shaking and striped, nation in my


Away, away, says love.  Closer, closer, says hate. 

Things are in a perennial state of grey and all of those who laid bets that I would somehow survive are going to be quite disappointed.  It is unexpected to wake up to these glassy interiors; a part of me must believe that with the night and sleep will come some mystical change, altering everything into a mistaken belief of purity of perfection.  It was my own heart working in sickening tandem with my diseased brain that set this trap and now there is no true means of escape aside from the obvious option.  That path generates a flood of positive emotions but who can truly be sure of its viability?  I wonder how much knowledge will actually be granted to me by death’s release.  All this gnashing of teeth is taking me nowhere.  I don’t suppose there remains any chance of being forgiven.  One and two are gone and I know he imagines that a third would be quite the charm.  But if three are good then four must be great and five must be stellar and so on and so forth.  It is all basic arithmetic, right?  We are seeing the language of a much high being.  I am hungry and terrified.  He does not have the strength to combat anything.  Reality has ceased expressing his (her?) self.  Don’t be so brave to talk about the fiction of your salvation.  You are going to be regretting things for a very long time and you’re only going to have a couple ideas on how to cope and they are both bad. 

Why does everyone look so sad and miserable?

Perspective is a strange thing.  I’m walking through very well-lit corridors and I see zombies all around me.  It is a beautiful thing to be closed away somewhere.  For every one that is removed I feel as though a pin is dropping somewhere and a considerable weight is being lifted.  It would be fitting to say I traveled with him and in an instant his wishes became my wishes and I was somehow able to see them through to fruition.  Everyone knows who they truly are.  Once you scrape away all the pretensions no one is able to fully pretend.  I think it must be quite a shock to obtain so much and to think you’ve made real something that previously only existed in dreams only to find that you are rapturously more miserable than ever.  I’m flooded with arrogance and laugh at failures.  Everyone is losing their capacity for kindness and I wish they would remove those masks of skin so I can see what they really look like underneath.  I’m sure we would be much more comfortable, able to breathe a little better.  There is the glorious sound of metal on metal and it is all I can do not to scream at the top of my lungs.  He thinks of something popping with great force and all that fragrant irretrievability which would spring forth and give life to such ruinous origin.  Oh sweet muse, this was also a necessary subtraction.  Your number has not yet been counted.  A million of me are essentially worthless, a million of each of them even less.  No, maybe we should flip that around.  People are earning their faces through dedication.  You need to tell me why any of this is happening because I can no longer relate to all these increasingly bizarre constructs.  Have you made peace with his inherent uselessness?  What did the rain look like when you were shining such a bright light on it?    

We live in the void of metamorphoses. 

And this is the bit of vital information, right?  This is when we realize that no one – not a single person – is a saying a damn thing.  There is no relevant information being passed around, only mindless white noise.  There are daggers going through my brain and they make it difficult to think.  All that color saturation worked wonders however.  Things inside are saying jump and something tells me I should be putting on an impeccably tailored navy blue suit.  He’s sinking and no one can tell him the right way.  What are the correct words to say to be left alone?  Let us keep inserting things directly into our brains that we may feel much less the foul tugging of our rotten spirits.  I think the same people have confessed to me the same things over and over again and we’re all spinning around and there are plastic horses with red eyes nearby and when they talk it is in a very deep voice and I can often hear it when I close my eyes.  He doesn’t want to say things anymore; it is a much too mean and painful act.  I’m living inside a black and white photograph.  Is anyone else feeling unusually weak in the knees?  There is a strange type of double vision taking place (though that’s probably not the right word) wherein I am looking at things through my eyes at the same time I am outside myself and looking at myself from across the room or fifty feet above it.  Neither of these vantage points feels real but both make me want to vomit.  I think I met someone today who felt real and I think I talked to this someone for a few minutes and but I’m not anywhere near positive about that.  And then just like that I smell smoke mixed with bubblegum and it is somehow the best thing ever.  We are mute from one moment to the next and things move slow and I am not sure if they are ruined entirely or not but I think they are.  I am laughing hysterically over how unbelievably awful everything is and I remember the sage words of an ancient king and they ring in my head and then I’m clenching my fists because my mind is too tight and I feel like crying and nothing feels good anymore but he is going to embrace that hairy old monster and they will laugh together. 

This is a dangerously psychotic man in the corner there and I think someone needs to exterminate him with great haste lest we all run the risk of catching his cerebral infection.
