2012,
The Bummer of the Sheep
#4
The question concerning 2012 is not what is gonna happen to everything
we’ve ever known like will we become lovely animals living together
in peace and harmony beneath broad swaying willows absorbing the
sun light that’s come to rest its revealing flow upon our road
weary brows made cool and easy in that relaxing mixture of imagining
the sweetest expressions of natural reality combined with pretending
we haven’t already experienced this but with some wicked twist
for example the sun’s shining and we’re all having fun until things
go horribly wrong with the surface of things stretching across
our view and out of sight when everything’s suddenly back to normal
and everybody is changing their minds about what is going on because
things change and then they change back again before you have
realized you had been taking it for granted everything would continue
exactly how they had been until they swung out control into a
fucked up nightmare constantly reminding us that nothing stays
the same people change the world is incessantly developing and
evolving into new versions of how newness keeps appearing despite
the changes we were all assuming would alter novelty’s mode of
coming across in a world where things happen on a daily basis
to perfectly ordinary people who just want the usual components
of a healthy fantasy life imposing itself upon the currents and
textures representing only one aspect of the multi-valanced swarm
underlying the regularity with which we continue to encounter
reality according to the dissatisfying mediation established by
the complicit programming responsible for creating the illusion
of intelligently executing intentionality within the context of
the completely repetitive version of experience most commonly
advertised to appear as the dominant mode for organizing the most
mundane details constituting the moral fabric of our day to day
opinions about the nature of what incessantly demands the attention
we would rather save for self-betterment rituals and spiritually-nourishing
activites and listening to the cool music our friends make instead
of having to put up with the consecutively accelerating frequency
of my body’s frail attempt to discover a source of satisfaction
amid all the destruction and poison and weapons and coercive gestures
and sharp objects being applied to the sensitive areas of myself
for the purpose of teaching me to go with the flow and confess
my secret passions and sex-ploitation scenarios for the sake of
the greater good of the public’s knowledge concerning the inner
workings of geniuses and famous composers and even average individuals
with nothing on their mind except who they want to get some attention
from next, as long as it won’t produce the kind of disaster their
friends secretly envy for the subtlety of mind implied by great
feats of stupidly rushing into painful situations without considering
the broader implications for the loftier goal of accumulating
massive experience points in the opinion of a social community obsessed with every little thing we try to do in the privacy of
our own social role of being the best we can be until disease
and loss invade our ability to perform with the decency in exchange
for which we are awarded with general acceptance and approval
by the group of maniacs pretending to represent what it thinks
cool people are like instead of letting us be ourselves despite
the impossibility of inhabiting a world suddenly made bearable
by the newness of new love even though we obviously couldn’t be
less confused whether or not we are willing to admit the mutuality
of some pretense creeping into even the sweetest moments when
we would rather just let go and not worry so much about everything
I said before I started sweating it about coming across differently
now that you suddenly realized precisely what I meant to have
been intending to stop myself from making you feel bad for wanting
me to be sensitive and caring instead of horny and destructive
but what’s to keep me away from what I want as long as I am honest
with respect to the natural allure of ruining it for old times’
sake before I miss the chance to tell you how much you mean to
me who has longed for you to take me into your arms allowing me
to forget the sorrows of this life which will continue changelessly
through the impenetrably armored succession of days like the immortality
of the least expected occurrences resonating at a frequency exceeding
even the most useless gestures toward the formal requirements
of a previous age when men walked in the footsteps of gentle forest
giants and swam in the primitive stew of happy comraderie far
from the wicked horny demons of modern factories and global exploitation
and selfishly delusional attempts to dissimulate the fundamentally
self-centeredness at stake in going about the motions of daily
life just so the motherfucking forces of control won’t starve
us to death in the isolated positions of emotional compromise
implied by accepting the impossibility of happiness just to make
the unbearable weight of being alive in the worst of all possible
excuses for a piece of shit example of one of the biggest mistakes
in the history of mankind’s grand narrative in the face of all
peril surpassing nature in speed and agility of speaking like
an awesome homie badass skateboarder or tattoo artist inflicting
his totally un-fuck-with-able experience of reality on the surface
of every NewGod destroyer of worlds totally amazing dude you always
see around but never got to communicate with because you were
both too busy minding your own business of paying attention to
the only thing you care about doing for the sake of the mental
happiness involved in answering to a higher power instead of acknowledging
the natural anarchy at issue in a world so fucked up and out of
control that at least half of its inhabitants have never even
considered giving in to acting like they aren’t gonna have to
keep pretending not to be enjoying something essentially mistaken
concerning whether or not they want to be tricked into doing something
they didn’t want to do of their own accord instead of just doing
whatever their powerful influences commanded at any given instantaneous
confluence of many invisible instances moving in the general direction
of opening up toward the other ways to do something interesting
instead of really boring or fucked up and out of control for a
change in their quotidian lives reading all their stupid fucked
up shit instead of listening to completely amazing warriors around
the ancestral fire veritably shaking a spear beneath a century
of mayhem and fucked up attempts to get ourselves happy when everybody
knows happiness is the kind of thing you just don’t get because
it is a fleeting glimpse of child-like expressions of being needy
and annoying if you don’t get exactly what you want despite having
to keep going about the activities of a pretty annoying life of
solitary destruction concentrating on not fucking up the good
things which remain in a universe of wildly unintuitive events
coupled with never knowing the right way to treat everyone you
love and admire and cherish as the only amazing wonderful friends
the absent gods above will grant you as reward for ignoring the
horrible reality of the world the parents of existence forced
everybody to have to have the opportunity to go around in as if
it wasn’t so bad enough suffering the unpopularity of non-existence
that we should have to undergo the requirements of being inarguably
incomparable instances of the universe’s wicked individual-producing
potential to get things right for just the second it will take
to acknowledge the personal gravity of our splendor and rejoice
in the half light of the full dawn upon the advent of being righteously
in sync with one another while the happy gods sing songs of love,
exploitation and other foolish examples of succeeding to respond
to the only difference between freedom and reality.
