Κyβεrpοετica

 

Learn to plug the gap,

Turn off the synapse,

Get the brain to stop whirring.

 

It’s inspiration I’m feeling.

It’s as if I’m suspended from the ceiling

Looking down on the minute processes

Of life.

The breathing of my wife

As she’s sleeping,

Not for me right now that state of being,

I’m wide awake,

The mind is an amazing thing,

Even though you may want to control

It’s beyond that control.

 

Κyβεrpοετica.

 

Steer me on the right course,

Let me find the right feeling within

And without.

Take me to new lands and new modes

Of living.

Islands of habitation within

A great sea of energy;

Waves never stopping, sometimes calming,

but always potential waiting to be stirred

Up.

I can see those waves extending

Into the known universe.

The nearest stars touch my face,

Caress my retina and free my senses.

They are bright beacons, lighthouses,

In an ever shifting and surging ocean.

 

Retina to occipital lobe,

Occipital lobe to frontal lobe,

Frontal to parietal to temporal

To limbic, hippocampus, hypothalamus,

Reticular formation and Vagus.

Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Calm yourself, you’re only human.

You have to live in this body you know,

You have to live on this earth you know,

You know so well.

 

Take the Κyβεrpοετica, treasure it,

Make it an electronic extension of

The body.

Corpus magnum.

Corpus.

From end to end the blue flame runs,

From the centre to the extremities.

Cardiac plexus. Home.

Begin to move now, move to another place

Where once was bad is now good,

Where once was sadness is now joy,

Where there is respite in an ever

Changing World.

 

Soon we will wonder why we ever

lost the innocence of childhood.

There will come a natural progression

To an innocent state once more,

Where we feel an extension

And oneness with all nature:

Animals, trees, plants, rocks and

Water

Water flowing like the blood of the Earth

Through deep veins and rock-hewn arteries,

Miles below the surface at great heat

And never seeing the light of day.
