mindset reality

Reality seems to be

a serial sequence of mindsets,

as an arrangement

of framed repeatable formats

that people originally learn

and then refined

from usage over time.

Much like the way

a disc jockey has cassettes

of pre-recorded songs,

labeled and readily available.

He or she just selects, slots,

flips a switch and plays.

So much of reality has sets

and cues that indicate

a play selection

that has already been ordered.

An appropriate behavior pattern,

a series

of conversational responses,

topics cued

and ready to be vocalized,

proper referencing

of satiable material,

inter-actional exchanges

that check off of a list,

canned laughs,

the right manipulation

of apparel

and other personalized props,

all preordained

behind the appearances

as managed.

All almost below the horizon

of awareness, handled . . .

The mindsets,

all have various promptings.

The soundboard is invisible.

The master board is

mindful persona.

The selection process

gets better with practice.

It’s a job,

having regular hours.

If you are good,

there is notoriety,

even popularity

and some advance of fame.

Audience approval

is always appreciated.

It presumes rites of passage.

Stealth towards wealth

is possible.

No one is asking

for real any more.

It is a kind of insularity

like fame.

Celebrity is being on

most of the time.

You go from AM to FM,

maybe even to video

if you have an “it” factor.

There is lots of surface,

but secretly, a reenactment

of the wizard of oz,

done in a low profile way.

Find compatible mindset types

and mingle towards approval.

Experience itself

is a kind

of applause and reward.

To quote;

“the fish are in the aquarium,

and the vacuum is in the closet.”

The fridge is relatively full

and restock is for upgrades

of sustainable distractions.

If it gets to be seamless,

the pharmacy

becomes your confident.

Where you live in this morass

is really how you live.

Decades may come and go

like chapters daydreamed through.

Pets are significant

because they don’t buy into

or inherently care

about your act.

Something really different

is really hard to come by.

The studio is taken for granted

to always be there.

Cynical is the backside

of manipulation

towards agreement.

Shallow can be laughing back.

There are discreet notes left

that say, “help me,

I am being held hostage

by illegibility”.

They scratch the surface.

True friendship

realizes the same prison.

Sharing from there, is relief.

It is hard to get off the air.

Mindset reality

is a commercial success.

And that success

is a heartless addiction.
