Traffic noise amidst the winds of change

Thumbnail image for Traffic noise amidst the winds of change

The life was sucked out of me on 12th Avenue. The incessant traffic noise I wrote about on more than one occasion in my journal. It didn’t ebb and flow there but rather marched no cannon balled and madly screamed back and forth along that magnificent tree lined East Vancouver Street.
I remember mere moments of [...]

Have you ever tried to work out the way you think.

I think about this person saying these things to another person.
“She is fabulous!
She is an artist”
“Oh really
tell me more”
Tonight it dawned on me. It rose up beyond the clouds into perception;
into reality.
I think about people and what they think of me
much of the time.
Is that,
what I am thinking?
No.
I think about those people saying things to [...]

About learning to take things seriously when needed and hapazardly when things are not that important

Switching on intelligence is at most difficult when one is faced with making life’s decisions. Being ruled by the heart can be whimsical at times yet underrated as a form of intelligence most of the time. Written in anger, not really. We need to believe there is something larger than ourselves to exist. You are [...]

Initially I had [...]

Jeese you need to take a step

Jeese, you need to take a step back to step forward. Never stop walking. Never stop guessing. Never stop trying when all else has failed. Still, don’t you believe in redemption. Who knows maybe even kindness exists in your heart.
Jeese adjusted below
Jeese, you need to take a step forward to step back. Always stop walking. [...]

How your eco-footrpint is connected to sugar – your emotion and brain.

When your thoughts are controlled by substances that are short term acting… that is, the effects do not fade gradually and are short lasting, you’ll want more all the time. You will need to buy more all the time. It is a commodity. It is renewable at the cost of your mental health.
Transitioning from [...]

Given that erotica can come in many forms

On any given Sunday
a person is taking drugs,
this person consuming substances
incommensurately, they begin
the adjustment
deep within
the chasm lurking inside looking out.
Popping and chomping they spit-it down
tasting raw chemical…
the brains pharmaceutical.

On any given Monday,
at your place of work
a bleary-cheery-wide – eyed
coworker
could
sit within
your periphery vision.
The night before she popped a pill
igniting the charge
exploding resinous sinew delightful and askew.

Mistakes made outside looking in

On the outside looking in he imagines himself strong.
Weakness is a figment; his imagination gone wrong.
Drawing strength from those around him,
he winds down
closing into her,
withering with masses she dawns glasses
protecting her tears, falling for him.
The seams broke loose long ago
during the vicious cycles of yesteryears delights.
Information is her only friend;
solace remains attainable then.
Into the arms [...]

Condom child

I sat in the doctors office on Friday afternoon, coming to terms with the fact that the Plan B pills had expired eight months earlier and that I needed a new prescription. The condom from the night before broke. How the hell does a condom break? We were smart, we talked openly discussing possible emergency [...]

Sexual ramblings, feelings and stable confessions

How is it that sexuality, confidence and stability can clash together causing inner most ideals and beliefs to fall down, crash and burn. Ideally two people meet, get together and could get married. They could then proceed to have children. This is the ideal. The reality of that ideal is that it can exist and [...]
