about

Black top table,
spun glass remnants, and a singing bowl,
more to this picture though,
blurred corner vision infinite years old.
But, what do you care?
Things you don't see, you look past them like air-
Like wind in the hallways.
Shutting doors push you through audible phases,
hearing names always.
Choose to ignore, or choose to give chase for your
Weird Life,
cluttered with distractful things.

Disposable people,
lackluster attempts to be sociable,
Oh, it sounds so selfish of me.
I'd just rather be by myself, don't you see?
But, whats wrong with that?
Easier to deal when you know nothings real, its a fact.

Sweating temptation,
contoured curves try to sway my fixation,
"there's no harm in lust"
You be the devil's advocate i can trust.
But there are no saturn rings,
just vision and decisions impaired by distractful things.

Fossilized memories
resurfaced by tremors and carbon dating,
but where does the time go?
Underground spaceships frozen in the snow,
will you please return home?
Hollow Earth buzzing with all of these things,
i would know.

Electrical outlets,
plug myself in when i start to regress,
as if i ever had power at all.
System shuts down, then try to reinstall.
But the servers the same,
the virus remains, your
Weird Life,
speckled with dead pixels, and
distractful things.

Born on 05/07/1993
Began writing poetry in 2002

Along Came Paully is an ever-evolving experimental poetry project.
The vast amount of consistent self referential metaphors combined with writing from subconscious illustrate the neural pathways of my brain and outline the patterns of exchange between conscious and subconcious.
