The Book Oft Quoted And Other Notes From The Blue Bus

By Once Adrift

The Book Oft Quoted and other notes from the Blue Bus is the culmination of my attempts to capture passing thoughts in words, which ended up in these shadows of those figments now lost not in entirity.
Here's to hoping that the rapture I may not have been able to translate to these words will still be felt by your soul - at least in passing - as they did mine.
If you like the creationist God or Donald Trump, you may be offended by this book.

ever.

– The one you don’t judge

by its cover...

when you're herding

the way you herd.

‘Cause so many of you

have been herding

that there is now an order

to this chaotic drift,

and this drift is now

the order.

So, those of us

that stopped drifting

would seem to the drifting,

Drifters.

I tried to tell you

you were the Drifter.

But I could also see

that you wouldn't see

the way I see

when you're drifting

the way you drift...

Morning Epiphany

I had an epiphany

this mornin'.

Was funny,

cause I was thinkin’,

‘Soulmate’ must be

the most misunderstood word

ever...

‘Cause the Soul ain’t that
