Extrapersonal Relations
The popular kid at
School’s got all the nukes
So better follow the leader
Or you’ll get bombed back
To the stone age
Chase the trendsetter
Or do it better
You better hope they
Aren’t a bully
And that they have mercy
You’ll be even lucky
If he’s remotely friendly
He has a superpower to play with
All his friends he knows you
Won’t mess with
He won’t invite you to parties
Or trade notes in class with you
So stay out of his way
Unless you want World War Three
To start in the classroom
Unless you...

Balance
Balance.
Don’t upset the equal
States or
Transmute too much
To either place.
Center of mass.

And the density

Steps anywhere.
Stay absolutely
Aware
Of your surroundings.
Keep focused and
If you rock one way
Don’t overstep,
No!
Keep focused, man,
And when you rock with it
Just understand,
Yeah?

Is That Really Leaving It Behind?
Blast
Outlast
Through the stained glass
And smash
Outlast
The past
And smash
Avast
The past
Is gone at last
Avast
Wear its carcass
Is gone at last
Hear the echoes
Wear its carcass
From then
Hear the echoes
Whispering
From then
A shockwaving beam
Whispering
Blast
A shockwaving beam
Through the stained glass

Brilliant Blinding
Sand in the eyes
So majestic
Glittering grains of quartz
Stinging and scarring

Blood Vessels
Hands feel warm
Flowing with sediment
Nodes
Grains
Like the ones that
Kick along the
Beds of streams
Floating buoyant
In clear water
Collecting on the
Bottom
Little glitters of
Pyrite
And obsidian
Stones
Pebbles and
Cobbles
Turbulent
In the impossible
Ocean of my hand
