    obviously I don't take my prose too seriously... I just like writing....

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    It severed and spurt and sprayed all around
    twirling and swirling all the way down
    I cast my eye that way and scratched my head
    ...and stared.
    Puzzled, "wait...shouldn't I be dead?"

    Can I live without that?
    I thought to myself
    and reached for a thumbtack
    I had brought with myself

    I picked up the vein
    dangling with my eye
    Am I insane...
    ...did this fall from the sky?
    It's still warm
    It's still soft
    It's still dripping red sauce

    not or impervious, I must be blessed
    head full o' thoughts you KNOW I just detest.
    Alright, calm down, there is an explanation.
    Somewhere, Gotta be, as I ran along the station.

    The bus clanked and steamed
    as I jumped from the green.
    Stomp
    Step

    ...

    Stop...

    ...

    ...Plop

    The conductur waved goodbye with a light hearted throw
    Kinda looked like Carlin, back when he did Blow
    Back on my feet with a handful of meat I ran to the store for a bucket of ice
    Then I walked to the clinic where I took a seat, left row, third in, to be precise

    Nobody stared, they had problems of their own
    like a lady with a cigarette burned through her bone
    or the man who's foot had combined with that stone
    or the kid home alone who swallowed the phone
    A dog bit her ear off
    he busted his foot
    burned with a shear cloth
    an eye full of soot
    two busted ankles, shattered his hip
    premature babies
    chapped upper lip


    My problems not meanin' much, I sat and enjoyed
    some cheap ninja flick called "search and destroy"
    a nurse came and got me and threw me in her van
    Then I fell down the stairs and was buried in the sand

    Some bunny with blue eyes yelled my mother's name
    and thats when I realized I was going insane
    flaming cacti, huge dog food snowmen
    I think i did die, I just didn't know then

    my eyes are all fuzzy my brain all a mess
    I can't see next sunday, I can't wear that dress

    I suppose it works out since I'm a guy
    a natural reflex that sucked me in the sky
    I looked to the sun and squinted my eyes
    and let out a sneeze and what did I see fly?

    Another fucking vein falling to the floor
    Another bout of pain for my noggin to endure
    This time I laughed and brushed it off nice
    and picked up the eyeball and put it on ice.

    Blind as a bat my mind still perplexing
    thinking the scene that I was discecting
    How had I seen that?
    My second eye fly?
    Or had I dreamed that?


    ...Sigh...


    Tired of waiting I walked out the door
    grabbed an umbrella and tapped to the store.
    I spent all my money, I spent all my cash
    Got a record collection, a nice little stash

    As I lay silent, laying into the night
    I dream silent dreams, not thought of my sight
    my ears are ringing such a heavenly sound
    that heavenly sound that is all around you
    I need not eyes, not browns or blues
    not closed or thin or open to see you
    Sound
    The nectar of life, to use as we choose to
