Paris Jackson

this veritable unknown bad man in the mirror

would likewise beat it behind the mask

ben writhing in pain to feel best of joy

for (i can't make it) another day without billie jean

in this black or white

whirled wide webbed world

whereby hypnosis breaking news

like dangerous butterflies effects

ben tormented thus this earth song

time and again experience ye that doth

give in to me, sans like a loved one

gone to soon

but my spirit does want to heal the world

for tis only human nature

to feel claustrophobic shuttered in the closet

all a jam and smothered

yet...please keep the faith

and keep your head up

for tis much to soon

to erase off the wall memories

that perhaps one day in your life

pretty young thing, would will remember the time

happiness did roll and rock with you

like a rockin' robin, though now ye rankle

like a stranger in moscow

concluding supposed guardian angels

they do not care about us

minor bit players on the global stage

self reflection finds me wondering

if this is it blinded by unasked for fate

to be blinded in the limelight

haint no thriller

cuz...honestly, i wanna be startin' somethin' fresh

like...paris in springtime

then upon winter of moi descent

into the dimension beyond life

wondering if you will be there.

shuffling back where buffalo used to roam, or trudging

to common all purpose gathering place)

when caught blindsided, within bright lights

of an automobile 'ere

unsure which way to go, and dashing out

in the thick of evening rush hour traffic,

A dauntingly difficult answer to one simple straight forward question

When the missus (i.e. wife, honey bunches of wheat squares, spouse, et cetera posed the following personal query rephrased in Matt's poppycock, psychobabble speak blah...blah...blah - “how do you react, when told x, y, z, persons cares about thee regarding thyself?”), no immediate response could be forthcoming.

The fill in the blank (asper family member, friend, perhaps relative...) seemed equally stupefying, no matter whose name switched within that parameter.

Hence, I sought out the sanctuary wherein the ancient Iranian-speaking prophet who taught innovations on religious traditions, what would develope into the religion of Zoroastrianism, and thus spake Zarathustra with me in utmost confidentiality, high fidelity, and privacy, whose buzzfeed ding cant be reiterated verbatim, but such argot best couched in pitter patter blather immediately idenfied as Matt-speak.

An emotional warmth emanates within me, when terms of endearment directed at yours truly. Unlike my totally tubularly uncomfortably numb teenage wasteland years (particularly the serious bout with anorexia nervosa, when the death defying sparring partner seemed closed to calling the shots), any flattering comment from a classmate peer aged pretty young thing, who suprisingly managed a feeble utterance out the mouth of severely anxious adolescent whose knees felt they would buckle underneath him, this middle liege serf (shackled to thee mastermind of sovereign banking persona within thine psyche), would be more emphatic at the positively pointed persiflage, and perchance feign to babble, blinker, or blubber complete “FAKE” embarassment. nowadays a similar commentary (addressing affinity, cupidity, ethnic gratuity) voiced via a relation or anonymous stranger, the pleasant ring of adoration toward this weather beaten ship of state would most likely generate a smile.

Unbeknowst to thyself why the dramatic disparity whence wife hoar other female would communicate commensurate elan, gladness, interest, et cetera prevails.

A greater (immeasurable, yet greater degree) self esteem most definitely much more pronounced page number two: these day of mine existence.

Self acceptance asper the many glaring weaknesses (at least to these myopic eyes). Less hankering engenders approval, commplimentary feedback, general inspiration from others.

When attuned to genuine heartwarming innuendoes, a warmth doth suffuse this body electric, and subsequent aspiration to curry, finagle, induce kindness motivates outlier quintessentially raising the value yin/yang ambition desiring gift.

Joy leavens my obdurate quality sensing uber worthiness yoked to individual accomplishments, which entail completing a writing assignment, reading a issue of TIME magazine (cover to cover), discoursing about meaty thought provoking topics, et cetera.

Along same or similar metaphorical vein incorporating pleasantries from (preferentially a gal of no specific creed, race, religion, and so on), no wedding gate crashing, roiling, quivering, pulsating, oozing, needling mandating liberating, kickstarting, jangles, invites horniness.

Thee libido of mine (pray tell) took a kamikaze nose dive soon after be prescribed a gamut of pharmacological reuptake inhibitor medications. Hence any reference averred (explicitly from the woman who pledged her troth and help beget two beautiful daughters) receives negligble sexual reaction.

Since the marked diminution of coitus, fellatio, insertion of vasogcongested phallus, la dee da, I vouchsafe that intercourse occurs with this primate as often on par with a feckless gecko, a generic eunoch, or geode, which translates as a zero cum game depriving thee bride from twenty plus years ago, who probably gets frustrated to infrequently savoring verboten fruit.

Vertiginous view

High athwart global sphere planet Earth doth app pear

tubby totally tubular as a mere twinkling gem devoid of lesions

from hare brained schemes to exploit near Gaea, where

sound blasted to rob (point blank

with no criminal sentence), especially when conglomerate

conspiratorial corporations violated most every truce

boot at bottom, any vow to tender flora and fauna,

a dead letter steeped in violations ruse vitiated

prior drafted conservation pacts signed, sealed

and delivered with “faux” obeissance

uttering lame excuse in an effort to squeeze and seize

(by aggressive means if necessary), the goose

that laid golden eggs intended to line deep purple pockets –

brushing aside accusations with VAMOOSE,

particularly to marginilized Native Americans

already a shadow of their former glory,

but production even at the expense of slo-mo

genocide annihilation a road block

to sought after mineral deposits juiced

waiting for opportunity to rake landscape

bare as the Moon (with a eh “No big deal attitude)”

indiscriminately sowing seeds of bleakness, via uprooting, scraping,

and pulverizing plants and animals

such as Bull Winkle the moose and crown

such egregious destruction claimed as righteousness

purportedly pinpointed within religious texts

to render unto haven of innocent creatures,

and other organic life, the God sent email

to reduce once resplendent oblate spheroid,

now nothing but a wasteland even a nightmare to Doctor Zeus!
