"Despair WILL embrace STUBBORN
As songs cling to a solitary banner of ineptitude
Hope worn to fluttering strings
On the smallest hill"

F**king Brilliant!  Excellent as a whole as well!

 

An excellent piece.
 

and trying so hard to stand with a better perspective...
 

Gotta keeping standing and moving. Eventually a victory will come.
 

thanks, all!   so far it looks like having iTunes is what has screwed up my microsoft drivers.....dvd player quit working, and i didn't realize it because have a keyboard plugged in.....but several of the keys have stopped working on the laptop keyboard.  microsoft thinks it's funny, that apple makes all these commercials on how terrible vista is, but then it's apple that has been crashing vista with their i'Tunes software.....

might be able to fix it with a special windows update......but basically getting an Ipod was a bad idea, and i don't know if i'm going to be able to fix my machine. 

 

 

oh, i'm blind alright! 

 

My gosh you write such clever poems

 

thank you

 

I love the form...really adds to the overall piece...this one had moments of being stunning...overall extremely well written....loved it.
 

thanks....was mostly trying to capture the aggravated persistent sort of frustrated fix-it person i become when trying to get the computer to do what it's supposed to.....*smiles* 

 

Tomorrow shall be a better day!

 

Yes it will!   * smiles *
 

Wonderful piece!

"for wherever you stand
           is what you serve"

Fantastic line, excellent poem

Thanks. . .  Was sort of playing off of the word serve, and how that applies to computer tech. . . 

But also wrapped a lot up in there, and we don't often see ourselves serving anyone these days. . .  But there are so many things we do serve without even knowing it.
 

 

wow...love the way you ended this and I must admit I never saw it coming...
 

the one and only pride in my life....to remain unpredictable *smiles*  thanks, love....
 

Wow!  An amazing piece.  Thanks so much for re-posting it. 

 

you're most welcome.....was going over a few things, and saw how this fit in to my current trains of thought.....

 

That was intensely deep, I am Listening to Joe Satriani's "Ceremony" you should read this with that soundtrack, mindblowing!!!

i wrote that final part to about 5 different songs!  while this is a re-post....the original ending was on the thought of standing where you are saved. 

and it well may be, that what i consider or discern....is unlike anyone else.  however.....i have an incredible knack for placing my existence into a "probably future" or reliving non-changeable pasts....and so it is a very large problem for myself, to be in essence, avoiding the "now." 

and to realize this keys in with an addictive nature, and that most ingested mind-altering substances, create a necessity for being in the "now."  that is the main thing that pot does....as far as i'm concerned....it actually blocks the brain's ability to contemplate or store memory.  and so experience, becomes the "full throttle of NOW"......and consequently, such things as sit coms on TV, become just plain hilarious.  because you can absorb the full nature of every timing.

thing is....the NOW can be a scary place to hang out.  if you are not dreaming of where you want to be....then where you are is going to have to be "good enough."  and you open up yourself to the probabilities of depression.....but on the other hand, your realities have a foundation that go beyond human consideration of an "up" and a "down."

phewwwwwww.....am being awful wordy today....living a good deal of this morning in my mind.  time to step out.....now is scary, but a real meal of meat and potatoes....is better than an imagined meal of lobster and champagne....and too many live off the dreams.....and then when the dreams get there, they realize they have lost the ability to appreciate reality. 

well.....something like that i was trying to get at.  and like i sad....might well be that this is simply the way my individual function works things......and most everyone else might not have such a problem of sticking "inside the NOW."  but i have to remind myself....like a dieter that puts sticky notes on the fridge....

and mostly, when you realize you are using your dreams to make yourself unhappy.....that is cause for a self-defeat that is self-sustaining. 

and i don't want to trip myself up anymore.  i think that there are enough other factors in life doing that for me, that i don't need to contribute....lol
