reality is not an idea
it
needen't be treated
so gently
don't believe
in self-fulfilling
prophecy
"you create your own reality"
is just mommy saying:
"careful
or you'll ruin it" -- NO WAy
(or dad's excuse
for hitting her)
what's out there
is tough -- don't
gotta worry about it...
it's what's
inside
that's delicate.
---------------
an idea can be
shredded
with the slightest breath.
and built again
anew with
not much less
ideas leap on
way out ahead
of what our feeble
legs and arms
can keep up with
a brain fabricates
alternate realities
like a drunk
downs liquor
at a certain point you've
really gotta ask yourself:
"are these things worth
any more than cat shit?"
commence testing
-------
so treat yourself, bub
smash a window
hell smash a jaw
if you're prepared
to face what comes back
at you.
it don't matter how you
thrash
reality is
not offended,
not hurt, not upended
so go ahead and wail,
if ya like to bet
road of excess, palace of wisdom &etc.
better yet
try something out
that has an unknown ending
for sure

perfecto
complete
and sharp
and yet
brief
even
breezy
---------------------------
love
your reality
its a rugged bunch of
cusses
all sayin'
" shit
of course
we can take
all
the likes
of you got
to throw
pip "
seems to me
reality is just that
at the end
when
the pequod
sinks
out of sight
in moments
the great pacific
is back
on track
back to
her game plan
back to
"rolling like she rolled
10,000 years before"

yes
and also
from the inside
ideas are so fragile.
you have to
be quite delicate
with your own
ideas.
If you're contstantly
crashing about
like
a bull
the china shop
goes bust.
"a very disorganized mind" -- k. marx

i should add
too
the particular
addiction
our cultured class
has got
to tearing through
self-ideas,
which,
although it
feels very X-treme
and provides
hours
of painful enjoyment
in lonely times,
does
fuckall
for anybody else

ah yes the navel gaze
the self image
the reflection
not the problem unless
primped over
is it
and self absorption
as you pointed out
one place or other
should not
ever ever be confused
with narcissism
nars
like gays
happen
and
before
one has congealed
a complete self system
enough out of the mental gas ball
to see with distance
that you might have been otherwise
and so what is is
and largely
undoable afterwards
and zooo
to be held responsible
for anything
like being a nar
beyond knowing whats up
is foolish
and besides
too much trouble over this
is a good example
of self fingering
a function
of navel gazing
converted
by doers
into self improvement
protocals
that serve no social purpose
in as much as
the rest of uz
can deal with you
as is
so long as you
exchange rough equivalents
along the way
something
a navel gazer can never
really do
despite thoreau
like protestations
to the contrary
reports from deep inside the self
are more socially useless
the deeper they go
sure it helps other self spolunkers
get on down too
but out here and up here
the world turns
the klasses clash
the fait of nations
play thru each others hands
