Jingili Circumnavigated

Image
Trim Circumnavigated  Adaptive Suitable for service Faithful and affectionate But stolen and eaten

From the gutters  Time well spent
Forever trying to make it Curious, creative, and nontraditional  Independent and alert
To knowing The battles that need to be fought To whom it must be Focused on predictive outcomes By mimicking and anticipating their actions


The explorer of the unknown The explorer of the unconscious The explorer of creativity
In our ordinary life In our commonality In our common cause for boredom
In all of the mindless small tasks That are too numerous  To be named 
Find your prey Follow it Patiently wait Catch it

Place As cold as the moon And in the balance The importance of being present Intrust and intelligence
Need Never to be left alone Feeling relaxed Showing affection 
Objective Remove all unwanted behaviors Through repeated iterations

Faithful and affectionate Never to be left alone In our ordinary life Forever trying to make it

Three Sisters of Disruption

Image
Sister 1 Keres
Disruption
Ownership of activity Prescribed by acceptable transactions
All is in flux Resulting in frustration And redefining  What is a fully functioning person
New base-line violations and agreements To deal with unconscious reaction and reasoned response Every interaction is observed To satisfy the needs of commercial interest
There is no snap-back This is the new socio-economic order Of artificial intelligence, automation, and surveillance
Those who are left behind Will be punished by poverty By systems that are impenetrable and dehumanizing

If you want to survive, stay away From their dominance and contagion  From their wandering battlefields As they scavenge and feed on loss Feeding on their rotten victories

They elicit suspicion  Then once we are one from each other  They feed on the socially isolated By creating closed loops Fall and you are theirs


In other words Until you are dragged by the feet through their carnage

Jingili Water Gardens We Cannot Know

Image
Jingili Water Gardens  We cannot know My concern  My change in life We are not what we were We are not what we will be I keep falling back into place And as I fall  Everything seems to be  As if I know

Of free choice Within my confinements  Restricted by rules of consumption  I see only windows and reflections
In the twilight I am doing it I am trying to reach Beyond my opportunities

Thinking thoughts, not for consumption Disturbing impulsive thoughts Those darker imaginings Those emergent creative powers Repress them Keep them secret

Godin Waiting

Image
Godin Waiting  I have been in-waiting to go, for far too long. Wanting to change, to improve, to transform.  Now I am stuck in this place of best practices.  All the pre-planning, all the strategy, the tactics, and motivation is fading away. Step one, two, and three are now at mercy to this real-world placement. This waiting room, a monstrous social construct contained through collective intuition.
All who have experienced disregard, within chant of 'be patient', have found their way into this room.  The fight to climb and to gain authority eventually leads to waiting.  The eventuality - all worn out by the fight within itself. Only to become the shell of what could have been and was now has ever-been.  Increments and trinkets of discarded shells underscored by the need to profit.  Shedding the skins of splendor and replaced by titles and agents of authority. I am within the placement of a utilized progression cue. Nothing out of the normal really. I know I must wait my turn.

The Shopping Centre
Not knowing whether to be scared or to be content Make your judgment Halo or devil 
We describe our persona of creepy In our religious manifestations In our children books In our stories  In our movies
Our hell on earth Permitting the dead to guide our fear and vision 


Peter went shopping In our hallowed place of transaction To think and talk about probability To keep the gate open for approved believers To revoke the others who continue to seek knowledge
Our gatekeeper of the significant fell into a moment And became lost in thought  He let his guard down  There on a humble symbol of power  Laid down to rest Control
A situation began to unfold No-one saw who claimed it
Everyone knows Key 6 was extensively employed to establish Terra Australis Incognita To support those of divine grace to access the fruits of this new world To impose those bereaved from grace and imposed to a fate of generational poverty



The moment in which Peter forgot about ke…
