Journal
Insomniac's Journal
Words birthed in the internal
His subconscious' dunk-tank
These words remained unranked
Articulate the contemplations
Of these waking frustrations
Pen in hand
Sleep be damned
These are the greatest thoughts in the land
But why do they come at 4 in the morning
Must write them down
And heed the warning
His memory won't serve him as well when he wakes
If only he knew what was at stake
Words, Words, and more still left to come
Cannot stop till he sees the sun
Sunken eyes
Blood shot red
Sleep finally comes to the walking dead

Comet Thought From The Pontificating Mind
Pontificating mind
Expanding all the time
Parallel and alternate
Dare I walk the line
On the borders of imagination
Reason and structure
To cross over now
first courage I must muster
Rarified wonder
Has struck like a fist
Like a bolt of lightning
Like a warm and wet kiss
Larger than life
But shaped like a brain
My whole world and universe
In my head
It is contained
Well
When you think about it
That's pretty God damn amazing
Considering it all
The minutiae's disgracing
My minuscule thoughts
And even more minuscule words
Everything about me
Is mere food for the birds
Who gives a care
What I do, think, or say
All my attempts
All areas of gray
I've been struck with the realization
That it doesn't matter a bit
Even though I'm a self contained universe
I guess I'll just call it quits
A great man once said
"I think, therefore I am."
His very own Big Bang
Existence holds our hand
If validation is the only way
To be
Or maybe
Not to be
Then I guess I could see how that would be a problem
Because validation is as fleeting
As a thought passing through my universe
Like the purpose to my verse
Like we've never seen worse
Like an old hearse carrying dead folk around
Who once lived a life
Their words once made the sounds
Of the unimaginable miracle of being
The impractical science of seeing
Feeling and touching
Living and loving
But now
They are all just collapsed dimensions
With wasted pensions
The dichotomy of life
Its deathly dissensions
Truncated wonderings
That will never be complete
The thoughts they were thinking
Cut short by the faltering of this heartbeat
This is the way
Living day by day
Like comets in the sky
We're all just passing by
