Flesh is the everlasting cool ~
The nice thing about a conscious heart is that it does not hide.
In this day and age I affirm it’s simply not “cool” to be hurt, embarassed, wrong, in need, and many
other feelings we silly humans tend to just feel once too many times in this thing called life.
No we’re not silly. Forgive my sarcasm, plastic faces and plastic hearts carries no charm to me.
And I see them all the time, at bars, on tv, in L.A., people who show none of the feelings that would
categorize them by other cool people as, un-cool. How detrimentally sad that is.
We live and we learn you know, but if you don’t really live what does that make you? Cool and dumb?
To fully live is to at times feel like you’re gonna die because of what someone did or said to you. Yeah
that’s dramatic, and so is life.
Life bleeds and screams, leaks at the eyes, smiles at the mouth.
LIFE IS DRAMATIC- SO IS LIFE.
You see many when faced with any kind of adversity default to the apathetic saying
“That’s life!”… engaging in such philosophy is dangerous, buying the expensive ticket to an impaired
life, refusing to acnowledge the deep pain within you that says “It’s unjust” and saying instead
“That’s life” may look poised at the surface but you alone can still hear your soul screaming
in agony inside. Not worth it. I see it all the time, people drink themselves to death over that, people
shop themselves to bankruptcy over that, people eat to hundreds of pounds over their normal weight
over that, people raise children without knowing them at all over that, people divorce their once love
over that,
people, who will not stop being people, will do whatever they can in the attempt to shut their
human hearts, to trade full living for an impaired life to keep it cool on the outside.
Be un-cool. Feel.

You deserve a commendation for being noticed way out on page 61. Scattered hybrid lines, lying somewhere between prose and poetry but passionately and thoughtfully developed, if somewhat casually presented.
Dang, comments like yours really pleases me! Thanks Ken! Bummed that there’s such an overload of posts that mine ends up coming on pg.61 but too cool that even so, it still gets read by persons like yourself, who grasps well my intention and approach to what I share. Thanks! S.
