food dolers

useless information providers

arrogant enquirers

human crutches

wardens

know rules

their rules

in ruled advice books

of parents

and

instructions

in manuals

made by their ilk

written

as a dull chore

not consulting

not considering

not knowing

subjects

objects

instruments

serfs

citizens

or

slaves

all the same

according to the book

live ones

and the lifeless

their patients

spouses

parents

progeny

mostly unvisible

assumed

ripe and

dangling from branches

of  a leafless tree

in a  desert

or a swamp

down

down

and up

tranquil

brains

and

hearts massaged

with hands untrained

or ironed

with talk unnecessary

LANGUAGES UNSIMPLIFIED

 

ABRIDGING SPEECH

talking

using

short words

syllables

refrains

metrics

platitudes

as actors do

in Ionesco plays

and Beckett texts

make

people

clockwork

constructs

negating

the function of eight thousand

or more languages

in the world

each communication

mayhap

requires

a unique language

when

each person

perchance

has own experience

thought

emotion

vision

crying

shouting

cussing

praying

grumbling

among other noises

are for communication

directed

or aimless

with 

blanks to be filled in

without negotiation

a supreme dissimulator

WHAT AND WHY

 

CURIOSITY

some curves

so pleasing 

may cause accidents

on a road

or

in a car 

when one feels young

and 

traveling

through and through

aware 

but

not knowing 

what it means

to 

navigate

desires

and 

distances

MOST OF MY FRIENDS WERE HUMAN

 

MOST OF MY FRIENDS COULD NOT SING

(AT FUNERALS OR ELSEWHERE)

they are still my friends

living 

or not

fictional

or documented 

or remembered

as factual

i doubt that they saw a light

or many lights

when alive

or when they went away

in my case 

it was dark

a darkness unvisible

untouchable

not to be sensed

and

not to be considered

without relevance

or meaning

as

forgettable

as 

any relic

of thought

or

of substance

HUMAN AFFAIRS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL

 DEMOCRACY, MONARCHY, THEOCRACY, DICTATORSHIP , VIOLENCE FOR HUMANITY

Using acts of violence to silence viewpoints is quite common in democracies as well as other systems of government. In democracies the perpetrators are not openly linked to the bureaucracy or the government. Sometimes they are called, “the deep state”, sometimes “concerned citizens” or “true believers” or “foreign agents” or “unidentified terrorists” The result is the same: suffering, unless the ruling elite makes the mistake of upsetting a large proportion of the population or if the material benefits of the vilolence is not distributed to the group who expected or were promised returns. What happens next depends on the culture. Authoritarian cultures which teach subservience, class differences, and have religions which continue to disregard human rights may change one type of dictator to another or just sit and hope and pray for better times. The obsequious majority may only try to cheat and steal and expect servility from any others they consider their inferiors. Their justifications are based on myths, fairy tales, divine texts and most written laws.

DID OUROBOROS FOLLOW JÖRMUNGANDR?

 

BITING TAILS

tail biting 

does not sustain

unless 

the tail

belongs to 

an enemy

or opponent

in which case

it behooves one

to find a plump

longish

hairless one

prepared sous vide

or

grilled on charcoal

with fresh herbs

and spices

after making sure that

it does not belong to yourself

and to family

and friends

and

definitely not

someone of authority

over

the use of your tail
