It's difficult to get into
that zone, that zone in which
shit just starts oozing out,
flowing, like it sounds gross,
but that's the state I like to
be in, where I'm just writing
and it ain't wrong and it ain't
right, but it's coming out and
I'm making it, and it's telling
and you're hearing it, and it
don't matter if it's the most
important spit in the sea, or
the most drab ass, pointless
ramble on the range, I don't
spit for the birds, I spit for
the cows and the sheep and the
battering rams who live off in
the mountains, see this, this
right here, this is the place
where I live, right here in this
continuous stream, like my mind
is a river and my fingers are
the liquid within, and surely
it don't make much sense, but
here it is, feel it, dig it,
lean back and float on, notice
the sun stain your cheeks, rosy
for the moment, warm to the touch,
it ain't much, but it's all that
I have, and cryptically hidden
beneathe abstrusly lain words lies
the images of beauty like a calm
blue whale that sails unnoticed
underneathe the stormy ocean waves,
and here she appears, this girl
of my dreams, this figment of moon
beams and angel of sunrays, this
ghost of the leaves, some spirit
of the wind, dancing along on the
tides and the gusts of the unseen,
carried before me to where I can
sense her, imagine her presence like
the warmth or the peace, or the safety
or the chaos, or the jubilation,
the jubilation, the jubilation, an
animation of the soul, a flip book
of the heart that sings out its inner
most desires, inspires the eyes as
the mind just conspires, planning
and jamming, just doing it's thing,
creating the framework from which all
else builds off of, the mind is the
great creator, the architect of God,
but the heart is the soothesayer,
and the soul is the medicine man,
and each one works together, no one
is less or more needed than the other,
we live, balanced, harmonious and true,
green and bright yellow, red and dark blue.
And this is the place where my mind
wanders free, free to see, free to say,
free to lay it all down, regardless of
what it may be that results, as I build,
it is nice, each word's grain of rice,
stacking up high, high like towers of
white, and as you read through, it's like
one great long sip, you take it on in,
and though you might not recognize the
taste, you can sense that it's wet,
just plain, classic water, in the form
of this babbling brook.
