in the loop

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
in order to get the gist
i took my knotted fist
punched it through the gizzard
of a giant wizard lizard,
king of a magma river,
walking away like a shiver
from condensational fuzz.
float along on the buzz,
a hive of robot stop abodes
on a train that rides roads.
choo-freaking-choo
don’t stop, don’t hit no brake,
swerving on like a rattlesnake,
the nonagon doors open infinitely,
go on, enter indiscriminantly.
 
don’t believe me?—
the scoop is in the loop—
can’t escape to even poop.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Part of the Wait. What?!? collection. A playful absurdist tribute to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/)...particularly the wonderfully inescapable Nonagon Infinity (enter in from any track, play on repeat and try it out: https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/nonagon-infinity-2). If you've never explored the band, do yourself a favor. They've wandered through psychedelic rock, folk, jazz, metal, garage rock, jam music, synth-pop, microtonal experiments, and more. Chances are they've made an album for at least one corner of your musical taste. Go ahead. Look them up. I dare you. Double dare, even.

    a helter skelter of a read my friend

    I love the style of music from my era. White rabbit, purple haze, strawberry fields forever. Not familiar with this one though. A fun write with the rhyme that bounced it along to the end. Well done my friend.
