a quiet stream through a saneself

Rush Hour

Shrood the Shoulds! and Musts! with Coulds
then/if [conditional] creatures crawl through
the [tick-tock] tangly web of the nihilo+ἀρχήness monster.
Studies show, studies, show studies, show
Cups of caffeine [and other sorts of fiendish -eines]
slows down Time. [or the personperception of it]
{but conciousness is what is any way worth of the while
waiting} room, stalling room, haystalls stacked
of people squeezing into Emptiness by filling
freeway cars with shaking fists and screaming
“shit!” when the guy in the tractor swings
his five-mile-an-hour-turn without a blinker.

    that’s awfully pretty.
    (keep sane keep sane
    keep self together/torn
    perfectly.)

  2. It's strange how you and Andrew Stephens write so similar. I'm often confused by who's who.

  3. in this case, it's andrew shepherd.

    but i did add him as a facebook friend only moments ago.

    perhaps he will sometime read this
    and have something to add about the similarity
    of all the -tephens and -hepherds
    in the world.

  4. Or about the congruency of all the Andrew S's in the world.

  5. we're saying the same thing.
