It took me a fifth to remember. Liquid emolient of
life
that which all pass through; like some universal stone kidneyed in
our tracks. Painful. Injurious and unjust journey we are submitted to
our resumes untouched in acquistion. In time
we find a product of consciousness.
Manufactured by the guilt of the thought we cannot control.
Drink up time
wash away the existence that senses
the physical. Laws that bind us to pain
excite us to pleasure.
Taste the change flow through your lips
past your
feet. Tingle as you walk down street wise up. In cars
a tag bars passage.
You think I'm drunk
don't you? Twenty years old
I'm
a fifth of a century that is change. I've been smokin'
right? That's
what your thinkin'. Yes
a year I've been smoked. Life is a harrowing habit;
bottled up after every breath
lunging for a release. Waiting to pull the
trigger and fall away from a firing. Bulleting past fields full of innocent
flowers we cannot pick or even see smell.
For thousands of years
philosophers have been theorizing
about an immediate present. We are always living it
and now we may not
be around tomorrow
it may take a second.... It is presently possible to
cancel the future
a present to the past. Well
in elementary school
we
were told that every cigarette costs you five minutes of your life. So
when I smoke
I figure it's five minutes I might not otherwise have. Just
five minutes
and you're almost there. And these are words someone else
might not be able to say.
