On his side eyes wide for any sign of trouble, King Deer threw back his head and laughed; collapsing lungs like a bridge; like a bladder pumping blood on the battlefield leaving a baby stranded. At first taking his shoes off his legs were partially numb, and he was worried he had damaged his nerve and would be unable to recover these things which were lost. Trying to identify over 2 Billion profound truths, he said abruptly, "I have no choice." He pulled aside his courage, "Notions that I hold are favourable to biology. Take me all Nonsense, or just forget it." Alone he maintained a metastable regime for over 40 years. But King Deer neither saw nor understood, his flat dead eyes just reflected his own unsuitability.

Why I'm So 02:42
Small yellow bird on the skyline raises its head to greet me Thoughts of remorse they assail me shuffle my shoes on the pavement Don’t know why I’m so tired all the time Sun goes down and the congregation gets out I’m standing on the corner holding my head high with my eyes on your halo No sleep since you walked away and left me with a need and a bag full of nonsense Picking at the crud from my unconventional eyelid Don’t know why I’m so tired all the time Stop what’s gone is gone we’ve got to move on Stop what’s gone is gone we’ve got to be strong Hold on till dawn Don’t know why I’m so tired all the time

She fell off the wagon again she can barely even stand so I’m holding her hand she’s calling me Peter Pan and she’s high on avatan ba ba ba bye ya ba ba We’ll I’m lost in the portals again the worm holes in my head I’m busy time traveling with the ghosts of all of my friends and I’m high on lorazepam ba ba ba bye ya ba ba Well it’s early in the morning, the birdies are still yawning and no body’s looking, what are you cooking up? across the floor we’re creeping to the cabinet we’re gonna open it and try some of your medicine

Running Out 03:09
I seem to be running out of whatever it is that was me All my walls have come crumbling down and my roof has been springing leaks my roof has been springing leaks  I have tried to put all the pieces back together again The wind just kept on knocking them down so I picked up my pieces and ran I have cut so many corners that I’m just running in circles All my minds are speaking at once and I can’t get you out of my head By the time I had decided that I would open my eyes I was too late to see the sign and I began to dematerialize So down the drain I flushed the remains of a life lived so long ago It doesn’t even feel like me though cause there was so much that I didn’t know there was so much that I didn’t know there was soma

Eventually he fell into an uneasy sleep, mumbling and groaning to himself, "...was an accident...cut the skin of aluminum...the china soldier at the mental health complex in Cleveland..." Announcing the Tao-like sense of the planets multi-dimensional homeostatic balance, there it was he saw Liberation walking along the furrows. He looked at the terrifying beauty of death. Pulling aside his mind she slowed and spoke abruptly in his precarious ear. It began as an apology note, "We were going to leave you out there, with the Insects Scheming complex Sentences who bite necks." She took the forest floor announcing, "I have to take care of you. This is not unique or unprecedented. Living is to win over apathy and bore. As we all undress at night, in the dim candle light, we are one. A Brief story of Self-Fulfillment. The white tunic is torn in that kind of storm. You happened upon this, Has it got you down?"

It may get dark and you may get lost but you’ll find your way out of the jungle you may feel small but you’ll get your wings and fly way over the rainbow it may get hard it may break your heart once or twice but you’re getting stronger  I see you there sitting in your chair and staring out of your window You feel alone wish that love would come take you home oh it’ll happen to you it makes me sad when you feel bad cause god damn, you are so beautiful You’re looking back over your past feeling bad but it’s only what you make of it you’re future’s there growing with your hair and at anytime you can change the shape of it you may feel scared but you’re half way there you’re gonna make yeah you’re gonna make it home

Cranal cap litter industries, dollar bill lying in defeat bankers bones have done bled him dry, there is a moment of truth when you all know what to do Sun don’t stop at picked lines, sand drawn fencing or alibi’s creeper come drawing down the blinds pull out your fist from the cuff we’ve got to get up off our knees and fly spread our wings and touch the sky we’ve got to break these chains up off our mind we’ve got to raise our light and let it shine flashing lights they hypnotize silent shift inside absent eyes another soldier dead and gone decoration on the lawn put the metal on the mantle the shrapnel cost of battle man in the saddle treating people like cattle sick of political prattle sabertooth rattle the blathering addled son of a snake we’ve got to get up off our knees and fly spread our wings and touch the sky we’ve got to break these chains up off our mind we’ve got to raise our light and let it shine on everyone

"Nonsense," he said abruptly, "let everyone know who sleeps all day is involved in some aspect of obscure intuitive meme." "No more talking virgin," her voice rising in a dead language, "Put out fires. Your difficult first venture up the Rio de los Reyes, your head held in your hands." The scene of the deamon warehouse dissolved, and the enveloped Alcoa form of his soul faded.

about

The dragons tail winds itself around the swirling vortex
the dimension of time unraveled in scaly segmented sequence
"Go Forth," sang the crows, personified mysterious darkness;
space between the lines

Nothing Special at All heeded the call following
through the past of being, before there was a dawn
where Holy Mother Void held in her hand the Dragons Head

At her feet lay the merciful body of matter
incubated like thread and yarn on a loom
looming in ubiquitous absence lightning
was erupting synaptic sunbursts
coalescing potential into verbiage

Mountains of moments rising from grimstone grimaces
in lattice architecture of mounting misty spring
in simultaneous collapse coalescing at what would be
strong and merciful pillars

Holy Mother Void called her consort to her
placing severed hands of memory around her waist
that danced with electric magnetism

Nothing Special at All saw it all in split second heartache
balanced on teeth of hounds that cut spirit free
the warmth of cherry blossoms falling from her palms
the bed of dreams where eternity comes to rest
ensconced in the pathos of all things.
