Mind Slide

by

Daniel Bradbury

Beaten and bleeding

Slamming through thought processes

Like flack jacket jack hammers

And marmalade martyrs

Crushed with rocks in Salem in 1692

And spread on my New Millenium toast points

I howl while you bite voice

And choke it back before it can hurt

And my verbal daggers go unguided

And we're at the roots of seperate evils

Head butting and grinding

But the evil of poetry will triumph

Because it's evil disappears when unopposed

Evil is stripped like muddy clothes

To reveal the glittering dark

Of eyes taped shut for too long

I'll trade you day for night

And right for wrong

Interchangeable are the elements of physical life

One can rearrange the makings of the spititual bright

And gaze on the eye of Dog

And pat the head of God

Drunk in the reverence of the mysteries

Stumbling home to the arms of emptiness

Seeing what is meant to be seen

Hearing what is meant to be said

Coming and going as two beings

Giving and taking the "True Feeling"

Orgasm of blindness

At one with oneness itself... but...

Stop!

Brush off and go home
The dirt will be here tomorrow night

And the rain will be back next winter

beyond doubt

But these feelings...

Intuitions are fleeting

Give in, little child

Step away from your night light

And come dance with me in the dark
Because "...darkness is not to be seen as

or equated with ignorance..." *

Or danger

Set yourself free child.

* From Saul Williams' "Coded Language"
