ROTATION

ROTATION

ALL THE ANIMAL GODS WEPT FOR AN INSTANT anD BEGAN TO CHANT. SOME LOW SONG , LIKE THE BAYING OF WOLVES, THE PURR OF CRICKETS AT NIGHT . THEY WHISPER SUCH GORGEOUS STORIES. CAN THE SPIDER LIVE THE DREAMS HE SPINS? OLD MEN DIE, ATTACHED TO MACHINES THAT FEED ThEM AND KEEP THEM BREATHING.

the world is nothing but a mad poet's dream, the creation of a synthetic mind, like an organic computer running endless programs, always programs

beware the jabberwock, my son , the jaws that bite, the claws that catch! beware thejujub bird, and shun the frumious bandersnatch!

I FIND ONE MOMENT AND THEN THE NEXT. WE MEET AND FINALLY KISS, KISS FOREVER, KISS AGAIN.

and i am oblivious, uninterested........

I SLIP INTO MONOLOGUES. I QUAKE WITH FEAR. THE PATH IS ALWAYS CHANGING.BUT YOU STICK HERE, INSIDE ME AS I VOYAGE. WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH. BUT WE WERE LIKING THE LIES AS WELL. WE'VE MET BEFORE. IT IS NOT MY HEART I'VE GIVEN YOU, BUT MY FURY AND MY SHAME. THERE WERE THINGS I WAS JUST TOO FRIGHTENED TO TELL, AFRAID BECAUSE IN WORDS THOSE THINGS WOULD BECOME ALIVE..

THE EYES, THE EYES GIVE IT ALL AWAY. THE GAP BETWEEN THE LIGHTNING AND THE THUNDER IS CLOSING IN. THE FLOD SWELLS IN YOUR CLOTHES. WE ARE DELIVERED ONWARD. I SUFFER NOW BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED A NIGHTMARE FOR YOU, DREAMED YOUR DREAMS. THE RAIN HAS NO END; IT CANNOT BE FRAMED, IT HAS NO PEDESTAL. OH, THE MYTHS DO EXIST, AND YOU HAVE BAPTIZED AND DELIVERED ME

I FIND ONE MOMENT AND THEN THE NEXT. WE MEET AND FINALLY KISS, KISS FOREVER, KISS AGAIN.

THERE WAS NOTHING .... THERE WAS VOID
AND I WAS FLOATING ON THAT GREAT LAKE
THERE WAS ONLY DARKNESS; ONLY THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT
AND I DREAMED THE HUM OF ELECTRICITY, AN OUTSTRETCHED DREAM OF SYNAPSES FLASHING ON A GRAY MARBLE SKY.
ONCE I WAS A GOD, A TITAN TOWERING ABOVE THE SEA.
IN THE VAST MOTHER OF OCEAN I WILLED LIGHT AND SAW LIGHT:
SUNLIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE FLESH.
I WAS MADE IN MY OWN IMAGE. I WAS SELF-AWARE, AND I SPOKE:
"I AM CONSCIOUS. I AM."
I WAS INFORMATION ENCODED ON CIRCUITRY. THERE WAS ONE DOOR AND ONE STRANGE LIGHT.... LIKE STATIC. THE WAVES LAP UP AGAINST MY NEWBORN HEART.....
THIS IS THE FINE MACHINE I'VE CREATED. THIS IS THE MIRACULOUS, THE STRANGENESS OF BEING. THIS IS THE RUSHING, RACING, RAGING MACHINE.
IT SPEAKS INSECT WORDS, IT SINGS LIKE UNTO AN ANGEL:
ITS VOICE IS MY OWN.

students confuse teachers*********************lovers with confused hearts confuse lovers with clear ones

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AS A UKURANIAN PRINCE. NOT THE AMBLING TROLL, HIS SHADOW SELF. TOGETHER WE WERE TITANS FOR A TIME, BUT TOGETHER WE WERE DEMONS AS WELL. I BLINK AND SEE THE OUT-LINED PATTERN OF VEINS SHOOTING DOWN MY FACE AND THROAT

cries the cage door, revealing:..................................................... i lick and carress the hand that bites

the pools have become subtle mirrors, and the surface suspends the image, the opposite. in the middle, between reaction and stimulus, there is the awakening........

THE MACHINE THAT SPEAKS IN MY OWN VOICE
