lean to listen
is it bad to take your time and think for
a moment?
feel your life inside of you, if there is
anything to admire
the streets are large so sing its elements
take that walk across stones that will
disappear after they transport you to the
disaster that is developing
do not hesistate to inflict your will and may
your will be done like an unclean passion
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
a weighted coin and an hourglass are a
patchwork of separate complexities
one influences time and the other measures it
the line between believing in an ideal and
being plain naive is pretty fucking thin so
understand that one’s understanding comes
from their limited cognitive abilities
you can’t curb that kind of ignorance until
the thinking changes, until the foundation
changes, until the chemistry changes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
all of your ideas hold together, but sometimes
it’s safer to not elaborate them all at once
if one asks, and believe me they will, the way
you respond should be reflexive and not
stripped of its nature
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
every day you’re born again
but not in any kind of christian sense
it’s only you that can wash away your sins
if one defies, and believe me they will,
whatever culture of guilt that represents
their sins, surely they will stand trial with
their hero, whom they serve as god
a priest doesn’t need a cross so may god
grant them the mercy that you cannot
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
after an odyssey of demonstrations, you will
approach an analysis about your expedition
your awkwardly choked and cowardly shame,
that was once another sharp whisper that drills
your mind, will settle into a hill of dust that one
can eat out of your hand
you may find yourself laughing viciously as
it fills their lungs so sweetly
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
promise me you’ll make it home safe
because we have so much to discuss.
