Flash memory, too



Words signals cast deliberately
with drive and intensity.
Just a blip on the radar screen
in the everyday scenes
of the eternal battle of Mindspace

bullets fire away
as our thought streams

travel from one person to the next,
jumping across the airwaves sent by texting genies

scanning near space
for a trace of the source of this heat wave
with a strong sense of a need to be intimate.

So, i change course
and erase my inhibitions with an elixir
which makes one remember or forget.

Then put on my boots and jet,
to a place i know
where even the blind, can find Hot babes galore.

And i, unlike a kid in a candy store
proceed to be particularly deliberate  

In my intention to evade and ignore Miss Foxxy

Alter my stride transform my glide path

Slightly more to the right
just out of sight

Of her friend downwind of the vent

Where i can sample the aroma
of her essence

Awakening ancient markers
of distant memories

My mind goes somewhere else

as next

i find myself as if in a trance,
centered in the dance floor

Awakening to Jungle drumbeats and rhythmic motions, leaping and swaying to a funky beat

Jumping up and down, head and shoulders arching back and forth …crying out in song,

Somehow it seems to pique your interest

As you pour your consciousness through your eyes
just as mine meet yours...

we cross swords

Say Yes, to take this chance!

Resolve this combat in the dance

Hand your drink to your girl and get down to it

Bust a move cop a groove,
Hit the floor
try to score for the One
to bring on the Fun  

We rocked it all night.

Almost like how it felt  

Feeling the warm sun on my skin  
On a cold day while sheltered from the wind


Flash forward, somewhere throughout  
The course of humanity. Time stopped.  

Our conversations evolved
to being almost exclusively divided
into small close-knit family units.  

As if casually mind-dropped into the future

It seemed maybe things were really getting somewhere,

with the realization times had changed

The socio=economic reality had been irreversibly,  
Socially, culturally and structurally rearranged

Keep the Change. Find your partner

Bump and grind and in no time,
get a job, hit the bricks

find THE girl who rocks your world

Bump or switch, keep it real

Get your fix until it sticks,
and you can deal with it

Get hitched, start a family

See how far you can go in a career,
if you have the luck and skill
or the drive to fulfill your destiny

Raise your kids to be successful

And not do half the foolish things
that you did to get your kicks.

Yes, tricks are for kids!

Putting it back into perspective

We begin to remember how it was
in the beginning

Our people skills were direct and meaningful

We were in love with the life we lived

Nothing less.
Finding if we were loved fed and safe,
we were blessed.

Then, dropped into the time warp.
We leapt from the was/into the want to be

cast into the void in flux, cascading past endless equations.

By the luck of the draw,
we pass through the undefined moments,

catch the drift of something not quite certain.
What does this conditional awareness bring to the equation?

How does your mind process this? Myriad micro bits of data
accessed from the array of resident sensors,  

Finely tuned thoughts,
dying to be expressed continually,

calling you out.  

Interdimensional prayers answered,
held fast between the extreme’s life/death.

Living a reality crossing from one dimension to the next.
Take your cue. Hold your breath.

Your mind/ body interface has been addressed correctly

by protocols, messages, beyond the event horizon.

Bringing them into paths/orbits,

which the coded sequence from depths within your spirit=soul,

Decode naturally…

We gesture one another in signs,
align spiritually

Dependent on visions/derived from master codes of life,

the core of what we are, not who

Inter+ dimensionally,
at the periphery of consciousness,  

We ourselves and others recognize  

That which/what we call ourselves  

Nothing in comparison to the complexity  

Of a thing we measure beyond visual acuity.  

Which brings us to  

The greatest pleasure in this life.  

What it is… to love
