arguing with myself
If I attempt to translate, communicate, my thoughts on the futility of human efforts in regards to the eternal, my inability to accept anthropocentric ideologies, what would you do? If I told you that when I look at the human race I see a massive herd of animals running around making noises in order to […]
This is bad
When was it,exactly,that I started believing people could beGoodagain? Was it after thefifth beer? Or after that shot ofwhatever the fuck? Or maybe it wassome other event,conversation,occurrence,marked by human interaction,rather thanostracized gulpsof self-prescribed medication. Well,it was definitely before I returned homealone. We are all here.Sharing this life,this time,this place. But the truth iswe are all […]
Out of sight
What is in front of me is not always what occupies my thoughts. They tend to wander to distant unreachable places: fantasies, delusions of grandeur, wishful dreaming, wistful thinking. Envious of those able to stave off melancholy with hope, passion, appreciation, syzygy, all I have is a double-edged sword inscribed with: “curiosity.” How to wield […]
Not what I wanted to write
It is a strange state of beingto feel: to taste the remnants of your mealsscrubbed off your teethmixed with the minty flavored chemicalsthat may or may not be giving you cancer. to spit them outand watch them flow down the drainto undergo some sort of“treatment process”and come out of someone else’s faucetwhere it may or […]
Too many questions, not enough answers
My pen is dry—literally.I try to scour up enough ink to mark notes down during class. Change my penmanship. Cursive, loopy letters turn symbolic.Can symbols be symbolic or do we have to make it a metaphor? The truth is:I just haven’t been feeling very poetic lately. Maybe it’s the weather.It’s fucking cold and I’malways runningoutside […]
An exercise in gratefulness and commas
The moon, beaming forth through the clouds during what we here call night, deemed subtle by 21 years of moderately consistent and considerably persistent sensual perception, altered slightly by eclipses, harvest moons and other planetary alignments so far beyond my grasp, attempting to keep this world, this universe, our existence, in balance, disrupted by mankind, […]
Against boredom themselves…
What is there left to donow that God isn’t watching? Now that airplanes and the internethave proved cultural relativism to bemostly a crock of shit. Humanists forgot about the environment.Environmentalists forgot about the human experience. Now that ethics are subjective,Matter is the only objective constant,and it’s in a state of constant flux. Sometimes all I […]
An Ode to My Friend
we’ll start off in quantifiable terminology Over the past few months, you became my best friend.One of the few that would indulge my pseudomeaningful babble.We spoke over Bananagrams, tea, and nicotine til 5amand turned to beseech the sun:Please, just…don’t.You allowed me to present my chain of reasoning that proposes Zeno did not hand us a […]
this is it
this is it there is but one moment and it is now the past is close behind forever waiting inhaling everything once new longing for manifestation through recollection the future hangs patiently before us waiting for arrival for breath for life to exhale a fluctuating discharge of energy interpreted through diverse perspectives into various emotions […]
