Fuck it.
Man.
Well I have sunk back into conscious control. Yup. Straight as a Euclidean line. Got my cigarettes. Got my coffee. I have my seething, fluted mind.
This is not an answer.
NO.
nonononononononononono
and
nah nope no way.
I remain unmoved, I remain uninvolved, I am NOT absorbed I am NOT distracted.
Well fucking happy times people, give me a fist full of blood and a mirror to paint it on, Christ I have nothing better to do.
Staring equanimity bullshit, sweating faded and stuck in the corner holding a wilted plastic flower.
I’d be bored to within millimetres of my life if I could just stop thrashing against mortality.
Never knew a kindred fugue an awkward soul a trance of reciprocal piteous recognition, not then not now you can’t fold someone else into your own cramp.
Hope drags around my ankles and makes me walk funny and I suspect, smell bad.
Watch while I age and fade and
BLOW MY NOSE ON A PRAIRIE DOG AND THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW OF A MOVING CAR
Gotta be something else –escape is worse because it ends it ends it must has to implicit in the fine print written on the side of the bottle next to the syringe with the oh yeh gambling chips and LET’S NOT FUCKING FORGET
the self-delusion
that latter the latter which was later I have never gulped with both hands I have not supped nor slipped myself a sip in the sucking slide toward the damned dawn.
It is always THE HAPPIEST LIFE IS TO BE WITHOUT THOUGHT –
Sophocles
And HE had fleas.
Quid opus est [artes deflere? Tota flebilis vita est.
“what need is there to weep over parts of life? The whole of it calls for tears.”
Seneca.
And he was actually really fucking cool despite the toga when it wasn’t keg night.
Any awkward souls kin if not in fugue in the extremity itself.., emotion?
extrmes…. lovers that hurt like blood is the least like pain is breath like sex is as close as we come to being life and not living life

fanatical fantastical farcical farfetched fanatical feeling(i said fanaticalthat twice because i care)
when i meet others of my race, they tell me their secrets. they tell me their passions and the dark things that they have done. they tell me the wonders of kindness that they have graced the world with. i who so rarely if ever shuts the fuck up – rumours abound of my sleep-talking but i don’t believe them, i wasn’t THERE!
i have so much hope. i am passionate in my conviction that the future is, for our race and planet, exquisitely positive. this is through careful reason. it is happy alamity that there is a unity betwixt my reason and the font/geyser of my hope. (convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies – voltaire)
i know terrible things, not only of so very, very many individuals, but because of the hundreds of confessions and cries that i have been somehow invited to bear witness to, terrible because of their commonality.
what i write of here is something else evinced clear as a carbon-grid-pure diamond, and that is that… though i share almost all nuance of almost all feeling (i am a man; nothing human is alien to me – michel demontaigne), i have never met a woman whose passion flares and hurts and hurts endless; extant… unbearable.
and i wold love such a woman were she to love me. And it would be the worst horror of each of our lives.

Hey Paul, I dont think I am intelligent enough to understand or comprehend this passage. I have read it a couple of times now..and still dont get it. There is frustration there I glean but i think it probably stems from me not being able to understand it. And that is not from any wrong on your part. I just think you are of a higher intelligence and your ability to articulate is just astounding. Anyway..hope..and pray you are well. x

I think I’ll need to chew on this one awhile (in a good way).

added more to it….
though probably not enough…

Ah Seneca – watched something about him on tv the other day. Did you know he suggested start each day off pessimistically? This was in Alain De Botton’s series “Consolations of Philosophy” (http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=588682) and it was brilliant the way De Botton tested this out of a CEO lady – she felt a lot better by the end of the week because her expectations weren’t so high. VERY interesting!
pauldrobertson replied
no he didn’t start pessimistically…. he suggested that we accept the things that could be the worst to happen to us. and then each that we had was a wonderful gift…
that’s not pessimistic!
i don’t know the doco though and i am splittting hairs. you know what i mean…
oh i read that book a few years ago.
he seemed like a lovely fellow. thank you for the link

“Staring equanimity bullshit, sweating faded and stuck in the corner holding a wilted plastic flower.”
OK. I’ve chewed a bit and have a question: What color is the flower? (really) ;P
I’ll come back after I sleep on it – your words, not the flower. [grin]
Marcella Chestnut
Oops, I didn’t see your response (as you posted it the same time I posted mine).
My reaction to your additional words… [Gasp! Slow sigh…] Marvelous, Paul!
So much depth that it deserves more thought, hmmm… and more sleep hopefully.

Is it love … sexual or otherwise that does these things to us! I always believed that you should give and give and turn yourself into the person you thought they wanted – then they don’t want it and you’re ground into the ground under the heel of the f**r that told you you were the greatest thing since sliced bread and you are chewed up and spat out to lie under the lies that they believe as absolute truth ….... my answer – I grew OLD and now I just don’t give a fuck! It is soooo liberating!
xxfaithxx
holy friggen fantastic!!!!... depth, core, reason, insane and love…... and ur still here? bravo!
