This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

When you touch a guitar
Sounds I’d never imagine come out
Even the most well known song becomes crisp, clear, and new
Your guitar sings like a song that cannot be written
Cannot be pinned down to notes and ink and paper
Like every note you pluck is new
Dare I say simple and clean?
If only you’d stop staring at the tv and see me
But you’ll never see me
Believe me
Is it perfect?
I hope it’s perfect
The life you’re viewing right now
I can’t know, can only see what you show
Like your guitar
I wish I could watch you play for hours
Just see the motion of you for some time
Maybe longer than a moment
I wish I could see you for longer than a moment

Dear Chester,
Today I thought of you while watching a video of a Chihuahua that was walking while also taking a piss
The dog’s name was Chester
You pop in at the most interesting moments
I think you would have enjoyed the video
They won $10,000, it was on AFV
But you’re not here so you didn’t even have the chance to see it
You’re missing so much
You missed two years shut in your house with your family
How would you have been?
I think of you often your name, which I seldom recognised before, has turned into an instant reminder
Chester no one plays your music anymore
I miss your music
Some of them I can still listen to without feeling like I’m being yelled at
It’s a long story
I miss you

Don’t tell the Sun I’m cheating on him with Saturn
And sometimes Vega
And never Jupiter
Probably
Such nonsensicals
It is the truth that the planets and stars are the only ones who get to know the depth of my love for them
Poured into thick in and dripping over the pages
I can love them with a deafening silence, with a silence scream, and never feel judgement for it
Never care whether rocks and balls of fire care for love
If you could know my joy upon seeing them,
Simply by knowing they are here with me
My twinkling diamonds, my precious stones
Imagine if they were really mine
What a world I would make

Oh Sun I’m going to miss you
You’re down below the line and I didn’t even get to see you much today
Just a wink below the line and I can no longer see you
How I miss you when you’re gone
How I can’t stand you when you’re here
Too big, too bright, too on fire
Too much until you’re gone and then I’m left without you and what is that?
Winter, winter, nights. They come in so sneakingly.
Oh Sun we fucked up the weather
It is almost mid October and I didn’t need a coat today
Even the trees are confused and the only think showing me it is in fact Fall is
You’re not here in the evening to greet me
Oh how I’ll miss you Sun.
Into the arctic winter.

It really does escape me
This drive to hurt other people
Becoming inhumane themselves to hurt others
And for what reason?
I have never disliked someone enough to try to hurt their life
Quite simply it escapes me why someone would use that much energy
I only almost passed out several times over the last few days
How do they have that much energy?
Such effort.
It makes me wonder if they have any joys in their life

Sometimes I feel like I’m following an ancient path through the world
Yet I feel more advanced
Advanced is the wrong word but I hesitate to say awoken, because others have co-opted it
I feel like I’m following a path my ancestors set
And not the ancestors like great great there are too many, these were the people who fought against the Christian tyranny
My ancestors who are gone because of their One God
I feel like I’m on this path but I don’t know my meaning
I can’t change people they simply be… Humans
I wish I lived in a world where there were many different species of not quite humans
Perhaps I would find my own kind
Wishful wisps lost in the darkness that is our world and the state of humanity
Couldn’t they just be nice to eachother?
I hear the teachings of non corrupted cultures
I wonder how history tried to snuff them out
The universe made me and I looked back and see
What a world it could be
If only, if only.
