Skinny
We were young
Fresh
Dirty
Out on our own
Free from our parents
Hovering eyes
Free from entitled
Suburbia
We wanted to starve
To feel something real
To fight for something
Important
More important than ourselves
We were skinny
No money to eat
Noodles filled our bellies and brains
Struggling
For meaning
When the truth had been withheld
We knew nothing of the world
It was closed off
And kept from us
From learnin
The truth
That I am me
And you are too
And we are one
Math doesn't divide
They do
On purpose
One is the numeral that deceives us all
Infinite
Skinny
Hungry for knowledge
This lesson repeats
For anyone strong enough
To put the needle down.
Older not wiser
Listening though I'm deaf
By the music that lifted me up and away from myself to connect with you
There was always something to that
Static pause before the needle drops
Listen
Now they wiped away that static
Analog destroyed
Lightened
Raped
Dissolved
Lasers don't have that dramatic pause
Before the music message drops
There is no time to wait for pauses now
The pregnant pause
Is miscarried
Like justice
And skinny
Girls
Want out of themselves
Just like all the others
They try to emancipated their souls
As red blood comes to the surface
Lines to follow
Scars to mark the passing of your life
And I see your pain
Take it in
Then purge it out again
I can barely hear the static anymore
Do you?
Slinking away to isolate
Give me back my soundtrack
So I can share with you
Drop the razors and take up
The staff
Up on that treble clef
Slink under the covers of bass
Beating like our hearts
Fast and pure
Undefined.
We were once young
Like you.

I should have learned
I should have learned
To read the night sky
Constellations
Messaging me
Through the velvet blue
Orion burning on
Three times you let me see
That Virgo
Bent and needing rescue.
And those that came before us
Knew so much more
A multitude of burning discs
Shining on in cymatics
Vibrating with creation
Eminating epiphanies
Straight at us
Yet we do not see
We do not even
Raise our self centered heads to the sky
The abyss filled with light and sounds
So many questions
Already answered.
We are them and they are us
Points of light and song
If we are anything at all.
Astrologically speaking
There is so much more to see
Yet the ancients saw it all
Mapped it out
To show us their significance
And we look down on them
As they looked up
To see their inception
Their song of birth
Billions and billions and billions of worlds and more
Like Carl said
He wasn't wrong.
And I look up
At those mystical 3
Orion's belt has always
Mystified me
It beckoned and tempted and enticed my soul
Like a carrot on a stick
Who is it calling to me from there?
Across time's flat circle
That spiral round and round and then here we are right next to each other all along
A string of quantum theories
Played like a symphony
And I think its just me up there on that burning fire belt of frequencies
I think I'm calling to myself to see
Recognize
That we are all unique points of light and music
One and the same.
And we've been here and there and everywhere
At all moments
Always.
Its comforting to know
I'd still take the time to say hello
To myself from so far and yet so close.
Maybe I'll take some time
To learn to read our night sky.
