Mentality's Treasure

MENTALITY’S TREASURE Phosphate fingerprints tip-tapping the glassy shards,left from the broken pseudo-science of feeling. Hoping that amnesia can be capsulated, and synthesized and taken in pill form. And it can, if only temporarily... Blurring until the tempo of a word is only the vibration of aphid legs in the silent scream of space. The syllables crawling until the particles of speech slur, and slash across the jagged cliffs of forgetfulness. An insect in its death throes to forget the utterance of a word; that is myself struggling to misplace your name. The same word used to invoke notions of music box masterpieces attuned to Bach by candlelight. The same figment of imagination used to play a special kind of pretend. Pigmentation of oceanic overviews, the kind once called forever. Complete with sonnets and an "I love you," that contaminates even the ruins of relating. Each sound hieroglyphic; pictographs showcasing how a world burns. Each breeze, a winter attuned. All this clear-cutting, just to forest the tree we carved our initials on. Wanting so much to deplete the treasury mentality culminates. Lifetimes, it seems, spent losing the self in order to displace something. My world is offroading now, not wanting to follow the road-sign heartbeats that have always loved "You." This video was inspired by the above written piece, which I wrote some years ago.
