tap from yourself

tap from yourself the song of yourself, blow!
-- now! -- your way is your only way --
"good" -- or "bad" -- always honest.

Jack Kerouac

pine cone

container as object point of focus seed for the germination of idea falling among thousands to be singled out as the one to follow through to find the ground for the seed to erupt in tree form free as the structure will allow and still keep it contained within the realm of atmosphere that serves as temporary bubble to make the real imagined concrete and identifiable as so many thoughts spread out from one as if to disguise as if to hide the true face seen inside the pattern the empty makes when it scribes to the ever vigilant messages most identify as meaningless taste this tiny touch of pure clarity as a drop of liquid forms around the tongue taste bud testing it for viscosity and flavour neighbour to the other side where bitter seems like a long ride down a gullet with wet to make the journey glide into the pit of conjugation stomach churn brews distaste as bubbles foaming at lip corner drool to shirt collar explosion of containment beyond capacity engulfed in the complete immersion only freedom to be what comes can bring as spring rain fall makes way for pokey things coming up from the ground the way tangents have a habit of getting ahead of themselves as the tree drops a cone to spread out in a universal growth kind of way there is something in the placement that portends failure if success is measured along the lines of producing something that will last then perhaps it's inner child destiny dream was to worm its way inside the mind ever seeking objects to try to define impulse from within a single mind connected to it all like the mere fall of needles carpets a silence with a grace and only a trace of legibility to explain what the explosion will contain



Today's Pet: In need of a kind and loving home, this adorned and abandoned pig is damaged but can still hold many valuable memories for a child needing a friend, or a used bandage, call 23.
