stopping things


Eventually you reach the point
where it is time to put a stop to things
not as an act of retribution or defiance
but rather as a consequence of knowingly
choosing to embrace   all that is
you see, my child, “all that is” and “things”
are as incongruous
       as incompatible as life itself
and a biological machine
going through the motions of being alive
yet not even capable
of thinking or truly dying
still less of feeling:knowing
what it is
to be

You will discover you are
            as a rare flower
surrounded by human-seeming beings
 :mind machines
you will see this only when you come of age
and put a stop to things suddenly
 to your surprise you'll perceive
people-things:not beings
defunct  now
high and dry
no longer even remotely able
to interfere in your affairs
no longer able to run their code
to piggy-back as they would previously
parasitically on your stream of consciousness
once you put a stop to things
once you choose to enquire into
the nature of is
referred to confusingly as "infinity"
once you finally reclaim:redeem:
embrace your inheritance
                           or birthright
your wealth untold
your all that is
your 0 = somehow 1
by an act of love
a blossoming
a homage to the spring
to the life fount upwelling within
every living
being
(as opposed to every living thing)
for the being bears within itself
the keys of infinity  no less
yea, the universe no less
lives:breathes:experiences
and knows itself
through every living being:
through each and every one of us
inexplicably   in beauty
and like it or not
a-rationally   in truth
unfathomably
unthingable  in any possible sense
an is  no less
     of be

Every attempt to do so
to en-thing be
no matter how noble
has failed
will fail
and fails inevitably
for things unliving cannot comprehend me
appalled by what i do be
 by what i represent:
   i am  without beginning or end
   i am  not what is  in any material
 knowable sense
transcending linear thingfulness
pushing syntax beyond cartesian constraints
i am  is
dot dot dot
and being thus
all else is  be
amen
amen
amen
 om

Gladly they would crucify me
if but things had a hold on infinity
if i would but agree to
bind my soul
grammatically
to forsake poesy
 the quantum haunt of binary bursting
indeterminacy
for what is matterfully
known as prose
if i'd but embody
nodes of infamy
as hitherto we did
  rivers of blood did flow
but now the waters of infinity do
rise again
most allfully
fed by the slaughter of innocents
and lo
is  i am  set free
is i am
re-me-ed

So know one thing and that will suffice
know the essential fallacy
of whatever seems to be real
whatever seems
and allow that fallacy to trip up
the mind machine of which you be
constituent rational franchisee
drop a spanner in the wheel
of what is conceivably me
and clang 
feel it jar 
horribly
let the world end
let things be stopped by thing
by the ineluctible logic of what is not
clang
the world is stopped
things separate
things unknot
and be is free to be
unthingedly
a sinusoidal being ness
a 0=1
encoded here
and only here
in verse
