think only of what it is that is thinking

C#54


mercurialt the birth the death
the is no complete, there is no "no"
only this lightning fast millennium
only this outraged heart.


there are only so many things one can say
before life feels repetitive. try to enjoy 
life and listen to those who talk you might
learn something new that you never could
have thought of if you didn't just list
new stuff living life so listen


REALLY...

what bitter truth is  there than

love? the truth is out there.

This too shall pass.
They say love carved
in a plastic milk jug lasts
longer than love

hi there my name is
start again the ink on this is clogged up 
with playa dust. we are from wales, a great 
and wet place. so surviving for a week
in a desert has been interesting
and hard in some ways. this week has been 
all about extremes, of weather, of emotions. 
truly sensory overload

when i realized i forgot my trash 
compactor and mine clearing handbook.
back in Nam this would have cost me 
a leg and a testicle.

do you remember my

words poems heart pain
light up please
i had a dream and then i woke up


Light, illumination. Opening portals of

knew existed.

as you read this
you will hear me count backwards
from ten, 9, 8, 7
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, ONE...
open your eyes, you are
in the hypnosis class and
it is wednesday at 530
the rest of burning man
and this one sentence

now you know 
how to meet even more
beautiful people on the playa

Our leases extend only to our cries
they are too great and our urge to sleep
too strong to live, then, as an immortal,
for no loss is as great as that 
of the promise unfilled

B#19

the thing about love and time

that gets my goat is that they are at odds
one seemingly infinite and the 
other clearly finite.

I don't necessarily remember the people
I love, the places that mark time
sometimes sleep brings them back
sometimes work pricks thoughts up

these prompts are kind of like
cereal or underwear

people made them up to cover mysteries
that wouldn't leave them alone

in the morning when I wake I am
without memory and 
filled with time

To love is to share all of yourself. The
good and the bad; and accept those in return.

i very desperately need someone to squeeze

LOVE YOU!

Hi there,
my treasure fear in the world is that i will
develop alzheimer in my old age 
and won't remember my life. i guess in 
the end we are left with nothing. so to 
those i won't remember i say "i love you, i love you".

A#30


epilogue
I learned
that fear equals pain
and pain causes fear
I ripped a demon from 
my back a black snake
and I left it on the playa
wind

"The time has come" he said to himself,
as he stepped through the barrier of
his own self doubt.

I was born on the back of the man on the moon,
and my hands are made of glass and my fingers
made of spoons. i always feel like I am speaking
too soon

it surrounds us in a friendly way

A#17

I run around looking for the friend
My life is almost over yet still I sleep.

Outside of a dog
a book is man's best friend
inside of a dog it is too dark to read

ha ha ha ha haha ha ja ha ha ha ha
Let's read few things, hopefully. For me:
always take new drugs with friends in
a safe environment. First experience with
ecstacy on the Playa with a stranger
an exercise in emotional breakdown.
Fortunately, good friends were on hand
and they were able to get me to a safe
location where I was able to come down
if not in comfort, then at least with
familiar faces. I'm fine now. Probably
not doing E again. Sticking to beer and
weed. Or, maybe, staying sober.

Burning Man is brilliant You are
brilliant. Ruby is brilliant. This
reminds me of Barton Fink.

The add sets in and
here we are, speeding and
bouncing into the glowing
night trying to see
everything before the
sand shifts and it's
gone. I know I won't
see half of it, as
I'm too busy watching
the goddamn fireworks
coming from the city.

C#303

The moon is full.

The breeze is warm.
There.

There is nothing more to be said
at this juncture.

finally u reach this mindframe
that allows just 2 b
and at this specific moment u simply r your self
sitting on a very high chair in total
darkness using a small flash light and
writing yourself outside... beautiful. sweet

and it never stops.
it goes on and
on

Is there a purpose to evolution? Does the
runaway process play out eventually?

The sun is setting over the mountains behind me.

I can see the lightrecede accross the playa
A man walks alone towards the light

Subjective v. Objective
Chaos v. Order
Internal v. External
Growth v. Decay
Honor v.

Invest in food.

Brandish your spite at the inaction
the decadence
the futility

and let me know how that works

Babyfish isn't my real name

Who left this gas mask here?

I came to the desert and I tried to typea note
but I found more beauty in something my own hand wrote

D#180

On high, an angel descended
with a wreath of flare
"Forever a burden thou shall bear
You who know no content"

Day 2
Stared into people's eyes this morning
at this class at the Ascension Camp.
I am surprised, two people remarked
on how kind and funny I look.
Then I passed the water truck while
biking and got someof the dust out of
my skin, this stuff gets everywhere!
I'm having a good time though I wish Kelsey
was here.
We should have waited in Reno and picked
her up.

but i miss my dogs :(

C#301

The Plata is serene...
The playa can be pretty lonely.
It is a good place to cry and to think.
But I guess good art makes you do
things like that.

This typewriter reminds me of my old
friend Alisa Starr, who makes snarky
postcards with a typewriter in
Portland.

Sometimes at Burning Man I am reminded
that I am not invincible, and it
really pisses me off. I hate
asking for help, but I am learning to
do it sometimes.
I feel better now. Thanks Mr.typewriter

these days, with my back turned to the man,
with clouds at I level,
the strength to keep,
stays with me.
it is staring me in the face
discounting and building me up,
the force is neutral,
indifferent to perfection,
spoiling for necessity.
It teases you with the Flow,
creating the perfect Matron.
then cradles away your hopes and fear
these days, with my back turned to the man,
with clouds at I level,
the strength to keep is waning,
and it stares at me in the face.
indifferent to perfection,
the fish swim away,
spoiling with necessities.
teasing you with the flow,
it creates the perfect matron,
cradling away as your hopes and fears grow stale.
these days, with my back turned to the man,
with clouds at eye level,
i will the strength to keep,
as it stares me in the face,
indifferent to perfection.
the fish swim away,
creating the perfect matron,
cutting through the playa dust
with a bright sad glow.
thank you for this perspective.
