In silence

Sometimes

it's quiet
enough

to get
a joke
to resonate

well

Poetry over pain

When
considering
expressing my
physical plight
thru
writing

I know
every adjective is a
bad idea
&
no verb
would survive the fall

as doing so
gives such a reality
too much power
over
my mind

How

&
somewhere
w/in the chasm
nothing reflects itself,
turning itself
into
something

When the time arrives

Either
bite the bullet
or
shoot yourself

To me

H o m e
just
sounds
like
another
four letter
word

Hammered metal visions

&
the
only
flowers
you see

are
only
blooming
rust

Gotta have that contrast

The one
dependable
commonality
for all beings,
even
w/ guidance,
is
that
existence
will
predominantly
be
a matter
of
trial & error

Potentially

You gotta
assume
your assumptions
may be wrong,
sometimes

W/in the reality of it

Laughing
in the
face
of
incomplete
processes
&
neglect

only you
can correct

Damnatio memoriae

If I could I would
condemn myself
to oblivion

just
for a taste of
peace

When the chocolate was all gone

Maybe
it was better
she wasn't
the one

that
got to eat it
all

on this run
