Oxymoronic Milieu

The chemicals slowly drip on me;
I change.

Temporarily claiming a new neurosis
that exposes the weaknesses
Of my constant state.

Molecular communication,
Ligands and Receptors,
Signals transduced from
Atomic energy,
Magnified into chain reactions
And monsoons of adrenergia
That culminate outward into
Bursts of laughter,
hypercritical thoughts,
Paranoia,
And intense emotions.

Microscopic square dances
Of Magnetic polyamory
And electrostatic promiscuity
That shudder onwards and upwards
Into my macroscopic world,
Affecting me.
Making my own sociology seem wickedly ignorant.

Everything becomes a laughable farce,
A magnanimous stage with beautiful actors reciting shitty scripts, readymade.

Come question me about the current world . . .I wouldn't know. . . .I live somewhere completely different.

Mentally off the grid,
Discovering new turns in the maze
Leading to portals
And trapdoors
That infinitely split me
Into Two,
Each separate self
Now a ghost runner
Scouring the labyrinth
Against an eternally finite time.

Nice, as always.

How are things?

Re: Oxymoronic Milieu

Thanks Gonz,

Things are okay. Up for a quick trip in Chicago for a few days. With some good friends.

Coming up around a bend here soon. Curious to see what's next. Optimism wanes more than it waxes these days. . . sometimes I just crave the mania. . . but it's always transient.

Everything good with you?

Re: Oxymoronic Milieu

Yes. Playing some music and writing a little. Planning on a trip to Montreal just after the Tool album drops, so I'm looking forward to walking around listening to some good tunes and feeling some inspiration.

And see where it all leads...

Re: Oxymoronic Milieu

Yea man. I really dig the new "single." literally can't stop playing it. I wasn't expecting to be swept away by their new stuff. Hopefully, the whole album touches me as Fear Inoculum has. I've re-sychronized, if only temporarily. . . I'm seeing the pattern once again. It's a crumb trail. . . . just keep on picking up those scooby snacks.
