~~~ This is how my stream of consciousness would be on drugs. (I guess)
Squeeze my lemons
trickle-down social insecurities
third world project
criminal justice injustice
three strikes or a home-run prison system
mutual terror
bucket list priority destroy the world
total absurdities
my mother was a fish
as I lay dying
experiment stream of consciousness
extreme mind fuck
non-required grammar
uncensored thoughts
under subconscious and comatose dreamlike visions
dormant and inert subliminal messages from the dark side
both dumb and smart need not apply
a comma here a period there
absent and dismissed obsolete comprehension
sent to hell
they’ll laugh from there while others remain in heaven bored to death
pitiful pride
useless words
inhumane humans
voting against clueless republicans
ignoring democracy
conservative donkeys living in the past way in the past
centuries behind
implanting fear bible in hand
frustrating progress
preventing advance
stampede of fools proclaiming preposterous promises
while the opposition opposes most propositions
cut to flashback to the future
where non-existing scripts kept unedited in perfect literary freedom
analyzed and approved with uneducated brilliance
free flowing
upstream rivers containing regrets that will get stuck
by the stubbornness of indifference
deviate back to my naked impure thoughts
where people will always find meanness in the words
offensive and crude
the interior monologue never meant to be heard
struggles to find the next line
stolen by a ghostwriter
wrestling to avoid a block that impedes his own free flow
a conflict of minds trying to invade
and plagiarize universal letters and words without legal ownership
voicing internal feelings
senseless emotions
unobtainable dreams
reserved only for exceptional persons with genuine talent
that cannot be bought or taught
eternal envy of simple minds
abundant in a world of mediocrity
where billions of people swim
unaware of misery or wealth but happier than the rest
conformism attracts health and joy
stream of consciousness
think and write whatever comes to mind
unfiltered and uninterrupted
unafraid of failure
absent of objectives
aimless freedom
oblivious of pleasing results
and disregarding unpleasant goals
arrive without traveling see all without looking do all without doing
and never become a pirate
no end in sight
no subject is forbidden
except nonexistent exceptions
majestic graffiti adorns the walls of a dark tunnel
wasted space
a desert on the ocean floor
as might as well describe my organs too
heart still palpitating
reversal of misfortune
tune for miss American imperialism capitalism colonialism
domestic love
universal hate
continuous flow
the stream found a dam
unanswered dialogue
voiceless speaker
overheard thoughts
one way conversation
never boring and never clear
I could go on forever until I die
whichever comes first
theories that violate logic
a brilliant mind required
with a bizarre succession of ideas
the hell with logical sequence
I lost my virginity to a whore
this is totally inconsequential and irrelevant
but that’s the point
if an acquaintance is reading
I guarantee this is fiction
the rest of you consider it true
you lose your virginity once
did I mention you’ll never find it back?
question marked with a perennial tattoo inserted in the interior walls of my eyelids
one thing leads to another
resume the obsolete task of building a lifetime of useless resumes
describe your failures instead
it’ll be more accurate
nothing makes sense when you write an autobiography that belongs to someone else
young and daring
freedom loving fearless punk
addicted to excesses
school he flunked
found love early
the free bird also found a cage
never ending bliss decreased
he then turned to rage
lost is the name such accomplished ignorant
no more crying I heard daughter downstairs indicating wise advice to kids
