Ignorance

[revolutionrabbit]

What did Dickens talk of
Ignorance and Want
those twin cities
in any age

we shall not want
what the other got
leaves us like a rot
money honey in the pot
nine nine nine days old
is the life after birth not

the best and the worst
first and last, cast and past
the wise and the folly, good golly
miss molly
epoch, epoch, knock knock
on the door of light and dark
perception, everything behind
everything before

oh the spectre of the lone wolf
the sign of good and evil word
you feed me like a baby bird
tincture of distilled Dickens
a craw in my maw a queens
face in my mirror of heaven
going the other way

oh can you come out and play
out here on the highway, stand
and deliver the family jewels
the children are cool, don't break
the golden rule, but need to bend
them and blend in the moonshine
can we meet at the crossroads
make another deal with tricky shadows
dancin, dancin in the naked silver trees
and lighten our load, please please
pretty please with some brown sugar
on top, draw it in , don't lose one drop
on some summer night, when the faery
bright shines our way
laugh with the toad and the king of blue, and
the next day
as you ride into town backwards on the ass
ride on the high road above the low one
the sun king dresses like a raven
you dress like a language maven

we were takin about ignorance, honey child
talkin about this age and that one, turn the
page, and read on and do not tarry, if you
read to the end you will marry a joker card
and they shall gather around the coyote Bard

it was hard times and it was harder times, the faster
and the faster faster, pussy cat, the monkey was shocked
over the spring was sprung the song and the singer moon

Ignorance and greed are the twin towers of ruin.

But then Zensters say it's all just yin/yang.

Ignorance is bliss and ruin.
Intellectual power is bliss and ruin too.

and Greed is.... well, greed is just greed.

I'm a lousy philosopher...

whoa, this was sooo busy, i got dizzy.

I mean that in a good way, i enjoyed your thoughts here; especially the ending lines.

[revolutionrabbit]

the" faster faster pussy cat" is a B movie title about some female biker gang, i talked to this gal that worked in a magic-herb-occult store years ago that said that was her favorite movie, she had that goth look.

dizzy dizzy pussy cat.

notice my style, tends to add everything but the kitchen sink.and i would add that too if it seemed to demand it.also notice that i mention, or reference songs and other poets.there is also reference to any literate source, historical or mythic, magical, alchemical, utter nonsense, that also happens along.

also if you read the poem aloud fast, and faster puddy tat.

faster faster down the rabbit hole....

and the backup stars,
coppin beams in jars,
drinking whiskey on the minor chords,
climb every mountain,
stream every fjord....
whan that aprille,
sure and pass me a soda...

yeah, I can dig it when rabbits roar.

they call me alice sometimes because i prefer rabbits & magic secret gardens. serve my tea on a stick. add icing sugar to the mix. it gets hairy too sometimes. but i just bite the fur and stir the stir. that's what i do. i want. but i do not ignore. sometimes i ride the fairy. sometimes she rides me. ignorance is bliss. but a kiss is not just a kiss..

...i have no idea where that came from...or what it means...

but thanks
