Space
synthwaves are a good example of how you can’t always be entirely grounded. I
mean, you need some grounding so you don’t float away completely (although, who’s
to say that’s bad?), but many of the ties we apply to our lives are tethers
more than grounding ourselves. My freestyle mind hasn’t been as strong in
recent years, repetitive vocabulary, redundant experiences. Saw a dude
freestyling in New Orleans who blew my mind on his immediate recall factor, so
I’ve been trying to freestyle a little more each day. Almost made this a “space
synthwaves” sonnet off the head, but didn’t because I’m waiting on a ride and
was afraid I wouldn’t finish it before they got here. Since I didn’t do it, of
course I would’ve had enough time. The Universe is a trickster, always and
forever, which is why you gotta balance the grounding yourself in Earth thiccness
to letting yourself float off into space, chasing the stars that humans could
never be, though we are their children.
