A Fantasy Of Gorse-Shit In The Hills Of La-La-Land

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

Far below in the Wasteland breathes the Dragon Lizard
Plumes of self-suffocating smoke drift upwards
Ego-encapsulated entities reach desperately in its wake, looking for elevation -
For the Seat of 'Perceived' Power & Control
Which seems to lie just out of reach!

An elephant comes into town and goes ape shit
'Must as they say, or 'Must-Must' as he says
"But there is no 'Must', all is voluntary
Even if it be shrouded in Mist",
Observes the elephant, flapping its ears in indignrritation

Floodlights come on unexpectedly, trapping Human Doings in Intensity
Some become mesmirised by trinkets
These self-styled 'Diamond Merchants'
Who cannot tell Gold from Iron Pyrites

Breathe on Brother
Breathe on Sister
Breathe on Life!

The action moves beyond the cries of the downtrodden
Whose boots tred heavily upon those 'deserving' to be put down even lower than they themselves feel
PlayUP, actOUT - tick tock, tick tock
Updrifts of wailing confusion and pain merge with Dragonsmoke
"Who cares who hurts, just as long as someone else does"

Yes the action moves beyond the fragmented self, the self-abusive-self, the abusive-self-itself
Beyond the 'power' of the Dragon.

It's about time anyhow!

Meanwhile, above in the rarefied air
All is calm and the breeze blows with Equal Freshness on Each weary shoulder
Smells from rotting corpses and the open running sewers
Do not infiltrate this place of No Division

The Gorseshit on the hills is of the genuine grassy variety -
No mocking fakery, no disharmonious re-branding of first principles
No fickle crowd to exchange back-scratching favours with
No more gloomy circularity of paranoid reptillian mental enslavement.

"Pain is mandatory" mumbles the quizzical ET on the hill -
Smoking a fat grass joint in the door of his spaceship,
"But Suffering my friend, is optional!"

That notion really seems to be in the air today <3 As if I could definitely say what you meant, not very likely. It reads like a Rohrschacht blot, but the image is rather clear here for me anyway ;)

Thank you very much PP - I had to go away and read a little bit about the Rohrschacht blot, but the image is now clearer for me and I like it 🔆

If you think 'Gorseshit' is more than a combination of 'Gorse' and 'Shit', feel free to let me know what connections you are making.

I never heard of the word 'gorse' before as I read the title my first thought was the sheep- and goatshit around me and I wondered if I live in LA-LA land

Fair enough

as I read the title my first thought was the sheep- and goatshit around me

Title doesn't contain the word 'sheep' or 'goat', but perhaps you are saying that you thought a 'gorse' was an animal, something like a sheep or a goat? Personally, I like 'Gorseshit', dunno much about goatshit.

I wondered if I live in LA-LA land

My belief is that only you may be knowing whether you do or you do not. I do not know whether you do or do not live in LA-LA land!

Thank you for sharing these 'connections'.
