- health vs. pathology
- concrete vs. abstract
- mind vs. heart
- possible vs. impossible
such oppositions
are misleading and yet
can help us see
always soothing
i just want to sit still
read and write
into the dark long night
nothing more i ask
until the day i die
here's a problem:
anyone who is sure of their words
with everything they say
will deeply confuse my heart
i have a hard time thinking
"well that's what they think"
and leaving it at that
but why?
as someone who rests in words and thoughts
i can be easily impressed by complicated themes
and by synthetic formulas, food for thought,
seeds for unending unraveling
infinite nuance can come from such
isn't that horrible!?
stop trying to fix the world
it's gonna take a long time!
please just relax for now
the anxiety is messing me up
and i can't just not empathize
powerful ones try to dissuade
the talkative and the smart
into fooling their peers
into betraying their pairs
don't
don't make yourself into a trap
for the benefit of a wealthy rat
don't cling to your own smarts
don't cling to your own tricks
your ability to hack and write
if you can't find a hole
to get the coins out
so all the hungry can join the feast
there's no purpose on your side
cheap
foreign rhymes
do not believe it when you hear it
that equality is finally bound to arrive
just keep pushing, keep shooting
as ads and priests offer
to all ears the right
so divine
to care only about yourself and your spouse
don't!
keep pushing!
ever relentless
until the day it all goes down
