Yeah, the moon sure gets in the way, doesn't it?
I'm thinking... Why is the new moon such a holy time?
Because it is not there!
Also the promotion of people out of the sub-lunar
to serpents, becoming Venus and Mars entity types.
Millay and Dickinson had very different life outcomes.
I'd like to know why. Maybe one ate of the wrong tree.
I'd like to know if that luminous being, inthyphallic,
built like Hulk Hogan squared, kneeling on his right
knee, with me to his right side so I saw how-very hung,
"the perfection of masculine beauty", as I think the
prophet claims of himself; And I recognized him in the
picture of some Tarot card, the Thoth card as I recall;
I'd like to know if my vision was a good or bad entity.
I came to work planning to read a huge Thoth harvest,
but napped instead. I dreamed I was in a ritzy hotel,
and wandering in hallways and elevators as is typical
in such dreams, and I carried a pole with something on
it (a serpent?) and went past a stage show of dancers,
taking a few smooth steps on the way out, and entered
into a plush suite where, of all people, unmistakable,
Jim Carrey was sitting there, with a boy on his lap.
I was going to empty some spare change out of my pocket
into a gym bag I found there, but didn't want it mixed
with his money in the bad, so I put it down in a sock.
Someone was asking him if he didn't drown children in
the ocean, and he replied, lying, Nooo, all the while
showing knowledge of what it was like to drown, but
ascribing that deep knowledge to the boy in his lap.
That questioner asked about Ram-sies, and I heard it
like Lamb-sies, but later recognized it was Ramses.
And Jim answered something about getting rid of them,
but "them" seemed to refer to several mushroom-like
growths on his face, which were plainly still there.
And I recalled a web page discussing that Moses face
had "rays", mistranslated horns, but meaning shining.
And the questioner touched Jim's hair, and told him
he should see a doctor about that hair, and I thought,
Why a doctor, not a barber? Then I noticed that Jim
was hairy all over, like an ape, another Thoth icon.
And the questioner opened his mouth as big as that
Led Zepplin album cover, until it was nothing but a
circumference and a glottis, and it shouted at us:
"I LOVE MONEY!".
Maybe that's a clue in my good/evil disambiguation.
Yours truly,
