secrets of the universe


These?
oh they're dandelion greens. you can wilt them with some bacon fat, they're not bad
but I'm not going to eat 'em, they're for my iguana
and he likes 'em plain. iguanas are totally vegetarian you know. except for a few crickets.

but no soybean products for him; or me!! forget about it.
that monsanto corporation dickin' around with the genetic modification
making frankenfood and shit......it's just---- too creepy..
there's always weird stuff going on in secret
like, do you know about the phantom time hypothesis? the phantom time hypothesis?
no?
wel-l-l-l-l, dig it. the early middle ages never happened.
these historians made it up..... it's all fake.
a con-spir-acy.
when they made the gregorian calendar,
they just concocted all the stuff that supposedly happened, for like, 300 years.
after the roman empire collapsed, before the real middle ages?
it's all bullshit. fiction
you know, it's, it's....just......weirdness happening in secret.
like one time i was out in the middle of nevada and i saw this tree
and it had thousands of shoes hanging up in the branches
and then at this cafe right outside area 51,
there's a tow truck with a flying saucer hanging from the hook.....seriously
and and inside the cafe, they had alien burgers,
i'm a not a vegetarian, i just eat food that's safe, because of
you know what: mad cow disease

my iguana is a vegetarian though,
except for the crickets.....
sometimes i can hear those crickets outside at night
like at that ghost motel in nevada,
they have all those secret weapons and slot machines and brothels in nevada
so i was sitting there in a lawn chair looking at the moon and listening to those crickets
and I got to thinking

what is life? you know?
life is like, like
contrary to the second law of thermodynamics
because life actually, actually, decreases or maintains it's entropy
by feeding on negative entropy.
so no heat can enter or leave.
but my iguana, he's a heat lovin' fool!
he likes to sit in the sun.
 eatin' these dandelion greens.
see he's got it figured out. i wish i did.......

because out there in the desert, you see some amazing things
i was looking at these trout that were just hovering' in a little desert stream
and there were all these hikers looking at some petroglyphs
and then i saw this big ball of garter snakes gettin it on. awesome.
fifty fornicatin' garter snakes.
out in the wild desert. i mean, nature is just so...
 but people... you know....they just....well
 this little dude, must been about five years old, was tired and cryin'
"why daddy why? i can't take it anymore, i have to crawl."
then his mom lights up a cigarette and goes
ok, enough nature, let's go to the gift shop.

this other time i was in the jungle
and i saw a buddha carved into a cliff...incredible
then these tourists go riding by on elephants
and i was like, what the fuck is this----?
but it was so beautiful there, and the people who live there
were planting rice and it was just so ........peaceful or ....I don't know...

and oh!
they have these dogs and the dogs just look at you
and you can see it in their eyes
they aren't just normal dogs, i mean they have this look
like they're really really smart.

those dog's eyes,     it's like they know something that we........
well, i mean, those people on the elephants
with their cameras and safari gear, do they ever see it?

but anyway, now i have to think of us as part of a self/nonself discrimination.
it feels like some kind of path dynamic in a semi arid system
it's all out there in the jungle and the desert, see?

i'm just hanging tight to scraps of observation,
a tolerance for chance. it's not like chess,
but i''ll take a piece of chess pie, unh huh
a little slice of oklahoma home cookin!

do you think there's a god up there?
I don't know, it doesn't really matter
because in the end, aren't we all
just........dust?
