Stupid, Simple Lines
in a dream an old woman said emptiness is the percussion of faith i woke up i wrote it down then fell back asleep later i woke to imagine i got that line from somebody from somewhere else so i looked it up i couldn't find it anywhere so i took it for myself as the product of my own experience in dreams before i use it i gotta figure out what it means if anything and no matter how it sounds if it don't mean anything then it's of no use so i'll think about it or at least try if a lot of other dumb shit don't crowd it out hopefully not cause it'd be nice if that line coerces even more maybe it will maybe it won't supposing if ya find it here then it didn't if it didn't maybe it will later in which case here is where i feel it needs to stay if it finds its home here but turns out to be more then the sidewalk magician's tricks come into play casting it as something else with luck maybe as good or even better than it is here oh these stupid simple lines offering hope some perverse nourishment promise for the day like a balding cad the silly dandy checking the mirror for growth from some catalog magic hair ointment giving him hope too with a few more strands a bit more stubble today then tomorrow it might give him the luck with the ladies he so desperately needs these stupid simple lines like a mutt lazily gnawing a dry bone instead of digging holes or chasing rabbits or bitches any of it all of it the writing the digging the chasing all futile? with nothing left but hope the emptiness of faith that somewhere in all these stupid words and stupid simple lines crowding out all the other stupid shit that someday an answer might appear
