“you get bigger as you go
no one told me – i just know
bales of memory like boats in tow
you get bigger as you go”
-Bruce Cockburn
all of us
are of sense-surround
and multi-cultural backgrounds
but most are just too tribally sick
to truly explore it
i declare my new sanity
away from all traditions and laws of humanity
i obey your visible standards and structures
but i exist as a pure Soulbeing, a concept-buster
they know who i am
they know what i buy
they have a timer on my ass
telling me when i will die
i don’t sing songs
not anymore
never had a record producer
knocking on my door
they know how many smokes
to a cigarette pack –
how many peanuts
to make a batch –
how much fire is produced
from a struck match
but they do not know
the possibilities of tomorrow
or the infinite directions
healing energies flow
i am master of nothing but mySelf
medium to the eternal mysteries
ever the enemy
of ignorance and slavery
is it
oddly, strangely different?
or just a
cyclic tangent?
manifestations
of the endless
eternal, cosmic
movements
transmissions
transcriptions
teleportations
of higher beings
feel-read-see-things
see-things-read-feel
read-see-things-feel
reveal reveal reveal
fight for who you are
