Equalizer dots

-------------------------------------------

An alternative Reality
A dreadful drawn path of
M i s c o n c e p t i o n
To ones vivid imagination
The scale of their worth.
Rank of sanity.
I displaced my specs to view again
The world in its Mosaic form.
As if through the watercolors of Manet
As if through the surrealism of Munch
As if through the sentimentalism of Rockwell
The parks.
Shopping malls.
Up and down again.
Through the eventful pedestrian’s city street
Souls flutter past me like paper charades

In my congested ears
I stuck two paper balls
To stifle the sound of discretionary commotion
And sieve through the meaningless words
Listening to the world as would the
plants,
mammals
and sea creatures
Noise.

  you undoubtadly have your own style, which is truely admired in itself. I liked how this one was questioning more than stating until the end just as a change but most of what you state is all too true as well as what you question. I really don't have any complaints here...whatz new about that though rite? anyway I Liked this...theres MyX for ya...reminding us all that this society truely does, suck.
Peace

  This is a very well written poem. It is such an original style that you write with, very admirable! I like the uniqueness and the wording you choose to express your views, your feelings. The words make all the difference in writing and you have a great ability! To me this speaks of society and all its ignorance. How people walk around in noise just doing what is expected of them and not really paying attention to really "seeing" the world in its natural form. I like how you talk of puting paper balls in your ears to listen to world as nature would hear it. Just like an artist would! Excellent! Take care!

  Longing.
That's what you said this is about.
Longing for what?
Acceptance, wisdom, wisdom to accept non-acceptance...
And so on.
An alternative reality where worth is measured in other types of coin.
What do I like about this?
Well I like the barely suppressed scream for a start.
And the undercurrent of trying to be good.
I wouldn't bother; you're much more interesting as a writer...
Quid pro quo.

  So let me break it to you...softly. In about twenty years you will be my age and you will get your wish. People talk to you, you turn towards the noise, make little smiles and head nods. Perhaps ask them to repeat themselves, but if there is any other competing noise in the room, you won't get it the second time either. It's a [censored]. People assume you either are too conceited to care what they said or just plain stupid.

  The stuffing of paper balls in your ears would be rather painfull if achieved and I venture a guess not very effective in filtering out sound. In fact, paper balls have a habit of whispering words written with loud pens into the ears of those who try this caper.

  omg.
you turned.
(I've been reading all your work, loved the wake but was in the really lazy fat ass can't be arsed to comment on something so long. I know, I know and I'm sorry...)

But did you? Is this what I think it is? You've tried to change your view of the world, like I'm always harping on at you about your misanthropic, kugubrious outlook... it's like you've turned with a different shade of specs to try and see what it is that's so great, you've tried to find out if you really do have skewed viewpoint and yet..
It's still the same.
Nothing's changed?
it's all still a [censored] mess?
I dunno.
Is it?
If I'm wrong I'll let you beat me up.

  this is about how i'm feeling right now. paper charades about says it all.

deaf and blind -- doesn't seem too bad -- even if it is just losing specs and shoving spitballs in your ears.

  This one's much different than you're other works. A much different style. Since I've loved your other style for the longest, I can tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I did like your stretching out of the word misconception...

  Discretionary commotion and meaningless words. Tune them out, tone them down. I imagine when dogs hear us talk they hear something like, "blah blah blah food blah blah fido blah food." I wish I could tune out some of the crap that we are forced to listen to everyday.. I will give you some ear muffs so you can replace them balls of paper...Seriously though, when you wrote about the paper balls...it rang true.
