Am I In Your Way Yet?

Gimme a sec...

My plan for today

Be a diversion

Psychedelic neural impulses in high-definition

hanging on the outside of my brain like a boss who scares the shit into you

dripping cringeworthy 'hold-on-to-your-breakfast' cerebrospinal fluids

turning monochromatic ingrained patterns on...they...HEAD

and into a puzzle of 'holy crap' proportions

Intricate and artful distraction

you're at a loss to pinpoint

(thereby increasing effectiveness)

Scented mysteries inhaled on a sea breeze

Sensations sufficiently concentrated

to induce ecstasy delirium

because I am traipsing stylish fascinations of contradiction

Tailored imperfections born of existential nonchalance

I'm gonna drench the masses and countless others

from this internal ache to awaken

steal you away from sameness

imperceptible confines steeped and pre-programmed liberties

no longer able to detect inborn wildness

never to be trained

by whip or warmonger

But for this

I sink to mischiefs great

at the chance

to extract you from grip of darkest depths

and render visions of untainted purity

yet still safe within you

A knowledge you weep joy from the sheer discovery of

So...

I'll be temptation and taboo

called every name outside my own

scrape fingernails along ganglia

palpate viscera

observe and document biorhythms

then 'black market tequila-seduction' of you toward you

silent screams and schemes as I swing limbs past your temple

the best eye-catching diversion enticement to freedoms

A promise sipping culminations

Limitless indulgence

and this

the ultimate in divine birthright
