Inessential integral
original spoken-word
Are they integral?
A way of life uncynical
Sees side-flung recreation
A subliminal ablation
Seminal inspirance
Towards the serious.
Coronary, the centre
Or prerequisite periphery?
While I gamed I had an epiphany:
It's all the same how we gravitate
To the comfort of community no matter
The costume - lost fumes of the oracle
Emanate from the hostel of hades, ear to
The ground listening to ancestral admonition
Where the patterns speak through parched lips.
Through archetypes of whimsical art enlivened,
Further from reality or towards it are we ripened?
Hyphen - dot - ethereal telegraph - dit - dah - laugh
Print - pause - paint - clash - unwieldy wrath
Reedem - sling misery - through frills
And games - innocent wizardry -
Or daunting druglike shame?

This piece addresses the seeming dichotomy between what is seen as important and what is seen as disposable. For instance, games & art, as opposed to jobs & science. Ultimately, we know these aspects of life are inextricably intertwined. So maybe consider this a bit of medicine for a left-brain worshipping culture. Check out the recording on
