Description Throwing their nets out
lungs like a steamboat
      (Javelin hearts
      Javelin hearts)
grapeshot firing outwards like teeth
like rubies bloody rubies
all over the floor
    over the floor
    in the crowded air
    current sea
throwing their nets out
     (Vapid javelin hearts)
catching the fish that aren't
there in their minds
UFO telescoped eyes
     guns   guns

All of it firing squad splendor
All of it washing in Magma
  stones become water
  and water is air and sound
slashing and clanging and noising


drownitout   plugitout



      submerge.

violent with whiplash, the nature of people, the things we create and make which only ensnare

really powerful... there is an implied manicness, through the jumbled phrasing, the crazy images... lots of deep stuff going on and i notice you mentioned thom yorke ^, i was literally just about to make that comparison.
you've captured an element of his apocalyptic/social/political/abstract style but also made it your own very effectively.
this is too cool

Wow, thank you very much! I've always felt some kind of connection with Thom Yorke, like our minds work in similar ways.... not that I always understand him, but, y'know. I take that as a great compliment!

well, from reading your stuff i'd say you definitely share something with thom in there, and that is no bad thing

victory! And if you're wondering about my stated name on my page, I'm not just copying him for the fun of it, my middle name really is Thomas.

What does that mean?

Actually this was sort of intended to be a song... to which the music will never be written, so it's left a poem, but if anyone's ever heard Thom Yorke's "Skip Divided" I imagine it would feel like that.

Whoa, I bet I completely missed the point of that.
But I really liked the use of words and all.

Mythemia In reply to Unaccompanied-me [2008-09-26 02:42:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, fishing (of course). Kindof makes me think of the way people put themselves so openly out there, without fear of being hurt, and children, who don't know fear well enough to hide from it...

And then the way it can all go downhill.

You're pretty close with the people putting themselves out there thing...

That's a little part of it though... its just about how loud people are about nothing, kind of. It's hard to explain...

I only kind of get it myself to be honest... like I know what I'm feeling and why, but its hard to express it in any way except jumbled images...
