string theory

[constantine]

wires hum
strings plucked
don't have to hear it
it's there
it's not going anywhere
silent domination
the look in your eyes
arbiter
my success and failure
still, i miss you
you brought me kit kats
and told me stories
you made me proud
puffed me up, opened my eyes
discernment, intelligence
you were the smartest man i ever knew
smart enough to know your mistakes
how can you be that smart
why do you slap me in my dreams
don't you love me anymore
does your father hate me too
who pulls the strings
i think they pull themselves

[still.trucking]

that is what I wonder too
"who pulls the strings"
who thinks my thoughts
they think on their own I suppose


watching a movie
an army officer rapes a woman in his command.
and I think
"now he will have to kill her"
where did that come from
my rational mind?




thanks for the poem Constantine
your work always gives me food for thought

[constantine]

thank you. i was hoping you would relate to it.

i think some thought strands go back generations - who knows how far? they cruise the currents like birds of prey.

[constantine]

how much of me is me - am i a cheap knock off of some proto-dino?

i keep coming back to the ringed door that leads to the basement. but there's an attic too, lofty - the stuff of milk and kit kats.

Now that is what I call thinking.

I think that proto-dino was responsible for the extinction of the dino(saurs)
T-Rex never had a chance against him.




There is a short story called Meet My Maker The Mad Molecule I suppose that is how I think about thoughts. I try not to get attached to them. Just them chemicals sloshing around in my skull. I don't remember much about the story just the title.

I can't make it without poetry and music Dino.

Thank you.

I am finally out of that cellar under that trap door with the iron ring.

Now I only think good thoughts. Ha!
