awesome opossum. I just wrote this creative piece for something partially titled "Blue Jarred..." We are totally on the same wavelength, dude, how groovy is that?
"in a jar

Quite the conundrum. It's like a calm nightmare, or quiet chaos.
"my

You watch anime? Full Metal Alchemist. Reminded me of the fuhrer. Ah ignore me, I used to be quite the anime freak. But quite fitting, since the leader is the one who makes the decisions and then gets the blame when they don't go as planned.
Oh dear, don't think me weird but it is quite late just got hit by the biggest bout of sleepiness very suddenly. So this is only a half comment, which I will add onto in the future. My half baked comment for you.
the burning question is: the last time you were in the hospital did you think you were Jesus Christ or Hitler? No, don't take me seriously, you need to hang out with us more, don't you think?
and when I left the images of the day in ashes, then and only then could I begin with a tabula rasa, reborn as if none of it mattered
could life be a ride like that?
one where I could rest and trust in the glorious endings?
I slept like a log and woke up in the fireplace.

it's good to have you here sleepless knight, and to delve into this
rendering, what a pleasure!
You must have some twisted dreams dude lol. I notice your fascination with phoenix symbology, as I remember reading a previous poem of yours with that in it. And you know what? It's a symbol which has always echoed with me--as an archetype of transformation, as cyclic rebirth, as something that will always continue no matter how many times it dies (ie gets run over by careless cars on the road of life).
"Fuhrer" brings up some weird associations, namely, that of Hitler, the "father", right? I'm guessing you didn't mean it in the first instance, or maybe you did, as a symbol of 'caring' repression.
These "jaws of the sun" will swallow everyone at some point further on when it explodes, and to me, that's a realization that sh.it truly happens, but what can you do but ride it out until it comes? Resolve, even in the face of calamity.
Yadda yadda yadda. I was supposed to be at the beach hours ago, dammit lol.
