Vivid Perception
The Serious Play of an Animal
Sitting on a stump as I contemplate,
I rub each of my eyes for visions sake.
You never know what in this world is fake,
Foolishly thinking I don’t follow fate.
I sometimes desire to drive state to state,
Hold on, let me further elaborate,
Wish to see what else in the world is great,
But appropriated unwanted weight.
Fats the folks I know
Hold and make me slow
Want to try and grow
Can’t get up and go
Crash at home asshole
Forget this hassle
Tobacco lasso
Pulls like a brash comb
Trying to tackle
Total fiasco
Taking as long as starting up cinders within a black hole
Taking as long as igniting embers within a black coal
Am I dreaming now? I don’t really know,
Because my senses are all physical
My mind is totally distinct from those
Frequently fighting formidable foes
Within my brain I am invincible
Retiring all of the residuals
Know you are the best
Tell me all about structured destiny,
Can you blame me, wanting serenity?
My life has been built up and brought me here,
Been to the bottom but now it is clear,
Vivid perception I cannot question.
Living deception, demon invention?
What I touch, hear, smell and my eyes can see,
Could simply be another falsity.
