My Mommy Is My Daddy:
2 Pages from my upcoming book.
UPDATE: I’m researching self publishing sites and methods of conversion for Apple Books, Amazon and print.
These are two images from my book “My Mommy is My Daddy,” the color version. The book will be available for purchase soon. It is cut paper collage edited in Photoshop.
These images remind me of a prose I wrote about ten years ago.
“BUILD UP”
The only thing you need to know is that you know nada
the only thing is everything the truth will take you further
take a look around you global warming make it hotter
I like you naked anyway and waiting in the water
There is no separation
were all one creation
if we open mind we can learn from masturbation
I love you like I love myself
I’m so conceited
you can take the compliment because I don’t need it
I guess that means I love you
because I am of you
recycled matter I’m not above you.
The strongest hold is the weakest link
we don’t evolve then we go extinct
subconsciously unconsciously just given in
time to take back the world I’m living in
cause it’s my world and my sun
I be the golden child and the chosen one
I I I want the knife
cause its my pie and my slice
we got to eat to live and we work to eat
so we work to live we give our hands and feet
can’t raise our kids
can’t get no sleep
we get shackled up
cause free life ain’t cheap
Where you people going
What you people think you doing
Our build need to build up
And let them sift through the ruins
I heard it’s lunacy to repeat history
The education system is a crook to me
mostly crooked stairs
full of crooked chairs
who owned some companies
screaming life is fair
well life is short
without healthcare
my life’s your favorite sport
but who the hell cares
you better jump through hoops for that welfare
because I got a job
won’t you get one
and how they look at you
makes you want to hit one
so I hit one
on my one hit
and I unified my 2-spirits
and I drift off
the pen in hand
the ocean is gray
but I don’t need land
I sleep with a pen
so I can write what I dream
when I woke up
my pen was lost in the seams
but it seems like I can’t fill in between
but I feel like a modern-day Martin Luther king
got many ideas And visions
small epiphanies about living
many epiphanies
I’m trying to build a pyramid
*uck a Tiffany’s
Don’t give in
I guess currently these images remind me that nature is supposed to be free. As a human race nature helps us connect with something more powerful than the frivolities of finding a coffee or a parking spot. It tells us that we are a part of something bigger. Hopefully we can see the life around us and the beauty in it.
The words that attend these images were written because people have become so lost. We are emotional wrecks, psychologically impaired and sucked into technology. We want fast, immediate, entertainment and self soothing people that agree with our odd and outrageous behavior. Nature, that has been left to naturally grow in its habit, is rare and not easily accessible, likely due to us wanting products easily accessible instead. So how do we find collective truth, healing, happiness? We all want the same things, to be happy and live without need, yet we can not. We can not let one another live.
