slowly too slowly

Oh thank you dear Bali for all you do give for letting me within your confines to live. I love your green meadows your tall soaring cliffs the way you know how my flagged spirits to lift and how you do mete out your punishments justly upon we who waver 'twixt shining and crusty. Oh thank you for hosting my feet and my hands and making sure I see your coveted lands and making sure I don't forget what I came for – to drink in your beauty and taste of your camphor. Please let me stay longer please don't let me go to places less awesome to places more low for I am your son born in a distant land which slowly too slowly I now understand.

nary a tank

Now up from the depths of the deepness arose a great mighty creature in some deathly throes. It thrashed and it walloped and beat at the boat that upon the heaving waves did try to float. With heaving and straining the men finally could wrestle the big fish up out of the sea and it did then lie there its own life-force spent its pierced bellies bleeding its scaly hide rent. Then off for another the brave men they dove while currents and hunger their wanderings drove in search of their quarry they surfaced and sank with just mask and snorkel and nary a tank.

bright and bent

He got in the depths of the jungles of Java a symbol as old as the sun – our great father. Its angles are bent to four different directions yet of the Vast Nothingness it's a reflection for such is the might of the force it contains that it his own lifeline has forever changed. To bear such a symbol is power and blight but if it all else should for him turn to night that will be the cost of the horror he's wrought of all of the sadness he himself begot. For at his fourth chakra it sits bright and bent and until his chi shall be too-fully spent to bear up its beauty he'll have at his chest a swastika unlike most all of the rest.

first ever spy

On this day of Wotan he'll venture anon to there from which rises the bright mighty sun. It's not sure he'll make it or fail in his task but there in its glory and might he will bask and stare at the mountain that's been there since man did first let his footfalls ring out on this land. The trek will be long and the path will be rough but he will not pause for his spirit is tough and up to the challenge and down for the pain since none but he himself stands something to gain. With shoes strapped on tightly and a woolen cap and some minor sundries stuffed in a knapsack will he soon ascend to the top of the peak that daily does challenge the strong and the weak that has been first foremost before his mind's eye since he its steep outlines did first ever spy. Enough with this talking let's go without haste the high mountain eddies to sample and taste – this journey must start at a logical rung so off to climb soaring and mighty Agung.

talents to flaunt

It's not so much worry need lust pride or want that causes each of us our talents to flaunt. Now whether it's clothing or a fancy car or standing just right at the edge of the bar or lighting a charlie with a single match – it all boils down to entering some snatch. This one single impulse drives all of mankind for it is first foremost on all of men's minds and leads them to look for a home for their dicks in bodies male female thin fat skinny thick. To spend time just chasing and impressing tail – is that now a solid and honor-full trail to follow and stick to and keep on repeating or is it a hobby that's not worth repeating? If something ain't broken why search for a fix so delve-dive back into mankind's oldest mix, embracing such patterns as have proven right from sunset to sunrise from morning to night.

outlines and glory

Soon off to the island and its reddish clay will he be returning in its waves to play. A bus it is waiting and soon will depart but he will not advance too far from the start. The others competing are good and well-trained yet failure in winning his honor won't stain for in him a kernel of self-love does grow too small yet its outlines and glory to show. It's more for the fun and the camaraderie that he will be braving the roads and the sea wherefore he's not worried wherefore he'll just smile upon every breaker and every mile.
