I thought I was civilized, but really
I'm just an animal. Humans are beasts. Nobody has a soul, and no
one ever did! Am I a lion? A chimp? A dolphin? A dog? A shark?
A fish? A sole! A star: A sol. Asshole.
I'm not an asshole. I'm not a brain,
either. I'm an entire body. Not a dick, not left behind, I won't be
right back; I'm not armed and dangerous; I'm not footing the bill,
fingering a suspect, elbowing anyone aside, thumbing my nose at
anyone; I have the balls to tell you this. No one knows what it's
like to be the sad man, behind blue eyes (middle finger). We are the
knights who say “knee”! The soles of my feet will not be
defeated! I have a Theory Of Everything. I speak in tongue. Maybe
you hate my guts. I will end up in a coughin'. I'm telling the
tooth. The bare-neck'd tooth. I've got thick skin, and a warm
heart, and I nose whatst I gotsta do. Don't get cheeky with me, I
can't stomach it, I said with a little aqueous humor, in my funny
bone. You down, blood? Gimme some skin. You've got a lot of nerve.
All right, let's show some spine! A little fire in the belly.
Don't go belly-up. Cock your pisstols! Up an at 'em, bright and
ear-ly. Hi-ho, it's off to work eye go. Aye, eye captain! Heel!
Said the chris-chin :-)
I've got language (word!), and culture
(yogurt in my fridge!), and a cum-pewter (what?!?), so I'm not your
run of the mill insect, doing buggery and creeping around, bugging
people. Christianity may be insects (in sects), but I'm not. I'm
not in sex, either. I'm not in or out, with my penetrating
intellect. I'm a human being, a homo sapiens, not a home-owner, or
buy- bye- by bible-salesman. Anyway, I weigh 224 lbs (today). All
we are is dust in the wind. And we're mostly empty space,
practically ghosts, in the flesh. Well, I hope that's not too deep.
Live in the moment. Mm, mints, mom!
Are we all just bugs? Tormented by
each other or the devil, rolling around in our polluting/dangerous
cars, spending money on ourselves at the expense of the basic need of
fellow humanity, stockpiling guns and ammunition in preparation for
doom, while wasting our lives in front of television sets and
commercials for things we don't want, buying meat that hurts, hurts,
hurts... Are we a divided society that calls itself United, that
allows mothers to kill their own babies, permits our governments to
keep peace by aiming nuclear weapons at each other, keeps piling
billions upon billions of dollars of profit to such as the Waltons
-while basic rights to healthcare and education are out of reach to
many, in a world that still erects borders for obsolete distinctions
such as nation, religion, and language, and which medicates the
insanely sane? We're in an extinction event, and we still think
we're the stewards of nature, it's highest expression, as we pave
over paradise? Can we be the Gods that we think we are? Can we be
good to each other, ourselves, our planet, our fellow animals?
Sure we can. Of course. Why not!
Well, I feel good about walking dogs, and writing my blog. I've got
friends, and love is not an impossibility. May the forest be with
you!
