tired, waiting and nursing a coldness while staring at the new reality
that awaits. dropped habits, spent time, and preparations for tomorrow.
make haste, oh most gracious and patient Lord, to grow my life according
to your perfect will.

like fast and stuff with fingers splashing code, head spinz and and.
here again to share the now without reservation a calm deliberation
to accomplish what must be done. that’s all for now — gotta run..
..wake me up when september ends.

i fight a hellish battle everyday.
always something or someone demanding attention,
time, effort. i am most often glad to help, but looking ahead
i see only miles and miles of work, stress, and struggle.
every moment is a profound gift that passes before it is realized.
i am learning how to put the needs of others ahead of my own.
the constant talking may very well drive me insane.

settle into that wretched skin of yours,
but don’t try too hard or get too used it
because you are here today and gone tomorrow,
although it is only in retrospect that time passes quickly.
in the meantime, during the slow wait, time crawls as it flies.
so another year begins — much has changed, and much will change.
i am wide awake, watching, and waiting.

bob stepped with caution through the quiet kitchen. the room hummed as he reached into the fridge. "everything is loud — nothing is quiet these days" he thought as the door clapped shut. the floor squeaked as he stepped toward the garden window. he stared at pat, who sat still among the hedgerow. pat understood the traffic, which raced past this hour…

trying and enjoying.
advanced subtleness.
trying to change and to change not,
a constant battle wrought beneath the ruins.
self versus sacrifice, or somehwere in-between.
i look toward autumn and hope for the best..
i pray winter finds us safe and in good health.
help me get back to where i once belonged.

clear blue skies and bright white icy snow melting on the ground.
i remember the good old days, with good music and a simple lifestyle.
i remember the quiet times and times with friends, family, and alone.
these memories are yours, because i have given them to you, my friend.
enjoy the moment, change, and thought. watch the passing of time.

After moving back to Moses Lake in October of 2004, I quickly resumed where I had left off. After visiting a few friends and locating some strong medicine, I began going out at night, grabbing coffee, and driving around the deepest folds of Mae Valley. The music was always hand-mixed for optimal chillz, and the medicine more than accommodated for the eventual paranoia that crept along for the ride..

I have accepted my face. And, I, for now, have two faces. I can smile and laugh and talk with you, or I can simply turn, look you dead cold in the eyeball, and appear completely objective, stern, and in control. When I look at you with both faces, you become restless, confused, and overwhelmed. Do not fear little one, I come in peace, yet I come in pieces.

Even when I am outraged, and the right side of my face is angry and intense, there is calm in the storm. Simply follow my left face, which remains entirely mellow and detached. As if I were one again.

When I woke up this morning, preparing to do some light traveling, I felt fine. And, despite my car needing sudden and immediate repairs, eventually found my way to Seattle without incident. Yet, during the ride, I remember noticing a bizarre taste on the left side of my mouth. Also, the left side of my face felt different — at the time I first noticed this, I could not define the precise nature of such difference, but I am sure things had changed somehow. While in Seattle, visiting friends, I became aware of the fact that, when smiling, I was only able to smile using the right side of my mouth. But that seemed minor compared to the fact that my car started acting funny again, after 300 dollars in car repairs, and after traveling 200 miles to Seattle.
The situation with my face was not improving. 48 hours after noticing odd flavours, I have realized that the entire left half of my face has been paralyzed. I am freaking out! I feel like some kind of freak — only speaking out of the right side of my mouth, only laughing with the right side of my face, and only living with the right half of myself. It does not prevent me from going out, as long as nobody sees me smiling or laughing or making any kind of face that does not match up with absolutely no expression whatsoever. The left half of my face is so incredibly laid back right now — just looking chilly, while the right side is doing all the work at getting out the message, working for two facial halves simultaneously. So it looks a bit strained, forced, and exhausting. I am tiring to look at, making people laugh out loud when I come correct with only half a face.
I have accepted my face. And, I, for now, have two faces.

Editor’s note: the following is an unedited excerpt from a spontaneous thought stream captured while exploring a chemically altered state of consciousness — i.e., not to be taken too seriously. Any spelling, grammatical, and/or other errors appear below as they exist within the original text and have been left unedited for full effect.
planning with detatchmentt:
//how is art categorized in the mind? by which mechanisms are images organized, classified, and understood? consider alternate possibilities concerning how art is thought of and appreciated. look at a trash can. find one. now look at it, for a moment, and ask yourself what you "think" it is. what words come to mind? is it "green", "funny", a "garbage can"?
well what can be said about the "object" that "you" "see"? hmm. try some critical analysis from some cubist perspective? trash talk! go ahead and see what you can think about that "trash can" over ther. confused? try this. take your eye and focus it on any edge of the can. now, focus on it, stare at one spot only, watch the contour and follow its path in 3-dimensional space. you see? folds and shadows cut elitist geometries beneath pools of chaos, details, thrills. a "color" analysis proves beneficial as well, but will not be attempted here.
beyond the analytic, literary definitions and postulations about your "can" lie unreferenced, subconscious interpretations of "living" images and things we see around us. beyond the two-second, snap-reaction heuristic attack on that damn can waits simple, unthinking "being" with the "image" all around us. within the image, it gets easier to appraoch the true nature of its existence. as a flower, you find trash cans uninteresting.
once there, as with the flower, true artistic and creative appreciation begins. keep the words, all the words, absolutely isolated yet fresh within a different realm of the mind as all attention, focus, and understanding happen without them. it’s a space-fold, high-level circuit-scramble if can you tap the flow. problems are problems. the inspiration and creative frequency channel broadcasts 24-7, however, so take your time. many world denizenz often fail at noticing things on any other level than "business". cars are "cars" and "snow" means just snow. why? on a schedule. whole day planned before it happens. stuck with no chance of letting nature move you.
assuming interest in holding on to a shred of creative, original thought throughout progression toward death, thereby escaping the ungodly wrath of sentencing yourself to a baneful existence of being entertained, the hellish perils of advancing within the creative paradigm, a discipline that demands organization, planning, and execution, while merely going with the flow, being spontaneos, and "getting into it", magically manifest.
given that true artistic appreciation ideally happens as one spends the freedom to let go and float with it, then, and given the derisive long-term outcome of not merely "using" plans, but obeying them, the paradoxical dillemmaa we face presents as a real need for planning with detatchment.

it has been fire for two months at least
and now it is time to rebirth into a new creation.
who will i be this time and what about the
universal consequences?
i need to know these things before I return.
after that, it’s ibuprofen.
for now, i will draw and paint and mix my music.
i will work and play and breathe and smile.
it’s a different kind of blue..
seriousness in art and not seriousness in art.
be inside and see outside
softly
reveal.
focus or die.
fast or slow
reap what is sown
reap what is sown
reap what is sown
disown and involve
vision, interest
wonder.
and maintain a steady diet of nothing…
shout with balance and fear the Lord
in time, this too will pass.
friends and enemies
dry and wet
and sand and sky
metroid colony.
business never personal until
reset switch and rerun now
see again and sink beneath
the consumer tendency.
the consumer tendency
past low clouds pour into bottom
past advance
holidays
family
packaging
i threw wet towels on the fire for three
miserable days
but yet the comfort falls
into cold looks and stirring
minds — unease, everywhere!
so again i weild the sound
of alien landscapes flying
utter softly whisper sound
utter softly whisper sounds
contemplate a rising.
