hungry.......

Post by saw » September 9th, 2021, 9:35 am

am I hungry ?
dunno
perhaps I am thirsty
why I am stuck
doing the mind-fuck limbo
how low can you go
how deep
is the love of confusion
sounding like a one trick pony
galloping through a wasteland of myopia

be still harried one
use the lungs you were given.
half capacity
will not cut it here
in the jungle,
take a deep breath
feel the universe come in
deeper, deeper
feel the truth of shrunken ego
touch the heart,
of the hungry

I was right the first time
I'm hungry.....
I could eat a plant-based hippopotamus
of crystal clear
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

Mmm I really love the write.. I think it’s funny that the mind fuck limbo has not been more adequately described in some time now.
There is a poem in the lines between the paper and pen
Or a snarling keyboard dating you to not be eaten or go too hungry- at least : you are well spiritually- whether you eat in the jungle or of primordial ooze.. this is the good stuff.
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---
