Cutting the Cheez

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion. - Jack Kerouac Nisha's writing and quotes here, re-blogging at modYoda

In the temporary nature

We seek permanence

In cynicism

We seek joy

What is right or wrong?

Is that the question to ask?

No answer...

Memory

The profoundness of humanity can be discovered in the silence amongst the myriad of moments. Awaiting a bus. A train. Sitting in a seat. Through a symphony. The moment you achieved. Whether it's a. Spelling bee. New job. Sex twice in a day. The beauty. That's really what we count. In our pervasive memorabiliality.

I thrive between duty and resistance.

The blood rushed to my pleasure.

Can I be sad today So I can live tomorrow? So I can breathe and spin And love the clouds and moist air The scurrying squirrel and the Alley trash I want to shed my skin and rebirth Problem is that it is all still there A slight renewal baring a little more Stronger and wiser and more weak Intimate and scared But ready to speak

As I read about the Mestiza Oppression And pondered about loss I cocked my head slightly To the left Reading And felt the cool curl of my damp hair Hit my earlobe My body shook And cried Inside For the calm beauty And reprieve Of a peaceful soothing Surprise

I can't say

What makes me What changes me Which world will drive me Today Which plane will take me Away Which ology will be my Chron But a constant remains And a history sustains Or else...

Connect

It's been awhile Of time Of future thinking And present rapping Past lifetimes And chapter beginning The love And new I won't say I do But I do I yearn I have But I bore Connect me more

"This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing any gambling situation, I would watch very closely. It's like the Negro in America seeing the white man win all the time. He's a professional gambler; he has all the cards and the odds stacked on his side, and he has always dealt to our people from the bottom of the deck."
