Hostage.
Intelligence
held hostage.
Buffeted.
Buffeted
at every
turn.
Biology
grabs
by the
throat.
Submission.
Demanding
primordial
allegiance.
Allegian­ce
to programming.
How designed.
Where
laws
of the
jungle run
roughshod.
Roughshod
over logic,
wisdom,
conscience.
Defaulting
to baser
instincts.
Genetics,
holding
court.
Calling
the shots.
Logic,
wisdom,
conscience,
battling
with the
past.
Battling
with its
core.
Breathtakingly beautiful
your ink it chills to my spine.
How lucky and fortunate
the one queen of hearts
who reigns yours presence
shares your meals, longest
sitting at your footstand lotus
watching the moon dissapear
AM and sun settings views PM
joy peace your bending blues
And will her presence suffice
to forget strenuous promises
to stars in eye glued
to your cloudy thunderous
lightening sky above
heir to all?

Philosophy.
Contemplation.
Why?
Why
anything?
Why
anything
at all?
Existence,
what’s the
point?
Grappling for
understanding.
Avenues of
approach.
Delving for
answers.
Answers!
Infinite.
The finite
wrestling
with the
infinite.
Philosophy
a fools
errand.
Primate
contemplation.
How far
can it
reach?
With infinite
understanding
to be
had.
How much
can be
known?
Working with
what’s
provided.
Intellectually
governed.
Limited
in scope.
Philosophy.
Thinking,
searching.
Working
with what’s
supplied.
Shackled by
reality.
Dancing
in a
small hall.
Passionately
dancing,
exploring
nonetheless.
Philosophy,
why not?
Getting me out of my own way
isn’t ever easy..
My ego is rather big
and mostly greedy…
Feed me more
cry’s out my empty core
On and on I fight
this losing finite war…
Traveler 🧳 Tim
When did I detach myself from the current of reality,
eternally fused to the nothingness that awaits us?
To become a slave of dreams and machinations.

When did I become another heartbeat,
longing for fantasies of love,
only to find the anguish that comes from human desire.
Knowing that we are powerless to our fascinations.

How many days go by, as we long to be remembered?
For art, for name, for doing, for living
only to reach the same end of obscurity.

They call me a deconstructionist, a detester of life.
But are we not worthlessly tied to this current of life?
We are born with no concepts, no meaning, an echo of what is to come.
& that same echo escapes us in the end.
Painting of oblivion

The is uniformly white
A screen depicting nothingness
There is immobility.
Occasionally a red dot appears
When the mas of the void is moved.
Into the form of life
A beast or a human?
The mystery is no one knows
Why does randomness occur
Saw it all,
One last time...
Slowly, pressed "DELETE"
Swore to myself,
This mistake shall not repeat.

But I know, you know
I was bluffing.

It happened again.
I saw it all one more time,
One last time.
But this time, my hands don't tremble
I press not slowly, but swiftly "DELETE"
And I know, for sure,
It won't repeat.
