Outer Heaven
10.10.20 – 11.10.20
I VENTURE TO SAYTHAT YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN HEAVENBECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT IS OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF
or perhaps believe it is a moment of bliss with which ignorance is a close neighbor There’s nothing new under the sun yet your ignorance still baffles me. you still take timethe fleeting kindyou still my mind…deafening vibes.
Once the bud of exploration begins to open will you breathe heavy laborious breath wishing it to look like otherswill you watch it open in daylight resting at midnight as you smoke,drink, parade, and talk about it.You have the answer but you assume it is the all-knowing kind.Fair, for a know-it-allUnfit for us others.
In the authority that takes place in your heartare you as afraid of yourselfas you are authority in uniform.what begs someone to do their job even though no one likes them from distance, in uniform.the line between doing your job and doing the mostis barely fine.However when those lines are blended with denial and absence of true selfserpent-like mating balls of tension and angst are bound to stop intrinsic motion.
Can you believe in the day though you only wake for nightwill you wake for daylightthe way you do for the restroomspecific, purposeful,erect,pulsating,needing to release excess in order to be at peace with internal comfort.upon returning to bed, are youappreciative, aware, open, and blank.
