why can't I flow 
why can't I dance and ebb and go 
slip and move rise and fall mind
in flux 
jungle of mind creeping through the 'mentalist' landscape
 monsters and dungeon dimensions 
paleologic 
tangants 
pagents of confusion 
and 
and 
all too much 
let it flow 
let it go 
rise and fall 
intolerance, racism sexism prejudice 
negitive feedback 
loops 
stop 
break the chain 
stop 
cough and twitch 
stop 
breath and 

smile

balance and
stop
break the feedback
and paranoia
yet 
small blue pill
yet I want to live without it
medication of the mind

the madness 
the twitching
sometimes the police
the delusion creeps
and stirs
frightening authority
insanity
out to get me
a vast conspiracy of madness
no reason 
fear,
fear
the anxiety creeps
and stirs 
I smile lopsidedly
the two sides of my brain in conflict
freeze twitch
confusion
knots and sleeplessness
fear and anxiety
its broke
its broken
my brain 
injured
neurotransmitters overworked
firing too fast
delusions
racing
spinning
out of control
the police
Saddam
evil
the devil
my fear
my pain
my horror
out of control
stop 
breath
the weakest link

stop all the wrongness
the mistakes and the blindness
the paranoia
fear
make it better
people in masks
working together
luminous penguins
and pelargoniums
flamingoes and
violet ultra x-ray gamma ray
black hole
champagne supernova

13.7 billion years
orders of magnitude
girls
women
lust
passion
beauty
skin deep
soul
the beauty from within
love
life
growth 
seeds
germination
babies
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid
2 metres
more cells in the human body than there are stars in the galaxy
10 billion large galaxies
so with over 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone,
own your own galaxy
how much gold
how many diamonds
stars like grains of sand
DNA a sequence of 4 chemicals woven 
packed

how rare a piece of work is a human
with all the vast mass of matter in the universe
we are but small glints of diamond
conscious
self aware parcels of atoms/chemicals/interacting
capable of solipsism
star dust that sneezes and burps
carbon oxygen hydrogen
that can send metal past Pluto,
leave footprints on the moon,
fly without wings
atomise each other by smashing the fabric of reality

a stream of consciousness
the flow of water is good 
and full of life
but the violence of a torrent is
lethal
