INCIDENT
incidents
occur
at railroad bridges
in law
in physics
and
epidemics
but mostly
as
significant
but
usually insignificant
events
in a life
spanning creeks
creations
generations
also
magics
visible
on some days.

"Remembering Ambrose Bierce and his 'Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'
SHAMBOLIC FREEDOM
`randomness
dominates your life
even
when
your life
resembles
my life
and that of all
a leaf is random
children's clothes
are tossed haphazardly
as waves that cover the seas
and weevils
that devour
rice
which deny chopsticks
and then
fly
for new mysteries
and adventures
that may or may not include
procreation
An adventure
is random
to qualify as such
like the bol weevil
which
borrowed the
prerequisite designation
to infest cotton
and not prefer rice
or flour
for cakes
and birthdays
for the five hundred odd progeny
endlessly
slinking
crawling
and flying
creatures of whim and dare
survivors
symbiots
arbitrary as humans
and human doled
law
and order
and freedom
even compassion
comprehension
and apprehension
dispensed and despised
for yesterday
today
and days
of all morrows

NON-ALGORITHMIC APRIORI
personal
and political
illogical
and philosophical
abstract
and hypothetical and practical
thought
and relationship
suffers from
ancestral memory
neolithic practice
based
twentyfirst century knowledge
from
a very personal
and selfish perspective
rules the media
social
and otherwise
for the good
of sanity
and purity
of thought
and behavior
as the base
a very strong
but still culpable base
of
faith and action
becomes cause
and effect
and authoritarian asymmetry
denying
any touch
with reality
thought or seen
witnessed and presumed
sitting on a field of nettles
or on a wall
with other eggs
all brittle
and mortal

HUMILITY & HUBRIS
there is self pity in vainglory
as there is a mollusk
in a crustacean
species
in tendrils of rumination
species with little empathy
but nostalgia
borrowed
or drubbed
stories and creatures
collected monsters
endangered memories
ancient stones
shelved
with fog horns
forgotten towns
loves
desires
caves coves
and hotels
rummaged connections
disharmonious
with secret origins
forgotten resistances
and terminals
of
intermittent
repeating coda
diluted
or
erased by peace
or violence

the psyche or the soul or the mind and mosttly the body need nourishment.
food for thought
flavors for the heart
art for the psyche
certainty for survival
the unabated thirst for meaning
the importance of why
over what
when
where
how
and who
that the owl knows
older than writing
and
branches of precious metal
talismans of branches
woven as baskets of lore
saving
and starving
and mouldering
and fogetting
dust
for
all that arrives
and will arrive
millenia hence
to ask again
to reason again
and to touch
and taste
and make art
yet
never to evolve
for joy
forever joy

ANOTHER LIFE
Lives can be more than one story. Stories can have branches like trees and paths and alternate beginnings, chapters, and ends.
They can be simultaneous, consequitive or totally unrelated.
My other story is in another blog, www.otherchelebistravels.com
It has travels and geographical, social, psychological perspectives, humour, selfishness, unspeculative views of places, history and people and much less perception. yet it is another or the same person in a different light or dark.
All sand in a desert may look the same so that the naked eye or mind may not discern their difference from one another. Some may fall through an hourglass quickly; others stick around the sides and rim and will obstinately cling to their personal reality. A few will have expansive ancestral memories and the desire to pass them on to their kin, neighbours and various other uninterested, uncaring, pawns of winds, sun, waters and other natural and unnatural forces which may be divine (according to some) or man made or real or imaginary.
So the story goes on, travels or not, perspectives or memorized realities (which may have roots in fairy tales, novels, autobiographies and similar narratives, all man-thought and not so divine) following kings, gods, misfits, serfs on mountain tops and anywhere under and above ground.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing.

THE END OF MY STORY II
This has been my story
most of the chapters
remembered
and
pages
imagined
I wish i could have sung it
through my life
and to you
But I could never sing
except for a discordant lullaby
