aghast

me: I wish I could just have a stamp machine, one that I could type anything in at all and bam bang there you go a stamp, I could use it and lets go green, when I'm done I could toss it back into the little nano box or whatever and there you go no waste, I want a different one for something else, I want the old one back, stamp stamp stamp - the possibilities are endless

Is it better to roll around in it when it hits, that nasty icky totally unreasonable (and if you look at it god forbid logically totally not making any sense) fear, is it better to bathe in it fully, really imbibing in it’s un-usefullness and wickedness… or is it better to push through as if it isn’t happening at all - as if your brain isn’t coating everything you think,...
This is our “Music from A Bachelors Den” - the sound of loneliness turned up to ten. A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed And it sounds just like this. This is the sound of someone losing the plot - making out that they’re okay when they’re not. You’re gonna like it, but not a lot and the chorus goes like this: Oh baby, here comes the fear again.

yearning and happiness
i wrote some of this to an artist friend she asks questions I ask hazily but she asks them outloud - and her railing about things as they are and were is a voice that I have heard inside of myself, we are different but I feel we are very much the same and I’m very thankful I met her.. my artistic and creative goals are ethereal, a mass of shape and sound and colour, an ever changing...
