don't work
don't settle just for what's easy
fight for your place
don't take shit
stand up
be counted
humility sometimes is giving up
know the difference
feel the truth
make it work
find a way.

earthling

how writing it down makes it go down easier
make a drink
stop and think
write shit down
make a mockery of the miserable existence you make
make something better
improve
move down the lane and pick up some pointers along the way
there are people who wan to help you
not many i would agree
and there are a lot of folks ready to kick your ass
take your shirt and fuck your corpse but that's part of this ugly business
survive
feel alive and try
give a mother fuck and get shit-people out of your life
live with strife and read some shit that others went through
you're not the first nor last
place your spot in the history of time
where you are
what shit you're going through
human condition
see it through
not alone
really never
it feels like this feeling will never end
you're isolated lost and alone
but you are an animal
and animals are part of this planet
you are connected
the universe understands your pain
your pain is part of this tapestry
woven in with your DNA
part of the fabric of life
you are part of this tapestry
you are part of this experience
take refuge in this part
connection at a the universal
part of the process
part of the people
part of the kingdom
part of this place.

positive gripings

pour another tall one
drown out sounds
make smooth edges from chards
shrapnel stuck in sides and arms
irritation and procrastination make good bedfellows
post mortem postmodernism precludes poverty
it's in streets and people you meet
there are sounds identifying it
place
context
religion
fight infection
redirect interference
post apocalyptic sound vibration
systematic mind motivation
words of exercise
post modern enterprise
drink and smoke lines of coke
the madness all consuming
alcohol cannabis sugar caffeine
right and wrong christian swan song
make smooth the edges
refine the moment as if it were a food
product manufacturing simplicity
in obscure obscene complexity
take another drink
another pull
make a break for the corner man
your dealer man the man that can
make a run
get the deal done
you continue on the run
it won't matter if you do the clean and sober
it's never over
this is forever
this is alway
this is reality
this is it
you are not dreaming
come to gripes with reality brother
sister
manager mister
it comes and goes
there are things out there that make it all worthwhile
that kills the hours when it's so fast you can't take it all in till later
out with friends connecting on planetary gravitation
it's not thought out it's organic and it's making things fall into place
drawing together resources energies
making plans and enjoying the small the precious
like when it all comes together
when life fulfills overwhelms breaks through the surface
a flash which lingers only long enough to become an idea
of an experience that you cherish to then end if you know it really is the end
and you suffer no more
poor human condition
nobody told you the truth from the beginning or you would have
opted out before this undertaking
no choice is given you are here and make the best you can
or are delt because life as a human here on earth is a crap shoot
a chance at greatness failure mediocrity

rain in December

it's cold and raining again
time to go out and make things happen
i've lost the hardness of east coast winter
california sunshine syndrome
pull out the base layers
put on the bad weather game face

it's cold and raining outside
not really all that cold
not really raining all that hard

losing my lover's drive
letting in the business of business
drive rainy nights into paying off
that which needs to be paid

closing down the old shop
the family business
where the heart beats
where there's love found on city streest
brings dreams that can't pay
off the head in the clouds

the rain continues
my head still in storm clouds
where you at when blue sky's halo
and the sunlit day show
how far you still have to go.
