Rat Gang
Yeah, this is sabotage
Gotta grab my entourage
They livin’ in my garage
These rats an infestation
Ratatouille, my main ho
Makes my dish with tomato
Diagnosed with polio
Got chemical castration
Stuart Little on some shit
Flexin’ in his fresh outfit
Damn, he got some frothy spit
My crew called Rabies Nation
Catch me walkin’ down the street
Pettin’ rats and beatin’ meat
Bite some bitches, rinse, repeat
Got no chance of salvation
Yeah, I’m rabid
Fuck with me and see what happens
That’s what I thought
Rat Gang out
A Shift in Consciousness
Fast asleep and I am paralyzed
But free to move
As my body drifts into a reality
My rational mind is bound to my perception.
But as the gem within my mind opens
I see another world
Much like this one
Where the colors are so vivid
It is incomprehensible
As it still remains indescribable.
A furry creature
With massive button eyes,
A gremlin’s grin,
And a fluffy tail
Runs in circles around where my physical body lies.
I begin to hyperventilate
Either from excitement
Or terror
I can not distinguish
But nonetheless
my heart is beating throughout my mind
So hard I’m afraid it’s going to seize
But it doesn’t.
Slick and wet black bodied centipedes
Peel themselves from the walls
And begin to crawl towards my body
Still asleep in paralysis.
As I become alarmingly aware
My consciousness shifts.
My mind takes notice of my disposition
And by mere thought
My astral arms appear before my body
They are filled with the stars in the universe
As my skin is comprised of light.
They reach up to grab the little furry one
Who’s waddling around and around in circles
Above my legs
As his tail floats as though he’s underwater.
He’s just out of reach,
And he knows it
His eyes, locked onto mine,
Never break from their glare.
As the centipedes close in around my neck
They begin to maniacally giggle in my ears
As I wake.
Opalescence
Myriad filaments of light and memory
Encircle my sight in dizzying ecstasy;
Where is truth in this bright catastrophe?
Don't let it fade to silent ebony.
Remain in stillness, scarcely breathing
Displays of shining cloth unweaving,
Now the truth I am perceiving;
Escape this, but there is no leaving.
When the dawn does finally break
And the images cease to shake,
Inspiration new is there to take.
Why should there be change to wake?
Dead Silence
“Shh. Listen”
“What? What is it?”
“Nothing.”
“What?”
“Can’t you hear it?”
“Hear What? I can’t hear anything.”
“Except.”
“Except what?”
“Except the silence!”
“Well. I can’t hear any noise. So I suppose I can hear silence, yeah.”
“Don’t you find it odd? The silence.”
“I don’t know. I didn’t notice until you mentioned it.”
“But we’ve slept here a hundred times. In this subway. ”
“Yes. We have. We have no choice.”
“And we NEVER wake up to silence. There’s a city overhead! People. Taxis. Buses. Trains. Not silence!”
“Maybe we’re dead!”
“No. Not us. We aren’t silent. Maybe they’re dead!”
“Should we go check?”
“No. It’s cold. Go back under your blankets. Go back to sleep .”
“But the dead people? The silent dead people...”
“Go back to sleep. They’ll still be dead in an hour.”
Photographs
We exist with the lucidity of an image,
we develop, darkening our features as we appear,
coming into focus,
becoming a moment.
Maculate we are.
A blurred line or a light flare.
They add to the beauty.
The singularity of the image.
Unrepeatable,
but we fade.
We fade with the same purpose for appearing.
To capture a moment.
A feeling.
A memory.
Moments pass.
Feelings change.
Memory Fades.
A Starry Night
In the dark of evening,
Jotting thoughts down,
Under the dim veil
Of a clear, starry night
This is where I most shine
Ink flows through my veins,
Cycling through to my whirring mind
Spinning webs made of grand ideas
And fantastical stories,
My brain orchestrates loose words,
Forming them into
A beautiful symphony,
Ringing out through
The thick silence I keep
A space where my heart
Can be at peace,
Where my soul
Can stay at ease,
Where I can say
What truly needs
To be said,
This is where
I most wish to be
Lucidity
some people say they have lucid dreams
but my dreams are hardly clear.
they are jumbled like my words.
sometimes i repeat repeat myself or
i skip word or two.
welcome to the opposite of a lucid dream
it's jumbled and confused.
sometimes i forget caps
or I Use Too Many.
It all depends on my mood,
changing with the hour.
am I bipolar, don't know.
I've never been tested.
I wish I could see in lucidity
see the clear blue sky and the
turquoise water.
but my sight is like my thoughts
i see to much, i can't make sense of it.
here, in my blank page, i find a special kind
of chaos that is almost like
disorderly lucidity.
I can see the words in my mind,
one at a time.
writing is my lucid dream.
i might see clearer when
i'm dreaming of the imagined places
all existing on a blank page.
see, writing
is the one place where my monsters
have a form.
so i can see them clearly.
in writing, i have enough of lucidity
to fill an ocean or sink a cruise ship.
writing is my clarity. lets me see a bit clearer
so why don't i just
take a long look at this
piece so maybe
some lucidity will find it's way
into me.
Dreamy
My lucidity affects my day to day life so much so, that it has impacted my dreams as well. Allowing me to reamain in this state of lucidity while conscious, and continuing said lucid state when I become unconscious. My dreams have revealed to me prophetic teachings in order help mankind understand one another. My dreams have revealed to me visions, that always find a way of becoming true. Most importantly, they revealed to me the knowledge of all others having reached the same level of self understanding I have had the blessing of obtaining. Which is vast, but limited only to the knowledge that may help you better understand your specific journey through time and space. These others, helped guide me in direction of the answers I was seeking in life. Asking seemingly meaningless questions, which only held significant meaning to me but could’ve been easily misunderstood if I hadn’t been at that specific point in my life. It goes a little something like this. When asked for, “ that which you seek .”, do not hastily make your decision for this could disrupt the whole purpose of such a grand opportunity. Ask the persons proposing you with such a great question this, “For deciding to ask me said question, had you yet find thee to hold all answers?” Then revel, in the ubiquitous silence that is, reflection. With reflection comes understanding, such understanding changes our entire perspective. Leaving only one outlook, that of lucidity.
Living Waters
Drinking the fountain; divinity
Rivers, once bitter, made sweet
Crystal clear waters; lucidity
Heaven's thoughts and mine meet
Bridging the ash of my substance
Sublime, where all pure's realized
Drawn of deep well, now my essence
Immersion of love, I'm baptized
Reflection on seas; water's calm
Emptied of red like the Nile
Wounds that once bled; healing's balm
Streams; truth and grace reconcile
