Does society actually exist or is it just a concept that brings together various strange and individual forces under one familiar name?
There are forces that encourage us to switch out and momentarily exist on a different level than we did before, to let go of familiar beliefs, and then come back. (drugs, movies, books, some forms of exercise, all help with the temporary suspension...

some days Jack Kerouac,
if you want to stay alive
you gotta like the lows
you gotta hate the highs.
on days like these
there's no one by your side
no one telling lies
that everything's just fine
beat down, kicked, and pissed on
blinded but unbroken
on the worst of all possible days,
instead of crying, you clipped a poem,
better luck next time

A Drumbeat for Alan Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and the Rest
they had the winds of conversation
to uplift with strange new rhythms
each person spent a turn as the grease, the un-kempt voice, that
kept the wheels from burning them alive
they became the road somehow, in hindsight
its a rather captivating tale.
moving intuitively through open spaces, then through
a city of love and...

The Conservative Scientific Mind
If something defies
common sense and
probably can never really be verified
experimentally, or mathematically,
one has a responsibility
to behave as if it couldn't exist.
For example: the gaia hypothesis, string theory, or dreamtime.
A well-bred and conservative scientific mind doesn't like them because...
If it can't be irrefutably proved then even if its true, why bother thinking about it,...

You can be the most brilliant
talker in the western world
but if you're ugly
and awkward, really
what the fuck are you saying.
Jacob said,
There's something deeply
depressing

you disagree with
be indicative of madness.

If I were as obliging as you wish me to be... if I was like a bottle bobbing on the waves with a scrap of writing inside... if I were a mere receptacle ready to accommodate whatever story is stuffed in me, surely you would dismiss me, surely you would say to yourself, this is no woman but a house of words, hollow,...

What is love. Cause i can't recall, been so long and all. Is it like Eskimo snows, are there five hundred different variants that one might experience, given certain circumstances. What's the truest kind. "Well, if you don't know, then i can't explain it." Does it involve delusions about its unexplainability. Does it involve a state of contentment, or joyfulness, or happiness, does one develop...

when you finally got what you wanted
and realized fully that what you
wanted was to search
for something hard to translate into words
some object that could make you soul sick
for a moment, and then that you could
forget right after, so that you could go on
searching more tomorrow
you didn't want specific things
you wanted to be listened to by mutes...

She is the vampire of us all. So she supports us,
Fattens us, is kind. Her mouth is red.
I know her. I know her intimately --
Old winter-face, old barren one, old time bomb.
Men have used her meanly. She will eat them.
Eat them, eat them, eat them in the end.

When a person speaks a perfect truth
It is hard to get a foothold.
When they present a falsehood, boldly
then the gears will tend to move well
When they combine good ideas and lies
in a box of fictional design
I wonder, is the purpose to deliver truth at all
or to open up the mind.

To the Sons of Bitches of the Earth
(a poem).
If your purpose is to make others scared
and paranoid about the
repercussions
you might inflict
or the treasures you might take away
then its safe to say that you're a twisted individual.

the whole world is
the equivalent of a dream
the scientists say
that according to the facts
or the scientific facts
the sun will someday become so large
that it will engulf the earth
and everything we've done
everything we've built, every building
and every conceivable object that we've seen
will be destroyed
everything in this
place has an expiration date
