[split] a discussion on origins sparked by "The Order of Things"

[rowens]

You might not be able to tell from my poems, but I'm paying close attention to my words.

anticipate and project are powerful words.

All words are spells.

I have a statue of Jesus and the Heath Ledger Joker in my room.
It's a black Jesus. Jesus in blackface and Joker got white make-up.

Jesus & The Joker.
Jesus keeps me conscientious. My moral code. The Joker is my attitude.
Not afraid of death. Death is fine. Oblivion. Fear and Love are affects.

My nervous system has this recording that makes me assume morality. I stick with it. I choose to stick with it. Other recordings it has, like fear of pain and death, I ignore. Ignorance with a capitol I.

Ignorance, Mystery and Wonder.

If someone tells me I'm very intelligent, I agree, if someone tells me I'm stupid, I agree.

I'm proud. I'm proud of everything I am.

If I need to pull poetry out of my ass I do. If I need to pull physics or cooking or compassion out of my ass, I do.

For me there is no distinction, knowing, not knowing. So what?

I like to write. I like to play symbols on paper, air, screen.
I like the sound of my voice. And the sound of others' voices.
I like the smell of my farts.
I like the smell of beautiful women.
I liked the smell of the sweaty men I used to wrestle.

There is so much to like.

Some people like being angry. Some people like being right.

I like it all.
