Tear in the Curtain

give me extremes, give me excess,
to hell with temprance, sobriety and success.

fuck contentment, peace and rationality,
cleanliness, order, health and
feelgood sentimentality.

prudence, planning, straight roads, business ties, cubicles...
roooooowwsss of urinals!

why these platitudes, these reasons,
this purpose business.

no more reasons, no more excuses

stop trying to defend this divine cerebral spasm called existence!

just let it be!
raw unadulterated reality.

let it flow down like water falls
and echo with wild animal calls
let it rise like mighty snowcapped mountains
and spring up like subterrainean fountains

wrench these dreamers from their slumber
with shrieking lightning and calamitous thunder
tear this peaceful world of illusions asunder...

much too raw and teenage I know, oh well, it stays as it is...

I like how we make twelve posts and 80 comments in less than a week, and then everybody just kinds of gets tired of it for a while, and stops. We have the weakest staying power...
We're like the blog version of John. No staying power.

For the sake of all that is good and holy- Don't arouse my wrath, Mia.
What did I tell you about that?...
I warn you.
This is the last there'd better ever be on the subject. Ever.
John has Syphilis. If you touch John in the wrong 'way', you get Syphalis. Case closed.
Jest is Just that, jest.
Now leave it at that.
Jest.

FYI- this is one of those times...Jest.
