I live on the border of ten
or more worlds
my bare foot skin engulfing the
electrical wires of world-separation.

I move too fast along the wires;
I can not pause to see what i am.
I move too fast and I can not
feel my body anymore.

I can see all around. At times
the landscape and my state is
such that I see everything as one,
Otherwise I inspect individual
worlds by:

imagining my latent self-in-that-world.
I see her and in these bursts of
dream-real emotional ecstasy I Am
her for the hour
until my feel creep along the metal
to seize the mind of the next
Self of a world and ogle Her.

When I stop.
Of course, I feel the gravity of
decision upon my skin.

It appears, to put it bluntly,
that everyone Worthwhile has
decided and sunk headlong into
one or another ecstasy.
Professionals.

I am unable to join a Group Meeting.
I am unable to speak a Biography
without getting confused and
inventing things.
I wonder if it inhibits my Progress.
I have conversations about Prozac
and about alternate energy and
and and and

Prime Time TV makes me angry
and abnormal. I do not want Anger
I want Humor and to abandon my narcissistic verbal compositions.

a latent self radiates sex.
another writes poetry tirelessly and lives in a room-cave with tattered
walls and does not eat.
another sees clearly and spells out in sharp thought the moral shortcomings
of Powers.
another worships evolution around the clock.
another loves the ones she is with, and drinks rum-wit.
another collects kelp and braids it into wrist bands, floats in cold ocean
talks to sheep
finds her own poetry dishonest and obnoxious

threatens her loved ones with vicious, loveless eye. they refuse to conform

to her world.

I have decided for the moment that the world as it has defined itself in
the past twenty two
years does not require or prefer the delineation of oneself as a particular
Type, and
furthermore, that one can benefit and prosper Psychologically ie attain
Truth and Peace
by adhereing if one must, only temporarily and with mossy lightness to any belief.

I release love swiftly and unpredictably.
I have more than enough material in here to keep myself entertained for my
current life span:
Lucky me!
