born of stardust
poetic title for Stream of Consciousness ramblings?
born of stardust
clever line
gives a real sense of direction
where this is heading and why
the embers of the dying light
that's poetic
can we drip the essence of our own mortality
into the pens we ink the paper with
can we digitize the romance of living and dying
*
if nothing is sacred anymore
is the debauchery of language
in the handheld or on the idiot screen
does it really matter, when there's still starvation
what's important?
starvation or manipulation of English
malnutrition or malapropisms
*
what's the point?
*
the dot to the i
the cross to the t
if you don't write
pages stay white
clean and bright
quit while you're
ahead, stay in bed
as the pencil bled
all that wasted lead
it's carbon
that's not the point
*
what's the point?
*
nothing matters
we're all stardust
go big or go bust
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
return to sender
retract the splendour
because no-one cares
do they?
won't care if you don't
won't share if you don't
share wild and wonderful
formless unstructured rambles
tight and constrained musings
full-blown literary attacks
spellbinding prose
*
share it, immortalise it
*
Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Stream of Consciousness. Some thought for food, food for thought.
In retrospect...this song may be responsible for my mindset...and just since VVV and Paint Me, I've unfiltered things.
