Posted: 8/19/2009 10:10:46 PM | the true meaning of life danced
across my vision and crawled
under the carpet too quickly for me
to see what it was or what it might be
and it whispered that it hatched
from an egg no one could color inside
its lines ...and that makes sense to me...
meaning...just shy of sanity, we... | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 10:27:16 PM | meaning...just shy of sanity, we...
are all as crazy as can be
for like the wolves howl at the moon
we at lunchtime clutch our spoon
gobbling all the food we eat
running back to work on hurried feet
for we are all as crazy as can be
but nobody is crazier than me  | |

my mind a flood of ups and down
caffinated sanity shortlived and shy
surely no one's crazier than I
tapping poems on a phone like a clown
without cut and paste-now that's crazy
Pixar's "Up" made me me smile;
bipolar grouching made it last a little while | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 10:51:17 PM | bipolar grouching made it last a little while
then my mood changed and i started to smile
a second or two later i started to laugh
then i ordered a burger and only ate half
i placed the rest in the fridge upon a shelf
to be eaten later by my other self
wrote myself a note and on my shirt i penned it
because i'm not just bipolar i'm also schizophrenic | |

balance for me is pretty erratic
going up and down like a see saw
one minute I'm high, the next crying on the floor
if only I could put all of me back into one
where life could be lived and not undone
where love could be open to everyone
where I knew who I was without question | |

where I knew who I was without question
that place....... do you have a suggestion???
for a mind thats wandering to and fro
it seems that I simply have nowhere to go....
Where do I start and where do I end?
where's the button that's labeled "send"??
do I look up high or do I look down low?
do you have the answer? Will I ever know?? | |

does the season of uncertainties
provide my lifetime home? does the
road get any wider than this truck
i must drive through? does the muck in\
which my two feet stick get washed
away for good? if tangled
in my lint-filled mind, I answer true, will you? | |

if you can believe, believe what's in you
putting pieces together to then misconstrue
and then wonder why, with a sigh, why you try
the answer is the question, and the question is all
some short, some tall, some stand, some fall
when those that fall learn how to crawl
they may cry, til they fly to the great good-bye | |

where some will always ask the question why
life was so rich before it ran dry
circling like fish as rivers flow by
or trying like herring always swimming upstream
finding life can be rewarding when living as a team
for we always will find ourselves on balance beams
learning our strengths and limits it seems | |

more of limits nightmares than strength's dreams
stop, then go, then two steps taken back
twirled, blindfolded, ears stopped, under attack
reflection repeating faults by the reams
building walls into mazes untaken one deems
seizing self-directed arrows by the stack
friends felled by words when empathy I lack | |

getting caught up in emotion putting them under attack
forgetting my belief in one'ness and reflection
that every thought and action put out indeed does come back
so how I treat you is how you'll treat me too
unless you've become enough conscious
not to take effect of anything malicious

a state that has no borders
and its citizens outnumber three to one
the one's that take the orders
and there is no moral compass
no laws, no rules, no taboos

'cuz we just don't know how to refuse
the part of us that starts to abuse
not able to accept another's truths
selfishly being and seeing
thinking we are just not agreeing
hardly listening to anything

the wind blown breath through perfect
silence of mind, the rustles of awareness
of upsided leaves inviting the rain.
what would be heard in the storm
of truths bared to the weathering, born
of precipitous joys of laborious thought

a fire spilled out of passioned eyes
the thin disguise used in team play
caused the fan wave's motion to sway
down on the ice some didn't comprehend
twisting and turning before shot he would send
the man in the stipes was oblivious at times
it was like there was something else on his mind | |

i mean, like how do you accidently fall off a roof during a footrace
or get extridited to south carolina for a barroom brawl during a peace protest.
i mean like, who really surfs in hurricanes and climbs mountains in ice storms?
or pisses on harvard to live in a ghetto for the sake of "knowing"
what kind of idiot would waste his talent helping others
when he can barely keep a roof over his head, i mean really,
he could make a mint writing sitcoms, what the f-k?
(like i said earlier, excusing hisself from a table of cannibals at a family reunion) | |

Maybe Ogden Nash; Walter Mitty had no such luck
Or did he, daydreaming freely instead of tweeting,
owing less to ticking seconds than to his heart beating,
packages born, adventures dreamed with his c-k,
pocket knives and tangled limbs upon a dock
his wife, concerned, leading him to their bed,
rocking her baby-man from hips to head | |

all the poems he wrote about love and life
all the silly little ditties sung of blues and strife
and when the bed-a-rockin' came to settle in
and the boat began a-driftin' in the eddy's spin
he tucked his soul back in his pants the joke now told

far before the end of his story was told
tragedy, comedy, who the f**k knows
a dangling participant in life's undertows
some said his life was nothing but pain
but in his mind he had little to gain
rich with wanderings of synaptic wonder
that the end was unwritten a horrific blunder | |

you can warm me when I'm cold
or cool me when it's hot
or snuggle up round a blazing fire
but freezing in the Arctic....I'd rather not | |
