mash-up man

Post by saw » October 21st, 2009, 6:16 am

ruts were carved
so we can have something
to climb out of

ad hoc committees
are single-minded
didactic at best

so where does a chic
urban rat find
fresh garbage

here on planet zero
the only home I really know
though I am always open

to alien charm
and prefer rebellion
to melancholy

any day but sunday
crave spinning tops
to spinning yarns

whirling dervishes
to marching bands
but I gotta say here

if pressed like a garlic bulb
in the steel jaws of submission
to not understand

the Greek lines of architecture
is to not know one's self
not even a little bit
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

nothing is true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't really understand it until it makes you cry. The basic situation of humanity is both tragic and comic, since we are all domesticated apes with marvelous 30-billion-cell brains, which we seldom use efficiently because of domination by the older mammalian parts of the back brain. I mean, we're living on the Planet of the Apes, man. Is that funny or serious? It depends on how broad your sense of humor is, I guess.
