It is currently 6:51 in the early morning.  I have yet to sleep. I must also be at work at 11, which is approximately only four hours away.  I doubt that sleep will indeed occur at all tonight.  I am updating this right now because I can't think of anything else to do and I would also like to stop The Bitching. 

I wrote me a thingy last night, and I post it here not because I seek the crude ejaculations you mongoloids call "thoughts," but so I will have a digital copy in case someone who does not know what they are doing once more crashes this computer.  When have you have finished reading, you may go back to soiling yourselves.

 

It’s 3:37 am and I should be sleeping

But there’s been too much coffee

And too many cigarrettes

And the buzzing

That’s been in my head for days

Is too strong for sleep.

Writing helps, sometimes,

But it’s been hard lately,

To catch an idea long enough

That I can think.

They’re out there somewhere, the ideas,

Flickering through the buzzing

Like the little fish that you see

Sometimes

In the shallowest part of the ocean

Where the water is only a foot deep

Or so, and the little blurry

Brown blobs swim between

And around your legs, and dart

Away when you move, so you stand

There in the water with

The waves breaking

On your knees, still enough

For the little fish to keep swimming.

The ideas have to come

First to you;

Grabbing at them is as useless,

And about as stupid

As reaching for the projections

In one of those

Cheesy 3-d movies

That people keep making.

Your hand never quite touches it.

But if I can stay still

Long enough, they come.

Not like the little fish but

Like on of the sudden big waves

That almost knocks you down

Because you weren’t ready for it.

If I can keep balanced,

Keep both feet on the sand

That is never damn firm enough,

The wave pulls back

And leaves

A word or a line

Louder than the buzzing.

Then, then I’ve got it,

I don’t need the distractions

And games and towys

That keep the buzzing back

And I can be fine for days.

How long, though,

Am I supposed to stand here,

Not moving,

Watching the little fish that

I can’t catch, listening to that

Goddamn buzzing

That’s louder than ten thousand

Oceans and I think

Might be driving me a little mad?

It’s 4:11 am and I should be sleeping.

 

It's fucked up the stanzas somehow, there shouldn't be a space between every line.  That would be stupid.

High school is completed.

The search for gainful employment begins.

Damn you school.  Why won't you end?

To commemorate the one month and three day anniversary of my last update, I submit for your perusal a poem to be used in the developing story below.

I wish that I could never see these waves
That lap my sandy feet, and never see
This cloudless sky that hangs close by my head.
The sun above the cloudless sky is hot
And far away.  The earth beneath my feet
Is strong, but slowly washing out to sea.
With sky and sea both tugging me from ground,
I know that I must leave this beach behind
And walk between the clashing blue forevers.
The seething sea recedes from me, and stills;
The silent sky withdraws and sighs a Word.
Above the sea, below the sky, I walk
From clinging sand to stare into the sun.

I haven't been updating lately, and for no good real reason.  So to continue my series of updates without telling you anything about my actual life, I submit the following, a segment of writing I've been working on, part of a larger whole which mostly still remains to be written.  It's all still percolating about in my mind, mainly, and it is difficult to get what I want down on paper.  Anyway, this takes place in a dream that the protagonist has.

For forty denarii I am hung on a cross like a murderer, while soldiers dance and gamble for my clothes.  Why has he money while I must die?  Where does he dine while I hang here and hunger?  Along the road there’s people coming; someone else to kill today.  Did he steal soup from a rich man’s table? Did he cry mercy when Caesar seized, when Caesar sentenced, when Caesar called him thief and murderer and had him condemned to death?  I cried Mercy! when the nails were driven, I begged and screamed and cried and bled for Caesar’s mercy and Caesar’s love.  For forty denarii there are holes in my hands!  For money am I crucified! for thought and deed am I killed!  There were no guards within the house, no windows latched and bolted closed the purse lying on the table no one in sight at night and only myself and no work or bread!  I am a rational man, but I starve! I starve!  If I did not steal I would have died, and now I die because I steal, while others starve and steal and die when Caesar singles out their lives!  Oh yes it is a terrible thing to die from hunger I deny hunger and being hungry I have no need for food!  He died because he had to die there was no other way to help there was great Passion in his death and I loved him as I killed him and he loved me as he died.

Oh, these nails are dripping in I drip out slowly, slowly into the mud.  You killed him and I killed me have I killed you?  We are both of the same tree.

 

It will go on from there, but this probably only confused you.  As I write more, I'll post that too, and I'll edit this post to reflect any progress I make in this particular scene.
