"I write in the morning", he said, "before I remember who I am, by noon I'm much too corporeal to interpret the ether". She laughed and wondered how he even existed in this world, "you know you're just a figment of my imagination, don't you?". But by then he was scribbling again.

Too subliminal
Words arranged so sensibly
As to be sublime

The lingering forever
Only momentary
In an unquiet mind
Gone before
It is forgotten
Attention focused
On the next eternity
Looming large
On the horizon
Temporary madness
Mistaken for
Logical thought

The Kool-Aid
Was deep
The view
From the bottom
Unclouded
Deeper was
A dream
Worthy of
Gulping for

Drowning
In the delusions
Of tomorrow

Overcome with
Giddiness
Such a cliche
As if the
Presence of god
Could be dismissed
As trivial
Only the mad
Dirvishes
Of the night
Twirling
As they wilt
Dancing for
Ecstatic
Communion
With the
Divine
Might possibly
Understand
The lunacy
Of being
Off balance

"Where did people live before trans-dimensional raincoats were invented", he asked, "how could there possibly have been enough room?". She knew he wouldn't believe houses or apartments, so she lied, "in the fog of delusion, mostly", she said, "but that was before off planet immigration".

Path going nowhere
Gateless gate unpassable
Deep in illusion

Empty bowl overflowing
Television always on

Clocks drop
Old numbers
By the cobbler
To be recycled
Into timely shoes
Worn with pages
Of spent calendars
As socks of pure
Potential that
Might one day
Be read like a
Long novel slowly
In the shade by
Blue mountains
That only pretend
To care about fashion
Or words arranged
Too politely

Voted most
Likely to
Break a
Small toe
While putting
On their panties
Coordination
Not a strong suit
But stumbling
Through life
Not at all
Intolerable
Their lack
Of agility
But a distraction
While narrating
The disaster
In tiny stories
And silly little
Poems

"There is
No point
In claiming
That the purpose
Of a system
Is to do
What it constantly
Fails to do"

Logic won't
Save us

The path
Toward anarchy
Littered with
Lost hope
Of being
Happily
Organized

Pockets full
Of worthless
Change

True places elude
Even the best psychonauts
Broken gates hang loose

Path fading into the night
The Way littered with sorrow

Call me
Anatidae
It said
As if it were
A profound
Narrator
Of some
Famous tome
Willing to
Be a guide
On the proverbial
Mystical journey
Instead of a
Mere duck
On the way
To water
This pond not
On a map though
It quipped
True places
Never are

"I am perplexed by my own language", he said, "the grammar of which, eludes me". She laughed and assured him he did fine for someone born into a post-literate society, "when I was young we had tons of books", she replied, "people read for fun, but looking something up wasn't instantaneous".

Handful of not so
Venerable memories
Trying to forget

Becoming
A person
Often too
Difficult
The leap from
Pathological
Stasis
To fully
Functioning
Dynamic
That embodies
Person-hood
Not possible
Emotional
Zombie
In search of a
Rogerian
Solution
Or even a
Non discerning
Coffee shop
Catering to
A rougher
Clientele

Reaching into a dimensionally unstable pocket he was able to pull up memories that didn't actually happen, not here anyway. "The benefits of a persistent trans-dimensional anomaly are not to be underestimated", he remarked, even though he was alone. "Stop talking to yourself", he replied.

Emotions being
What they are
Tethered to
Nothing at all
Time and memories
Perceptions true
Or imagined
Too few calories
Or an abundance
Thereof
Even a lack
Of sleep
A body #fatigued
Vulnerable to
Their machinations
Animating a body
As they will
When even a little
Peace
Preferable

"I admire your lack of verve", she said, "high energy people confuse me". He liked her because she always brought a gift when she visited, usually canned goods, "I save it all for my notebook, verbs and whatnot", he replied, "where in the world did you find black beans?!".

Often words
Bear repeating
Nonhuman
Ursine grumblings
From within
Best verbalized
In the wild places
Beyond the light
Of what many
Consider
Civilization
What tree or rock
Would shudder
In fear
Because the roar
Inside
Escaped
More than
Just a little

Vandals
Breaking what
They may

Not pretending
To be
True artist

Secretly harboring
Higher
Aspirations
