Rantamble? How 'bout strollin'...
'round about and
far too much lollin'
but that's alright
may be should be
which is oh! so frequently
how it's done
anyhow
along I came
and there I go
succeeding
failing
what's to know
that I can't grasp when
times do come
until it's done
damn! it's done
so now to truth
and sense it so
the wind inside
it swirls slow
as longer
shorter
fuller now
I am again
what once
was how
but all of that
is not to say
that things once done
have gone the way
of dreams and potions
taking lightly
sweetly sipped
no longer nightly
pain escapes
and eases me
into the past
the futures be
all of my time
though wasted still
or what
what will ...

just this once
nevermore and only
unless because
because well
you know
what if I didn't
what if I didn't take that chance
and I was left
yet again
hanging in the wind
the cold
the emptiness of being
me
alone
as usual
and then again
I feel that I'll change
I don't
I don't have any reason
for that feeling
maybe it's just hope
that shit I won't abandon
even on the edge
so far away now
so far away
On Wikipedia, it goes like this:
"The artist is nothing without gift, but the gift is nothing without work." - Émile ZolaEither way, I'm still one lazy, unmotivated sumnabitch... Catch freakin' 22, eh.

I'm so fucking messed up. I mean, sure, most of us are to some extent. I know that. I'm just more so and further along then most "normal" crazy people.
Even explaining that makes it seem enormously apparent.
C'est la fucking vie.
I can't help this longing
...
and I wanted to believe ...

...in vainglory
emptied of all but life's shade
...gladly let go by the way
sadly informed
...of madness in grey
and spectral colors
...lonely for all
and slept in
...unatoned, bereft
seduced by others'
...realities long lost
vacant and unadorned
...simplicity answers
mocking
...in the know and smug
lest somehow
...somewhere
......everything falls into place
and I breathe again
...still yet to sample
the silence of forever

Of a course and so it matters
and now so sorely so
that lost in shreds and ghostly tatters
disjointed ideas
ebb and flow of colors prime
Limping forward, pulling free
towing me along
a question, hard, once heard howling
screaming out
its same unanswered song
A darkness piercing brightly
in fullest emptiness
here, take this
what is left 'me
I did not seek its kiss
Through eyes ripped wide
and wrinkled shut
through purpose lost
a tuneless rut
In timbre, hue and what I feel
though ringing true
yet far from real
As all those
timeless
faceless
moist and empty dreams
I recognize in everything
the goal of all my schemes
Escape away 'til sunrise sets
reality's great weight
upon my neck
And opens up the gallows' door
falling away
the scrawl of Love's face
fallen away
Not yet
arise
get up
meat needs turning
bread is on the rise
the wine is fit to drink
Another sun and moon
have their stories to tell
their song still left to sing

. . and False.Whilst true that many lifelong habits - both those with which I'm good and those I'm still to kickin' - do hold prominence in my daily being, it is even more accurate to say that those habits from the first half have been built up or whittled away to form the background on the canvass which is the evolving critter that be me.
So, I totally get where dude was coming from. I just ain't locked down with it, eh.
By the way, clickin' the pic takes you to the same place that it does when clicking on it from the iGoogle home page. If you don't use it yourself, it's just one of dozens of distractors you can add to your own.

But it's only 6:30 in the AM, so that'll change soon enough.
Apocrypha
less absent than common sense
apocrypha on the lips
tips of tongues and spewing
regularly imbuing small lives
with larger self impressions
holding court in absentia
delayed gratification becomes anathema
when what one wants
is only never to be thought the other
apocrypha lends credence to one's claims
echoing elements of others' tallest tales
longing (though of course not showing it)
for the admiration of one's own
an acknowledgment that one is all alone
and still steadfast denial, rebuttal of the same
in subtle ironies missed too often
still plays, whole scenes, brief captions
formulating plans for local domination
of the world which is not everything
except for all that matters anyhow
apocrypha elucidates the simplest
clearest sign of life, la joie de vive
too powerful to bear aught but a wink
a nod
a shrug of the shoulders as the moment passes
eternal
ephemeral
esoteric and surreal but
all too common in our own and only world
Have a beauty day, eh.
