This must be the sweetest form of insanity I’ve ever experienced
Grasping for molecules of dust and sand
strangely strangling my own sense of Self
Holy litanies crawling up my spine.
I’m saying this to remind myself, I’ve recited that line before
if only b/c there’s really not much else to say
about the human condition
Fuck what else is there besides the mortal moping hopelessness
dripping from our minds
I’m startled into conclusions I’ve already made.
It’s all some senseless sassafras,
Peaches rotting from limbs
I can’t dig my hands deeply into barrels of oats anymore,
for fear of contamination by wheat
Ah HA this is all some silly joke, isn’t it?
I’m so pathetically displeased
yet all the while I can see the tree spirits and mescaline allies
I’ve been walking the last few days, hearing no sounds that haven’t been produced and mastered by the Divine Spirit
Trying to avoid facing this cheating disease
But I think when it comes down to it
I’m mopping up all these blues
with a grimy rag
All I’m accomplishing is rubbing that grit deep down into the tiles
All I can recall has already been called upon
So what’s the sense in all these great conundrums rolling down the mountaintops
bouncing off evergreens and melting into streams
I don’t think there’s any sickness except what i have to say and holy litanies aren’t really enough to wash it out of my spine, anyway
And to tell you the truth,
I’ve been ruthless in my youth, i’ve turned and toiled in a grave dug too soon,
the soil is too fresh for fermenting my bones
Now I don’t know what to do about these worms carrying away bits of my soul
For sure, heavenly father, my spirit only rises when I’m sleeping
I look down and see my flesh rotten
my shoes have been ripped to shreds by lawn mowers
So how do I continue in this manner of matter?
How do I learn to form new thoughts
wallow in beds of sunshine
Splash pink about my cheeks and rip the metal from my face?
And I mean this only as literally as I can get
I can’t find solace in wine anymore. beer has long ago shown itself to be poison,
coffee’s too strong, cigarette’s make me sick, pot’s too Holy, acid delivered me to Consciousness, and Consciousness kicked me in ass.
AHHHH this is hilarious when you back up and peer at it all closely,
I cannot believe in this anymore than you can believe in your nicotine, your odd mixture of herbs and faithless deceptions (that is, it’s the only thing i CAN believe)
besides, we’ve tried too hard to maintain this.
I am hurt too greatly by god and
I cannot do anything worth doing anymore.
