B is for Awake


When I wake up, I’m going to either be very grumpy or very relieved
I would’ve either come to a conclusion or discovered a beginning
When I wake up….

When I….
When.
When will I wake up?
This dream is surreal.
This dream they say IS REAL.
And I am to believe it.
Believe that this color combination
This disquiet within the nations
This topsy turvy, twisty and twirly screwed up
Ness…
Is exactly what life is.

I must’ve taken something strong.
Strong enough to knock me out into a perpetual haze
This unconsciousness
The conscious unconsciousness of sleep
Because my mind IS AT WORK
Hustling
Hurtling
Through thoughts and logics and pains and strategies and formulae and reason
And pain.
My mind IS AWAKE
Paneling through images, formulating problems
Solving those problems
And creating more
More of the same
My mind IS awake
But my body isn’t
Or else it is
In this dream that every body else THINKS IS REALITY.

I tell you…
When I wake up, I’m going to either be very grumpy or very relieved
I would’ve either come to a conclusion or discovered a beginning
When I wake up….

When I….
When.
When will I wake up?

B in Future Traditions

THE COPY: I was sitting down listening to Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me” and I began to think about future traditions. I thought… I want to sway with someone. Sway with my lover. To this music. More than that, I want that when we had an argument (and we’d have those because she’d be stubborn and I’d be pig headed (iChuckle)) we would never go to bed angry. We’d pop open a lover’s CD like this one and just sway. We may be as mad as hell but we would sway because we would never want to go to bed angry. And our children would know this. And they would never allow their partners to go to bed angry either because… well, because they would know better. They would sway. They would know it was better to sway. That’s the kind of man I want to be. Moreover, that’s the kind of tradition I’d like to pass on. Future Traditions. What's Yours?

B is for SideBar

i was going to talk about morality today. as in "whose morality do you subscribe to?" it was going to be deep if i say so myself. however, instead i will speak about requisitioning wombs . yes that's right... wombs . i was having a conversation with a girl who [i admit] i still go gaga over [cue the "paparazzi" audio clip]. we were talking about how stupid humanity had become and whether there was a point to saving them. "saving" in the sense of helping-them-expand-their-mental-space-just-a-smidgen-more kind of saving. she believed this exercise was futile and proclaimed that instead of trying to save this "dead-out" (my term not hers) generation, she was going to have kids. a means of passing on valuable information about culture and forward thinking and such. i laughed of course but she had a real point. i too have felt that this current landscape is all... dead-out, but never really saw procreation as a means of rebooting the system if...

I remember when I disavowed (human) Troubling thing since of course I was (human) Thought of my mistakes and yes they were (human) Thought of my limits and without a doubt (human) … … I remembered when I disavowed (can’t) Wanted to draw but of course, well I (can’t) Thought about rapping but you know that I (can’t) Should’ve taken her to the room… (can’t) … … I remembered when I realized it was the same (Human) and (can’t), they were all in a frame One is an excuse The other keeps you tame Same song, same hymn, same refrain. .... ... ... I can’t be human. But can’t doesn’t exist. Which means I COULD be human  But why be… everyone? You can be “only human” if you want to But I’ll accept terrestrial or mortal – thank you. Until the word is reclaimed by those who claim to be more Yet flounder in the gene pool of mice. © tracy j hutchings 18:06:13 #lordoftheyounggods a lord must consecrate and dis...
