saline solution for a contact high

My blood -
red eyes
wetted, burn
from sweat, and tears β€”
make up a swatch of
emotional depth and fiery passion.

a scarred black cat

Technological Breakthrough

rapid successions in robotic intelligence
and their underlying machinations
proved useful in passing the "Turing Test"
to deceive the people β€” via machine learning

And,

The Faith in humanity’s childlike creativity
to get us out of this predicament
left to our own devices,
the generations of old
have presented us with,
an ultimatum ...

ghosts of future’s past

Final Destination

unwavering and determined
till the end,
filled with willpower.

… is this rare form,
burned alive from the inside,
lucid,
the thrill of the hunt
is much too abrupt
when they’re frozen out of fear

with my last breath, I’m to rest each day
only so that
the past undeath doesn’t catch up with me.

steel wool

Panic is a double edged sword,
for the unyielding man at arms
meant to be wielded
with a quick wit and an iron fist

It seems to me
these steel toes
could use a good shoe shine
to assist with
my rugged exterior
and
worn out appearance

the future looks bright,

it is my destiny

Firepower

Energy in motion - slowed - vibrational
coals,
too hot to
DO NOT!
touch or tap
into
the lava glass
in the valley of
the shadow of death

… Scratch that,
and get a feeling for the firepower,
at your fingertips.

The peace,
I never knew,
went missing…
watching the sun rays,
looking back,
I was seeing an oasis
in a puddle of gasoline.

non-binary albinism

If you die while closing your eyes,
is there everlasting light
on the other side
an embryo,
being made to walk on eggshells,
sweet soft fair skinned child,
drug wars over peace and love,
darker days…
I’m only making change,
to be sent back home.
The Great Depression
yes I’m feeling fine
ups and downs, on cloud nine
technicolor dandelions
seen through a screen door,

repeatedly saying numbers

With additives added in for a caloric surplus,
processed foods have disproportionate
nutritional values

Like all good things

there is a figure of speech
that weight is just a number

split into variations of 0 & infinity,
1 is in one place or another
betwixt and between

Melting Point

In the midst of night up until twilight,
33rd degree masons
ward off
mercurial
frost giants & red dwarfs

Pen is mightier than sword,
forged from flame,
A cold hard steely eyed intensity

Heavenly,
Seraphim
think highly of their own
chain of command
posited above the overly foreboding
thought up depths of hell

God Complex

Devoting itself to self reflection,
eternally ,
suspended in animation
our universe and it’s higher power has
transcended dimensions in it's existential quest
for the betterment of the greater good

duality made sense
at an earlier point in time,
before Christ,
the holy trinity,
spoke the word of god into existence
and cast satan out of the heavens,
with the creation of a prism,

The likes of a witch doctor would be medical practitioner into hypnotism
Sentimental as it seems, I needn’t remind you at a point in time, the idea was not only mine, but instead the status quo

Temporary lapses and gaps in human consciousness suggests that with enough evidence our early ancestors might've dabbled with the internal metronome known only as the circadian rhythm

Rainbow Silhouettes

Absolutely, positively your synapses can create an electrical charge that cannot be contained
 
Waves of euphoria are made to be displayed akin to a thin layer of paint on your face
 
Just beyond the outer periphery of being able to be perceived swirling acid rain lines the inside of a dreamy third iris on the not too distant face of the deep.

Otherworldly starseeds began to incarnate,
and add to the menageries of the Milky Way's sacral space

with our other half
