BEYOND ALL UNDERSTANDING

BEYOND ALL UNDERSTANDING

It is beyond all understanding
how we endure our humanity.
why Man suffers his existence
and perseveres beyond human
limitations.
Today I felt another death of self,
one more betrayal of the flesh’
a giant step closer to the end time.
and my soul shuddered at
the terror of its own immortality.
how do we go on
paralyzed by doubts and fear…

I get the hisses.......the whispers.....the near misses...cant even get into that...
and of those close??? they want me even harder...........closer
right up against them....

I knew people down on bikes..leg ripped off...the ambulance screaming
cut her leg off right there....
my mom used to work on her...ms..mucus in her lungs..a pretty girl smart
had a boyfriend on a fast bike...a bad road...

Hollywould of couldof gots nothing on real life

grade seven on lunch we could go up and view the wrecks in our hilly little eighteen hundred
brick town...no fence in them days...heres the Honda..thats the brains..Like a down B-17 in a farmers field....

when the evil queen died..
(my mom) dragon lady..red claws dug into my sides
filed to points I swear...
hissing in my ear...why cant you be like this boy or that
the perfect boy...and when she was dying
why cant you be the one I wanted too look after me
I was eating from dumpsters...I still had the letter
ridiculing me and laughing at me that she got too
have Chloe my daughter more then me
ha ha ha ha ha she wrote

seven xmas presents under the tree
too this day I wonder what was in them
...
but at that time I was done
because I knew
even dying of cancer with blackened
hands and a morphine shunt in her
side and looking like a ravaged
skeleton.....there would have
been something more clever
and horrible thought up to
plant in my head to say!!!

yah..got enough ghosts to last me
a lifetime and then some...

why do I continue..........

whom else is going too do this
strap me to a cart
like hannibal
and drive me out there
U be suprised....
what U get

messages..easements
alms of the mind...

Im happy they are happy
playing happy mind competition

there was a lot of trouble
and a lot of declaration
in the millionaire row
but nothing too far out

music....

found my babies speakers
to plug into her laptop and crank
like I have down here and Im cranking
my music of late...

I want those two to connect without
me

Im done with triangle shit

so goes it....

Im also a tough motherfucker
that can shoot U in the face
and cry over Bambi

borne into this...

i am enjoying this christmas though!

I told you to follow your bliss. Once we are born we need to see it through to the end.

merry Christmas, Steven.
