            UPBRINGING/
 dinnertime springtime
 Anger.
 It’s a bittersweet sickness
 And it tastes like liquefied Milky Way bar I can’t stand milkyways
 Rain fell like godspit on her parade
 And she smiled
 Shining persecution and love
 The comparable pair
 At nearly everyone who would accept
 Her aluminum foil glance
 Shattering light like a disco ball
 She held my hand
 And led me along
 Gripping me
 In her steady stare
 And unsteady grip
 She loved
 She loved me
 She said so
 And I sang my song of belief
 To all those that would strain to hear
 At night she would tell me tales
 Of long after I was born
 Offended and insulted
 That I didn’t recall the future up through and to this point, Upbringing has my amazed attention!
 At least off hand
 And during the day
 She was non-existent
 A ghost in her own present
 Yet ever present in mine
 Sometimes I embitter myself
 With myself
 Even others
 With myself
 And I paint my own picture of cynicism
 In which I justify the poisons I drink
 And in this knowledge…
 I should say I take pride in this knowledge
 Knowing the fine line that can kill or corrupt
 Help and heal
 I’m sure that at this point in time
 If I were to choose a direction to go
 I would spin in one place
 Just to get a good look at the position in which
 I am stuck
 So as I prepared to leave
 The dining table
 Placing the food of existence off to the side
 And decided to go for a walk…. maybe “and” to “I”????
 At least for a while
 I drank my champagne with tolerance
 And pushed the chair back on two legs
 Relaxing a bit
 I stood up
 Taking slight notice to the way
 Eyes shifted towards me in mid-conversation
 The way words hung in
 Mid air
 The way my stride echoed across the hall
 And the way whispers followed me like prayers
 Wisps of fog I could only describe further as
 Playing through my fingertips the King thematic, reappears? 
 And when I finally held the brass
 Cool brass
 Doorknob
 Between my thumb and forefinger
 I smiled
 In my reflection
 I smiled at my reflection
 And accepted my choice
 Dressed inappropriately
 For it was windy that day
 I opened the door
 And as I stepped out into the green-grey haze
 Of the afternoon thunderstorm
 I hit the street like a crumpled candy wrapper
 And blew away. just like I did… this piece BLOWS me away…. The doorknob, cool brass doorknob… the springtime windyday… and I must say I can see this piece performed and it would leave all the girlies simply swooning… hit the streets like a crumpled candy wrapper and blew away…. A DAMN fine ending, like… cowabunga DAMN fine! Like, SHAZZAM and whatnot!
 claps hands like a little girl … wow, did you know that in Word, if you surround a phrase with asterisks, it turns bold??                        0 … wow, did you know that in Word, if you surround a phrase with asterisks, it turns bold??                        0

            my dear pasta, I'll admit that I had to reread as you suggested but I am leaving as is due to the manner in which I wrote was purposefully existential and if I had put I instead of And it would have broken a fluid chain of events a little further, a little frayed.
 And I was having fun with the fact that the subject, who is as utterly autobiographical as it gets, was ruminating on all this just before dinner.
 Watching mum run around with the food, fussy, flighty. The aging cat with hidden and subtle claws.
 I was reading an enormous amount of kafka at the time and it shows, but who cares, really because kafka ROCKS.
 I'll type later but i've just been busted at work....I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.0

 Wasn't Kafka the ultimate bad guy in Final Fantasy III? Or was that Kefka?- 98 Pgh

            so... i'm a bit confused by "existentialism"... i've read webster's definition, but it doesn't satisfy...
 what is it that makes that statement "existential"
 to where saying "I decided to go for a walk" is inexistential...
 would you help me understand? 0 0

 There but for the grace of seam
 I have read your travels from afar
 These pages musty and tea stained
 Witnessing Saturn's waxing from Titan
 Sipping liquid nitrogen in the acid rain
 Venus mysterion, the thick and heavy pull of home
 The swirling mass of clouds that mention no idea of parting
 The static hisses and crackles
 A synaptic highway, a road in tone
 Your storm, Jupiter, three earth giants wide:
 Enough of this tantrum and of proving your worth
 Drop the charade, the bitterness, the hate
 Give us Io's gifts and Europa's chlorophyllic tide
 We circle infinity with enough dark matter to spare
 We settle our questions by pointing one way, the distraction,
 While the answers remain neon, krypton, helium
 A breath upon Neptune's air
 Pluto, Mercury, balls of rock
 Moons with egos to big to share
 One, ages slow of ice and cometous turn;
 The other at one moment flared by the sun, cracked and scarred,
 Cryogenic before the day is learned,
 The both daring to plow their own paths through the celestial cairn
 Tempting the fates to be torn asunder by meteoric burn
 Mars the small red hope, so like home
 The dust storms 30 days fierce seem romantic from afar
 The ice belts and evaporation beckoning, enticing, a man's dream of future
 One day perhaps a second home for a wayward and lost race of minds
 Seeking the healing and sleep provided by the untouched rose and rust blanketed landscape
 Away from noise and pride in a land devoid of time
 Such a small part of infinity this celestial roam
 Such a small part of anything this place that we call home
 The sapphire and emeralds of our planetary jewel
 Not good enough as we look to the diamonds above and reach to the silver moon
 Will we fail, this dream, this travel upon gods highway?
 Will we grasp the tail of the comet, lost this sunlit day?
 Must we seek so far, are we so lonely
 That the love we create at home pales in comparison
 To Orion's nebulous cay?
 Nay but other galaxies discovered drive man's nomadic needs wild
 And he would flee his homes, his lives
 Because of his fascinations and dreams as a child
 Pray for the six year old in space flight demanding the opened eye
 Pray for the sixty year old in space flight and demand the open mind
 For every launch and flaming pathway from this planet to the next
 I shall fly with them, shouting for joy as the atmosphere gives way
 MY dream of weightlessness and flight, so grounded in gravitied sway
 Shall be theirs, star upon star, inside the mouth of Ursa Major's cave
 With my eyes closed...
 I shall wish upon the falling light
 And wish a wish with all my might
 To take these trappings, this material man
 And throw him into the night
 And if should die before I waken
 My soul so shiveringly and previously taken
 Keep it peace
 In the ruby gaze and opalescent haze
 And the thunderous silence
 Of the heaven's darkwaters breaking
 i came on here to see exactly how long it's been since you last wrote... not too long, i suppose, but i daresay it is nearly time you did so? yes yes... so anyway... i consecuted 100 posts of chitta chatta (lovely stuff) and came back to this....

            Breath of Flame/last
 things move a pace unseen
 cannot discern
 watch the fire leave steam
 the patched and molded key
 unlocking in exacting precision the moments we burn
 the high silence we emote
 insurrection and rebellion to the exclusion of all
 there are words left unspoken and hung
 the touch is poison, the lips, the tongue
 the gift of self in a state of venomous cremation
 the asp on fire
 spinning
 spitting
 writhing in an opal joy
 the coldblooded warmed
 the coy's last ploy
 this saltwater so available for drink and evaporation
 soaks the wounds in secondary refinement
 pain a clarification and a clouding
 such concision of surgical strength
 eyes open wide
 black holes and dark matter from which light can't escape
 pain a clarification and a clouding
 the feel of the constant waking never awake
 settle the self in ash and urn
 the antivenin a successful return
 no more a twisted, scaled and scurvied sailor in citrus fast
 our dragon returns to myth and light
 its bite of renewal trailing behind
 the flame so dire
 so earned
 the body left behind pale and shelled
 sooner or later molds to the rocks upon which it was broken
 and becomes slowly upheld
 as the tide gently lifts and carries in reverence
 the undertow its deepening well
 watch me float to sea, the dying island
 nothing but the solution of ash and salt
 the intimate situation of evermore
 as for the first time i ride currents with no resistance and no tiresome diatribe
 this life
 as ash
 through death's door I exploreI'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.0

            sometimes we must rest among the reeds
 our joy's eye bored with one more day of sky
 our roots rotting for a while
 our hope sleeping
