  • When time starts moving backwards
    Banana peels picking people up
    Glueing siamese twins back together
    Bathtubs filling from the drain
    Speakers absorbing all the sound
    Squeezing toothpicks together to make trees
    Mountains getting pointier
    Ovens turning bread into dough
    Teachers removing knowledge
    Leaves rising from the ground and sticking to trees
    Runners straining toward the starting line
    Alarm clocks lulling us instantly to sleep.


    Take care
    -Justin-

  • Sounds like a nice change of pace to me.

  • that makes me feel really peaceful... and it's clever

  • when I read each line, I can actually feel my energy coming back to myself, it's funny, and it's good

  • Lovely stuff Justin.

    Maybe one of the best poems I've ever read.  I get all the stuff in it too, I think.

    How about "people praying their way into depravity"?

    I am re-writing alot of the poem right now, because I wanted to send it to you earlier today.  I only have two out of five scenes (nearly) completed.

    -Love, B

  • Thanks for stopping by my page and for leaving a comment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come across your site ... I like the poem and the chronicle of your experiences in Korea.

  • now that is serenity ... *content sigh*

  • interesting

  • hell, yeah.  i'm all about the alarm clock part.

  • ... on a different note... because it has those optical connectors for my DAT?  When I get my mothership going, I'm gonna beam up that signal like nobody's business (well, my business, actually).

    In the meantime, I bought a spindle of 50 CDs 700 Mb, so that I don't have to worry about wasting CDs.

    Good chance that they're crap though.  Not sure.  I am getting a version of Dog Soldiers burned soon.  I reccommend Dog Soldiers to you before even seeing it.  It just looks so cool to me.  Go to hell.
