leave the house be

Post by saw » August 16th, 2014, 11:29 am

I want a considered life
not a random pile of years
sitting in the corner of a messy room
not some forgotten snapshots mildewing
in shoe boxes in the dank cellar

I want to have some say in the matter
but not confessions from a lab rat
that pretends to be a victim
when all the while he knows a little nudge
of his head will open the unlocked cage door

i want to do things on purpose
because i've meditated on their merits
I want to embody perpetual motion, be
the personification of kinetic energy

I want to be the silver balls hung by strings
clanking into one another with the lofty goal of infinity
I want to be the movement, the action
and when a friend invites me over for a visit

I never want to say
I'm too tired,
I'm too busy,
the house really needs a good cleaning
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

i'd like to watch those strings
tying bells to the great unknown
and hear the harp strings

yes, I want that,
the perpetual motion ocean,
a crazy note hanging onstage,
channeling the mad jazz smoke,
yes, yes, I wanta have a say!
yes, leave the house be.

saw!

take your shoes off
no shoes in the house
less cleaning
tired-of living with other ppl
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
