Sometimes I wake up with my head spilling over the edge of my mattress onto my beige carpet and I get up and walk to the computer to type some words, or if I'm lucky, I've left my notebook by the bed and I can just roll over and sprawl some words onto the pages, slanted and larger than I intend to write them, and sometimes I meet people who write upside-down; not standing on their heads or anything, but with the paper turned 180 they can write and write, while I wonder if they can read the job application upside down or if they have to flip the page to read, then flip it back to write; and that is sort of how I do what I do when I do it, flipping pages and doing head-stands and lying in the corpse-pose until my brain gets enough blood and has to release some of it or the pills and tabs I take to either increase or decrease the flow of blood depending on my mood and the weather, and what song has been playing in my head and hands for the past week- this usually has some affect, which creates the effect of me reading a few books at a time- not one after another, but a paragraph here in one, then a paragraph here in another and thinking maybe it's all just the same damn book written by the same author using different Plumes, but I digress into dreams from my childhood and forget that the rent is due and now I have to pre-date my check and slip it through the manager's mail-slot at 3am so he'll wake up and not know that I am a few days late with the payment; a thousand years ago I would have just given him one of my goats and we'd be square- well, he'd be square and I'd still be a mad man losing patience with myself and those around me whom I love dearly and take to the mountains yearly for a good roll in the chemical bliss of nature, yet sometimes I go on and on and on forget where to put in the STOPs.
I am 26 years old, I live in the historic Centerville district of Fremont, CA. I love the outdoors, meeting new people, drinking, smoking, gambling, etc etc blah blah blah.You can find me on Skype, just search for my name, you'll find me. Or on Yahoo IM. My screen name there is Gnostic BeastSend me an email if you want to know anything I haven't covered here, or even if you just want to say hi!
"Poetry, as an art, reflects the interaction with the subconscious. As Carl Jung writes, the subconscious can be recorded via the conscious mind when one recalls dreams, engages in spontaneous writing, drawing and painting, and otherwise creates mosaics of images in any medium. The poetry and prose here contained represent one person’s experiment with the subconscious. When investigating the nature of life, existence, and Mind, both individual and Universal, symbols and archetypes are found in abundance, and are for none other to judge but one’s self. Some will love it for what it is; and some will hate it for what it is not.
"Jack Kerouac once said that keeping a record of one’s existence creates a legacy, a unique and fascinating novel of your time here on Earth. Everyone has a story to tell- and if only to themselves, for whatever value may be found in it, is of supreme importance. Censorship has no place in this work, and should hold no position of importance in any meaningful endeavor. The founders of our great nation had this in mind when writing the Constitution, and indeed we should uphold this maxim of Freedom in our personal lives, if we are ever to actualize our true Self in this era of distress and conflict. In earnest I present this to you, and hope that someday, you may tell me your mystery."
