Involuntary Notions of a Planet

Dario L. Jaramillo 2001

 

Conditioning

Human conditions

Conditioning every moment

Of the day

Feeling life to be short

When in reality it is long

When status and toil

Is more important

Than life itself

Possibly because life

Is an unknown

Known to us

Only to be described as 

Scientific

When the soporific

Is actually the systematic

And sophomorific

Conditioning society

Delivers upon us.

 

Gyges' Ring

I feel invisible now

Now that all is revealed

Now that all is transparent

All is in the open

All is congealed

I feel invisible now

Now that I’ve forgiven

Now that I’ve confessed

All is thrown into the wind

All is buried deep in time

I feel invisible now

Now that distress has passed

Now that tranquility is in the bones

All is God

All is love

I feel invisible now

Now that what was once pain is now pleasure

Now that what was once horrible is now lovely

All is past

All is now

I feel invisible now

Now bewilderment is order

Now there’s nothing to loose, all is gain

I’m invisible

Now I can love

Now I can die.

 

Lost Time

Iconoclastic

Bombastic

Fantastic

Religiously

Plastic

Basket case

Of society

Pursuing (as usual)

Moronic

Bubonic

Chaotic

Fluorinated

Flummoxed

Reps of government

To lead us through

Partial and one sided

Futures

Of lost causes

Likely losses

And pain, poverty and impairment

Via derivative bifurcation

Of unlikely ideals

Set forth to an ignorant

Community

Causing (yet again)

Lost time.

 

Urges

Uncontrollable urges

Of sexual desire

Caused by

Uncontrollable urges

Of Non-sexual desire

Within

Opposite sexes

Causing the ever

Effervescent game

Of control

Drifting love

Into a dark and lonely

Hole

A sea of turmoil

Finding not a moment

Of calm.

 

Angels

Holding on to what?

You said?

Fleeting obnoxious soiled

Feelings from a past

That is no longer here?

From a reality that distorted

Your brain

Disrupted your soul

And contorted your heart

Into anxieties that can no

Longer be beneficial

To your manipulative

Nature?

Nature?

You said?

Did you emote

Or remotely

Consort with the enemy

To obtain justification

Of your

Resentments?

Hark!

Let the angels sing

With you about you

Around you

Let then abound you

Releasing the negative

Blood pressure that runs

Through your veins

As the angels sing again

And again

And again

As you fortify

Your soul

And forgive yourself

From yourself

Letting angels become

Your cohorts

Your companions

Your guides

As you dance through

The walk of life

Smiling into their

Souls

Laughing into their

Hearts

Enjoying their

Shine

And following their light

As you lead the way

Into your universe

Finding tranquility.

 

Eighty

Cantankerous old woman

Finding her soul was lost

And gone

Feeling dependency

Was far and wide

Hard and empty

Begins to feel her soul again

Looking ahead was better than looking

Back

Looking towards the simpler life

Instead of contagious

Extraneous

Vivacious

Hysteria

Within the compounds

Of her long lasting

Relationship

With love

Where is love?

Where are thou?

Said she

As she walked into the ocean

To soothe her soul

To soothe the pain

That she unconsciously

Demanded for

Fighting back

Fighting against

The person she “loved”

This cantankerous old woman

Has now found love

On the beach

As she looked into the depths

And the sky

Looking deep into the eyes

Of life itself

As she wondered

Whether to kill herself

Or start over again

At 80.

All of a Sudden

Pursuing forbidden forbids

In a land of specialized id’s

Churning the face of laughter

From ego centralized masks

Hiding mongrel shortcomings

And classless, uncultured passions

Void souls and empty hearts

From the masses…

It makes me feel sick…all of a sudden.

Wet Virgin

Wet virgin

Standing on the corner

Obligingly

Agreeing with every human that

Passes

Showing her caresses

And carcass

Making her feel

Alive

In her mind

In her body

Her self-esteem is in her

Tits

And her security between her

Legs

Lending herself to toil

For her delight

Or despite

Who will ever know?

Why this virginal character

Stands on every corner

Providing her existence

To mankind

And womankind

Together

All together

Until she finds her

Body rotting in the wind

As another homeless

Person

On the beach

When age

Catches up with

Her.

 

Culture

Dependency

Idiosyncrasy

Nationality

Fantasticality

Of fanatic realities

Making races collide

In the wind

Provoking

Constant flowing

Of the

Blood

In the street

To exist as a flimsy excuse

To progress.

The Body Joy

Walking towards death

Watching the sun rise

And

Shadows falling where it may

Gently floating towards oblivion

As life chips away at me

I hear birds screaming

And singing songs of desire

Of amusement

Of sensuality

Of sensibility 

Of delight

Of height

Of flight

Of joy

And here I am

Hearing it all again

Among humans

As they imitate hand-me-down

Goals

That drives them into insecurity

Hardening their arteries

Stressing their muscles

Emptying their souls

Longing for what they do not have

Or what they will never achieve

I hear them flow

Exasperatedly towards oblivion

And singing songs of desire

Of apprehension

Of vindication

Of jealousy

Of murder

Of anxiety

Of power

Of greed

Of angst

Of theft

Of pain

Among the chosen few

That sing

The body joy.

 

Yes

Believe it or not

God appeared on my doorstep

And gave me a hand

Showed me a means

To stay awake

To gently accept

To forgive and to make

Life a most unforgettable

Place to be

And to be

I be.

 

Mortal Awakening

I am no longer

A member of the rat race

No longer an affiliate to society’s

General expectations

Call it arrogant

Call it illusive

Call it reclusive

Antisocial

Call it whatever it may

When nomenclatures

And categorizations

Are thrust upon

The atypical

And justified for what is not

Understood

Or conceived

Or is it that they feel less?

When a soul has left behind

Capricious activity

Unnecessary precociousness

Accumulation of material waste

Ascension of status, fame and fortune

Call it what you may

But I see a glow

When I look across

The horizon

Sensing that I float

Without conceit

Without despite

Without vindication of any sort

I am not different than they are

I just awoke from the dream

I just awoke from the gray

I just awoke from a reality

I did not create

I now create joy

I now create love

I now create motivation

And creativity

Spirits do not frighten me

They are my friends

Spirits do not take me

They guide me

Spirits do not push me

They pamper me

And I love them

Whether they appear

Dreadfully nasty

Menacingly sinister

Horrifyingly hideous

Atrociously gruesome

Appallingly horrendous

They are still my partners

They are still my loved ones

For my mind may see differently

Than my soul

Since

After all

I am only human.

Lady Love

Woman

I for art thou love thee

For who you are

For what you are

Woman

I for art thou want thee

For who you are

For what you are

Woman

You and I are

And be

What we want to be

As we be

We are.

 

Digital Observation

The pounding and thrusting

Of digital nature

Exfoliating countless

Archaic designs

Into momentary regimes

Infuriating countless

Aging old axioms

Into futuristic evolution

Converting them into numeric

Formulaic fabrications by intent

Renovating and replenishing

Age-old maxims

Into progressive highways

Of the universe

And beyond

And watching for wormholes

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Into the future into the future into the future

Like a watcher of the sky.
