Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia

anaesthesia

...more the patient screams,

“give me more” but no one hears!

cardinal, come lull away all pain and anger

bring forgetfulness of every sorrow,

vulnerable moving in the mysteries,

we still don’t know how it works

these altered states of arousal.

constant neuron chatter gives way to chant

in a hierarchy of shutdown,

where are you in this reversible coma?

rejuvenation of body parts

cut wide open, crack, and no pain.

where is the seat of consciousness?

coming in and out aware but paralyzed,

five frequencies of brainwaves:

gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta;

can you believe a friend wants you to like it?

 

anaesthesia

...behind lace veil vogue arabia

slept in her makeup with lollipop lips.

slow zine awareness now time slips,

vodka up water back of consciousness

hard problem in chanel ready to wear,

rolls royce through a desert flowered

with wind turbines of irregular spin.

opened and closed circuits of deep meditation

now frozen in dreams of sleep paralysis.

desert lark and pharaoh eagle-owl

calm, contemplating the cultivation of wisdom:

all the technological wizards, the nuclear giants

with so much power,

yet still we are such ethical adolescents

and wisdom dwarfs.

can human make human understand,

love without wisdom is pain?

exalted mental state, deeper sleep,

caviar gin and champagne

cocktail imagery

imagine feeling every wireless transmission

passing through an oasis of fake trees

at perfectly spaced intervals,

jutting green insta-bright then dimming!


 

anaesthesia

...flow transcendent muse

from places to statis where the I reigns

with or without antennae,

wake in the white light of void code mode

in this matrix. we all need to create a ster (stir)

selflessness, timelessness, effortlessness, then richness;

knocking out networks, driving attention!

absorbing digital data using a tiny part

of the electromagnetic spectrum,

giving birth to far more information,

unconscious processing vaster and faster

stealing fire, migrating us into the super -natural...

goatsucker, it is big data for our minds.

not my will but thy will...caught in ether state.

“morpheus, they have become so numb, it’s senseless.

it might be the artificial intelligence we created

that prevents us from destroying our own world.”


 

anaesthesia

...sagacious wise one

with your foot on the tortoise,

you say wake love in all forms

to the power of discernment and judging rightly.

openness, attentiveness, emotional intelligence,

but especially reflectiveness;

contemplate this... may all love’s retinue cultivate wisdom.  

preparedness is critical says my oracle

goddess survivalist accelerating immortality.  

endure... suffer... don’t just pass through, live in it,

life! some philosophical investigation this was;

a surgery, a drink, a dream,

where does this lead, nightjar?

impulse comes from somewhere and starts to sing…

to the tune of love sweet love.

 

what the world needs now is to cultivate wisdom, keen wisdom.

it’s the only thing that there’s is just so little of...

 

what the world needs now is wisdom keen wisdom.

to know thyself my love, it’s the only way to love, sweet love.

what the world needs now is wisdom, keen wisdom.

it’s the only thing that there’s is just so little of...
