As of Then . . .

The Sea

Sun, 19 May 2013 14:52:47 -0400

Speedos race on towards the shore and into the sea

With verve pulsating underneath them.

It beats for hydration;

For the abandon of the crashing waves.

It’s yearned for the weekend libation

And has welcomed this Saturday.

Hop, skip, jump, SPLASH !

A choir of cymbals reaches out to thank Heaven,

Then leaps back down to savour flesh.

Can you taste the salt ?

Does it sting your eyes ?

Linger for the abandon of the crashing waves;

The horizon’s just a couple more miles away,

Over which, they say, old stories find new ears

And bygones, new eras.

Once life has had its feel of the sea

It swells and splits at its seams;

And the Great Blue, once filled with life,

Will, with a mighty shrug,

Spit it back out to be seen …

…With sea weed, headless chickens and empty bottles;

Pleas and sacrifices and half-delivered messages.

Is anyone really out there ?

And can they hear your screams ?

Speedos lay on the shore, out of the sea.

They fit rather differently now:

Tighter, stiller, at ease.

Abandoned by the crashing waves,

They yearned for the weekend liberation

And welcomed this Saturday.

Good Intentions/Bad Impressions

Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:44:00 -0500

“Aren’t we all mirrors held up

To each others’ preconceptions and prejudices?

Wouldn’t you rather trade in time

For seven years of bad luck:

Four for every bad impression given

And three for every gotten?”

A silent slip away later left warm indentations

Where the lady in black used to be,

And as the leather chair slowly filled out,

A cold glass rim met my wry smile.

““What goes on inside is just too fast and huge and all interconnected for words to do more than barely sketch the outlines of at most one tiny little part of it at any given instant.””

““What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human […] is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic.””

“Christ said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” And the Indians say that and the Zen people say that. We’re all God. I’m not a god or the God, but we’re all God and we’re all potentially divine — and potentially evil. We all have everything within us and the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh and within us, and if you look hard enough you’ll see it.”

- John Lennon (via dontfuckingquoteme)
