Mag#131 Just Jump or Be Oblivious to Oblivion

Under Windsor Bridge, 1912, by Adolphe Valette

 

MAG 131

 

JUST JUMP

or

Be Oblivious to Oblivion

 

DON'T DO IT

DON'T PLUMMET FROM THE BRIDGE

QUITE YET

CUBISM WANTS TO BE INVENTED

TO GIVE YOU MORE DIMENSIONS

TO YOUR FLAT LINE LIFE

AS YOU SEE IT

YOU'VE EXPLORED

TOUCHED ONLY THE SURFACE

 OF THE RAGING

BRACKISH DEPTHS

THE SWIRLING CRUEL CURLS OF ENDLESS EDDIES

'ROUND AND 'ROUND YOUR TWISTED WORLD

HEAR THE RUSH OF THAMES

LISTEN TO THE DROWNED

CUT DOWN IN THEIR PRIME

TO SWIRL IN THIS WHIRLPOOL OF

THE QUICK AND THE DEAD

GONE BEFORE

YOU TRIED TO HOLD ONTO

SOME FALSE HOPE

TRIED TO SWALLOW THE WHOLE TRUTH

IS IT NOT TIME?

UNTIL YOUR TIME

YOU'RE

NOT  READY TO DEPART

CAN'T YOU WAIT A MOMENT

STAY SUSPENDED A SECOND

IT'S YOUR DIME, YOUR TIME

ALTHOUGH IT

LOOKS AS THOUGH

YOU'VE ALREADY LEPT

A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE, MAYBE MORE

FROM THIS ENDLESS BRIDGE

YOU STAND IN

THE GAP

BEFORE YOU

PLUNGE FULL THROTTLE

INTO THE LIGHT

OF THE GONE-BEFORE IMMORTALS

YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY

VICTORIOUS ALMOST

YOUR BELLY SWOLLEN

FULL OF LAST NIGHT'S

BANGERS AND MASH

ARTFUL

WAIT UNTIL

YOUR EYES SEE THE

ENDLESSNESS OF

 DAYS

SOON MY PRETTY

PEER OVER THE EDGE BRIEFLY TO SEE

 A THOUSAND SHIMMERING STARS

TRANSGRESS

UPON YOUR SOUL

A FORM IN THE SHADOW

THE BODY HAS

A RIGHT TO EXIST

TEMPORATANEOUSLY

AT LEAST

THIS SULTRY NIGHT

IMBUED WITH SEA'S SALT

MIGHTY

IMPENTETRATABLE SHADOW

FROM THE EARLY RAYS

FRAMES YOUR FORM

LIKE A STREET LAMP

ON A FOGGY MORN

CLOAKS YOUR IMAGE

WITH SUBDUED LIGHTING

WAIT UPON

HOWARD'S

 very END

WHEN

YOU finally UNITE

 WITH THE INFINITE

THEN YOU

CAN

JUST

JUMP

into

the abyss of INFINITY

AND BE OBLIVIOUS

TO oblivion
