Cheap people like to holler --  same as low rent thoughts push to be heard.
Life In The Jungle --  The Actual World.
 In a pride of lions  --  anyone who wants to BE noticed --  doesn’t GET noticed.
(One tiger’s take is: “Self appointed bulls-eyes are good for one thing only.”)
 

One man says: “I’m gonna tell you the truth: ‘bout the only way I can bear being subject to that sleeping state of consciousness is  --  to be asleep.”
 

In your odd moments chew on this sixty-four dousand throller boombah:
the only thing standing between you and enlightenment is your brain.
 

A man who has no interest in his cow-side
has no concern over what others may believe they know about it.
 

One man’s principle when stuck at home is: “Have a back-up,”
but when he manages to escape and is in a non local reality it becomes:
“Have no back-up  --  it ruins it.”
 

Only by talk and thought is life made to seem sufficiently interesting
to keep civilized men from going mad.
 

One man's view is: "Once you become sufficiently sophisticated to appreciate it:
man's concocted, other-reality can truly take-your-breath-away --
which presents no danger seeing how it's already taken away most of your best parts
long before then anyway."
Only trapped hogs hate being                                 --                                       trapped hogs.
 

All theories, concepts, postulates, opinions and beliefs about matters in the mental world are just fancy names for, uninvited guest ('course if you're a solid citizen of the city you don't see it like that  --  no!  "Come on in!  --
there's always room for one more slopper!")
 

There persists a rumor that this one god made-up absolutely everything
he told his creatures  --  which may first sound shocking  --
until you think about it for a second (which his creatures surely are not formed to do).
 

All of life is a metaphor  --  excluding hypodermic syringes and the I.R.S.
 

Only those not fully awake to what is going on
have any interest in thinking about how awake or not awake may be anyone else.
 

A real man will not even speak of the non manly deeds of others.
 
 
 

There are two ways to check the voltage of your household current:
one is to compose gloomy odes  --  the other is to not.
And one man’s private motto is: “But if you leave the motor running.....”
Only those living in the city, their thoughts in a dream,
have an interest in the debate of whether: what goes up must come down or not;
from city perspectives that is, wherein men’s mental wiring is such that
they continually dis-distinguish ‘tween the technical world
(the physical one outside their house where things can be predicted),
and the non technical one inside their residence where --  anything-goes  --
where there are no controlling laws of science --
only the law of mechanical thought (which states):
anything a thought says is so --  is for that instant  --  so.

If you still have trouble seeing that life itself is alive,
go for a drive on a busy freeway amidst cars going eighty miles an hour,
inches from one another, their operators giving scant attention to the task at hand  --   --  yet it works;
clear your head  --  be alert in the moment  --
then marvel at the beautifully choreographed life, life leads.
For city folks, it’s good enough to start wearing seat belts at seventy  --
hey, you went that long safely without them;
do you begin to get it?  --   to see that that is how life thinks for man, through man.
