 Short-hand Smorgawsboard (aka Schitzo-type)
My mother told me one day
The world would catch up with me.
I think I have come to the conclusion
The only way that will happen
Is if I take it with me.

Why is it that quick suicide is in-humane
And slow suicide,
Fat cholesterol,
Cigarettes,
And painful
Cancer,
Heart disease
Is sad, natural, and acceptable?

“Action makes thought; thought doesn't always precede action.
Some people can gripe and complain for years and never do a damn thing.” – Manea

Pessimist,
“No! I'm a Realist,
I'm reporting facts
On my observations,
And no optimist
Is a realist.”

Ah but a true realist can only speak to the past, projecting onto the future, is what makes one an optimist or a pessimist, and both are real looking back on the pasts they have projected.

Pessimist,
“A view of a friendly universe is nothing but a cop-out,
for all that is wrong with this world,
and lack of social responsibility to change it,
because it's not ‘all good.' ”

Use the power of
Words and tounge
Actions can turn
Into prophecy
Speak and act well
And projections can become
The change we want to see and be.

“A blank page is a friend who is always waiting to listen.” – Manea

Two and fro
Come and go
Which ways
Will end my days?
Doomed to rhyme
It is sublime
The energy
The subtly

“A blank word .doc is ALSO a friend always waiting to listen.” – Manea

The sound of the rain pelting the plastic of my hood
Brings back memories of camping
And the humidity,
Though it chokes me,
Makes me smile
From the thought of it
