A sound paradox (at wit’s end)

I’ll make you hot
As I turn cold
I’ll open you up
And then I’ll fold
I’ll tie you down
As I fly free
I won’t leave
But let me be
I’ll give you all
But relinquish nothing
I won’t speak
But I’ll tell you something
I’ll tell the truth
But don’t believe me
Just let me be alone
And never leave me
I can’t support you
But I’ll be your crutch
Because I’m apathetic
But I care too much
I’ll give you all of my love
Though there’s nothing to give
And I’ll continue to die
As long as I live

At least that much is certain

“no one can step in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same person” – possibly Heraclitus

just as no one can step in the same river twice, no one can have the same experience of “as common as carbon” twice
