Fast Light
A lot of strange things have been going on in my life... a bit chaotic and jarring, I was happy to find myself in a better place recently, mentally and such. Anyway, here's what I wrote about it... let me know what you think.
Fast Light
Slow and soft and unexplained
this spark began its race.
Quick and fast it grew upon
the flesh that stayed in place.
Flashed on vines and bark and bones
it ripped and bit and tore.
Now dash and fly and scare away
before you fuel it more.
So fear and pain and blazing heat,
they nip upon your heels?
Better there than else, of course
you could become its meal.
Behind you now a forest burnt
but bodies breath within.
It's there, beneath the canopy,
that you will live again.
So turn to gaze and look inside,
and see the embers glow.
Their softened light presents a new,
and emptied space to grow.
whoa… i just got a groovy idea.
From now on, i'm going to write down strange thoughts that I want to have in the coming weeks. Once I have a slew of those thoughts written down, i'm going to start tweeting them out to the world. Starting with the thoughts that I have from now on... but buffered for ~30 thoughts before sending them off into the ether. -- disregarding their accuracy. It's going to be fantastic!
Don't you get it! I'll be tweeting from the list of fake tweets that I haven't even thought of yet, because it's only going to be a list of strange thoughts that I *want* to have, not a list of strange thoughts that i've *actually* had...
In this way I will be creating an alternate possible universe that i'd rather be living in... and everybody but me will think I'm actually living in that alternate universe. Think of it as reverse schizophrenia... on everybody!
(Note to self: perhaps someday they'll remember this type of bizarre behavior as my very own "vigorous and strange brand of Total Control -- gonzo marketing..." and they stay up nights wondering if they've been duped before, since, or historically... by this rambling lunatic.)
