I keep
telling myself
don't panic
I'm not
on fire
though life
I know
real flames
some things
needily incinerated
void things
not very
far away
I keep
poking myself
demanding things
provoking those
other games
giving in
that shack
I am
living in
deriving moments
also ran
I keep
reminding myself
equating manic
with every
dire fire
leaving nothing
except ash
giving nothing
except crashing
beyond loathing
brash dreams
igniting flames
beneath boasting
trash games
panic mostly
with each
flaming train

earth plumbing
eco frailty
politico importance
environ portent
mental extant
worthy reality
draining things
liquid flowing
flushing solids
keeping things
actively going
like a shower
requisition singing
timely additive
oil into water
that subject closet
selective composite
amplitude convergence
flash paper idols
proud toilet fuel
amplified resurgence
proud flesh knowing
what goes in
each griping
truth or sin
every twitch
what comes
bewitchingly out
day gripping
obstinate night
trusting gravity
reviewing doubt
push that old
truly nervous bout
in and out
transcend vanity 
everyone sighing
descending further
somewhat closer
to vain insanity
reserving shouts
wanting to be
just somewhere
needing really
to explicitly pee
then something
implicit key
rusty plumbing
flustered crying
crusty depravity
censured prying
got to run
escape dying
maybe walking
before some
life numbing
disrespectful leak
critical importance
planetary plumbing
maintaining zones
it is
just those
stock piling
market things
flushing volumes
liquidity flowing
channeling gushing
keeping things
reactively growing
monetarily knowing
corporate care
making greed good
productive humming
maintain profit
fluid drumming
motivational water
flowing streams
shareholder plumbing
gravitational dreams
religiously needy
deep into greedy
feeling exalted
politically seedy
corporate plumbing
that golden calf
that bathroom alter
destiny should 
fate can
it could
intentionally falter
plumbing understood

that stoic moment
when bliss comes
such heroic glory
when heaven arrives
blazing stardust falls
God's brazen light
something extra blessed
everything discernably perfect
hearing heaven calling
determinably everything
 absolutely right
fifty thousand
eons ago
just yesterday
I suppose
that iconic moment
when bliss came
such pacific glory
when heaven arrived
applauding drums
hunter gatherers
lauding tribal stories
living nomadic life
season matters
hunting food
building hearth
gathering fuel
stardust falls
guilding home
nurturing fire
everything blessed
seeking perfection
day nodding into night
God's divine sight
heartbeats calling
continuing into what
drum beats agree
what we continue
that same thing forever
what we endlessly see
continuing enthronement
in these prononimal
you and we
phenomenal moments
hunter gatherers
us and them
those that are slaves
those that are free

critique muck
critical moisture
sucked out
ridiculing earth
liturgical atmosphere
sucking moisture
out of worth
dry dry dry
evaporating choices
thus new birth
this alpha
doubtful environment
such is omega
drought science
sigh sigh sigh
creation flows
cherished water
comes and goes
perishable matters
oceans of algae
salt water knows
demanding salt flats
expanding deserts
commanding exasperation
failing springs
profound evaporation
understanding that
atmospheric aspiration
ground water
quickly disappearing
moisture altered
parched earth
what about
yearning desert
is it
ever worth
parching measures
what liability
reasonable weather
seasonal earth
what is
reliably viable
truly worth
forsaking treason
in this current
forsaken season
this current
reactionary pleasure
blurry reasons
every fire
blaming fate
burned up
trust forgotten
like Saint Anthony
water music
nature begotten
living rivers
fluid movement
psaltery treasure
like Arctic ice
glacial palaver
holy water
climate advice
say prayers
your purity
vital moisture
assisting security
sacred forever
nature's surety

do something
creative intelligence
be something
creative humanity
explosive relevance
realizing something
functional excellence
creating this
chosen vanity
debating this
perhaps insanity
satiating bliss
elevating inanity
demanding this
understand calamity
tortured souls
do something
shackled lives
invite treachery
who knows
debate adventurous
deep holes
delegating purpose
being something
creative purchase
regulating surplus
interpretation versus
reciting service
regimental prevalence
creating this
delusional circus
elevating this
usual decadence
accelerating negligence
political deference
celebrating arrogance
perpetuating elements
vitalizing criminality
instrumental immorality
terrorizing benevolence
advertising elegance
finalizing abnormality

it's this
we consume
it is
this consummation
we are
ego realization
knock on wood
tango rhythm
what about
sacred rhyme
don't assume
ego attenuation
what about
miracle divination
consuming limitation
ego trip
ripping inclination
that trippy beat
unassuming vibration
waves of life
require light
absorb that
rhythmic show
some thing
acquired right
something deep
to chew on
our consuming
isn't senseless
life's consummation
just breathing air
resume consensus
we are there

revolution dawg
some thing
volition heavy
dig it up
kick it around
chew on it
evolution dawg
something heady
pick it up
study it
toss it around
feast on it
restitution dawg
some thing
randomly bloody
slice it up
drag it
all around
prey on it
revolving cogs
wrench into
every thing
some thing
obviously needy
grease it up
twist it around
swig it down
vital tonic
founding holy
manic ground
sound dawg
humanity's velocity
evolvingly profound
