TODAY was WEIRD 

I FEEL like 

NOT quite RIGHT 

around them

I had a reasonable interaction 

with my mom

I suggested 

MODIFICATION 

of the order of operations 

for FLOW

I got to have a RAIN experience 

I learned that 

when I'm in THINKING mode

visuals mode is not 

THIS is NOT conveying 

when I'm in THINKING mode

I don't WANT to turn it

OFF

ART is WHEN 

I don't want to be in thinking mode

it's ANTI-thinking mode

it's valuable 

so

I worked on stuff 

AND 

THOUGHT 

ABOUT 

STUFF 

AND 

do I want friends 

twist in my sobriety

most nights
when i get into bed
i think i feel you

sometimes quite distinctly
sometimes....

twisting popping releasing
you wrap yourself around me
through me
lover's knot

twisting twisting twisting
until

smoke

welcome to the jungle

the vine is talking
i know i can't see through to the sky
but the stars are winking at me
i can feel nausea rise
my head is swimming
back to wherever the hell you are

i don't need the vine to tell me
you're the one

i don't need the vine to tell me
we've got
issues

but what i see
is us

slow dancing in the cool night air
there aren't really steps
just swaying

then
you turn me around
wrap your arms around me
kiss my neck
my head gently rests against yours
and then, i want to say, pow

there is a burst of bright light
because
there's this whole snail-like joining thing
but we aren't sharing dna
it's way more intangible than that

but you
you come away with everything you need to finish that
one thing
that one thing you've been working on
for a while now
i worry
maybe i'm anti-inspiring you

i pull you closer in to me
i wish i could explain how much i love you baby

we burst into
flame

all-in-one

my body opens up
there are doors everywhere
what comes walking through
