Part Seven

Jandek


Given the gravity 
It's the same chair 
Slide into the spot 
Gleam off the polished stone 
Carved metal cast 
It's all weeping outside 
The observation of a slow day 
Taken away, the catapult 
Springboard to the next thought 
All indexed 
The slow steps of orderly pursuit 
The unfolding execution 
The small parts of the day spent not remembering 
Everything is next 
Quantity does not exist 
We forgot to count 
Crammed in a canister 
All the powder contained 
Great gains of consciousness 
Whoever thought it would be like this 
Such an even keel 
Constant, controlled 
The happiness of well being 
Bloom the once-time annual 
Capture the essence 
The train must leave without me 
I stand and fail to move 
Wistful sad revelation 
It's not necessary to continue 
Trying to find something lost 
Trying to find something new 
You have all you want 
The worship of God 
Undirected by a plan 
It's a glorious meander 
Creamy days 
Dreamy ways 
The only way to compensate 
Is to float into yes 
Fear was the other door 
The chance is freely given 
Open it up 
Thank you for the courage 
I didn't die with the wrong bets 
They just made me know 
You as you appeared 
Like the still breeze 
I said to myself, aha 
So this is what I'm living for 
I didn't know it was so comfortable 
All the clock watching adolescence 
When will it be over so I can be free 
Freedom is your loving glance 
Your light dark warm chill 
The feel of you through my body 
The magic your embrace bestows
