A Recipe for Madness

First, take all your assumptions and conclusions, and throw them out.

Then, pass over all the possibilities of possibility

think through how you think

ask why to every why, and the whys of those 'why's.

By now (already) you should be well on your way to madness.

At this stage of utter befuddlement be sure to repel all that is definite

and continue in this state of oversaturated blankness.

If you are brought to any thoughts of 'truth' or a 'consistent reality'

ward off these thoughts as delusions of your lifelong training and conditioning.

You are brainwashed still, and need to purge with even more determination.

Hypoglossal Hyperboles

 It is the words that are the root of the problem

Not communication,

not how your body blocks mine as we cross paths

Nor the enticing gaze that sits on you

as you await your steadfast other half

No, it is the words

those incompetent fools

who command the caress of the tongue as it  

slides lightly around the inside of our mouths

playing victim, playing perpetrator

and it is we who give in to this game

pacified by the repeated stroke of their syllables,

surrendering to the construct    

of word, of language: of motion, of thought.

Stage 1: GERMINATION

 Let the decay of the mind mature into ripe soil to nourish new seeds of perception.
