Bye Bye 2014 and Caution: Realities Crossing
Bye bye 2014. I'm not going to post again until next year. I need a break. I need to take a mental vacation, I need cognitive relief. I need to go to Disneyland... mentally, I need to go to Disneyland, I need to escape into an ethereal resistant to a damning belief in universal entropy (abolish altruism and its privilege!). A lot of films will be watched and a lot of books will be read. Forecasting 2015 is going to be difficult because I'm not sure which idea tormenting me into paralysis I want to attempt to complete first. This isn't writer's block or anything like that. I'm always writing and now, I'm always painting and designing.
I'm always creating.
(Mott & 1st Street, Boyle Heights, USA)
Conflict always arises down here
One man from one life
Crosses paths with another man from one other life
Both have one but together none
They claim the road because their experience resides
6 In a prism that they couldn't imagine another one sharing
It is a petulant encounter, pettish and then violent
A woman and her beauty and vitality
Crosses paths down here with another woman
Both ideal and alluring, resplendent
If equality existed, they'd be equally enchanting
12 But both only know the superiority
Of the lives they lived, theirs, the only one
Both consumed by the compulsion to conquer
She owns the crossing and so does she
He has dibs on the crossing and so does he
The grandest place where realities meet
18 A dirt road meets with a brick road
Which intersects a granite road
Roads of cement, cobble stone, and grass
Roads of silver and gold
Travelled by bicycle, buggy, horseback
Travelled by every vehicle bound to the ground, any mode desired
24 All end down here, this crossing which is now a graveyard
Empty cars and trucks, dead horses, and bike wheels
Make great tombs and tombstones for the prideful
All of the travelers who never recognized and despised
All realities not in their purview, their imagination, their guise
Here they lie
30 And that's the reality I surmise
Now leave my crossing or it is here where you'll die
Here where you'll lie
This way I own
All alone
Leave mine and return home
