Outer Heaven
10.10.20 – 11.10.20
I VENTURE TO SAY
THAT YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN HEAVEN
BECAUSE 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 time
the fleeting kind
you still my mind
…deafening vibes.
Once the bud of exploration begins to open will you breathe heavy laborious breath wishing it to look like others
will 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-all
Unfit for us others.
In the authority that takes place in your heart
are you as afraid of yourself
as 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 most
is barely fine.
However when those lines are blended with denial and absence of true self
serpent-like mating balls of tension and angst are bound to stop intrinsic motion.
Can you believe in the day though you only wake for night
will you wake for daylight
the way you do for the restroom
specific, purposeful,
erect,pulsating,needing to release excess in order to be at peace with internal comfort.
upon returning to bed, are you
appreciative, aware, open, and blank.
