Razzle Dazzle
By R. Cary
Modify, enrage, develop not destroy; awake not kill. Bring in but close off; cause all that burning but don’t let it burn. Seek but always deny. Never choose. Remain choiceless. Deprived, deprive. Sudden, always appear as sudden; unfolding, never witnessed. Be perceived but never seen. Let people listen but never hear you. Find perspective but never truth. Deliver, don’t decipher; ponder and never reveal. Decide but never show. Always show but never reveal. Hurry but never be rushed. Slow down to speed up. Speed up to slow down. Alternating unseen. Alterations unseen. Match but never equate. Break but never broken; exhausted but never too tired. Sure but never positive, alive but not living. Destiny and destined, always. Always submit myriads of choices, conscious awareness aroused. Ascension has no meaning, denial is just a myth. Let your vision be seen and control will follow. One step ahead occurs before and after. During is always non-existent. Jump, but make it just a skip. Sequences are for the eye of the beholder. Providence is only in choice. The picture of the puzzle is only yours. Telling is just a tale. Surrendering to you passions is your favorite skill; let others tell your story. Allow purpose to be decided. All types of watering welcome; flooding, flowing, dripping, sprinkling, streaming, steaming. Walk with failure as your greatest strength. Conscience will never be silence. Subordinate to coordinate. Hamper, but never persecute; freedom of mind is the only path. Wonder is a fool’s errand, just as curiosity killed the cast; the mouse is trapped. Forever pressures the now. Letting up is really pushing the pedal. One small piece is plenty. Razors are meant to be thin. Cooperation is equal to sustainability. You always write ‘dear’ in front of rivals. Let symbolism be determined by another. Point, never direct. Confide, never confide in. If a door gets shut, just flip it around and it will open. Culture is not decided by the individual. Magnets provide. Glue traps but then repels. Awkardness is a solution. Pressuring never heals, it just stops the bleeding. Longevity means you must die everyday. Process acceptance and shake each other’s hand. Hope is for the weak minded, a myth now lost. Burdens mean at a snail’s pace. Holding up isn’t a fluke, it means you care. Tone really matters. Once determined the mind can; proximity is always greatful! Fullness has many forms. Welcoming needs no definition. Acknowledging is asking for one more. Volatility is the distraction. Violent has many terms. Conjectures are how we are born. Wallowing is like a mermaids song, lure. Crowded equivalates to openness. A shoulder is more than space next to your head. Grievances are for episodic relief. Lost whims means the trails are already beneath your feet. Connecting is not apathy surrendering to nothing. Essence can never be touched. Barriers are boundaries you cannot see. Gentleness appeases everyone. Brutality opens everyone. Digging is an act of the mind. The mind is an act of the will. Foresight is welcoming another’s future. Kindness never sinks the ship. A three headed dragon will be the best ride of your life, just ask her (or his) name first. That is enough for now, if you want to no more just…
