I can't escape my fantasies Not sure I want to I exist in many places I exist all over What is reality In a world that functions off the arbitrary? Am I my day job? Am I pumping gas at the same station on the corner near my house twice a week? Is my life one extended motion of muscle memory? Or am I purely spirit Soaking up the sun on Mykonos Kicking up dust in the Paris catacombs Staring up at the basilica of the Hagia Sophia? Maybe I can't escape my fantasies Because they are real

Traverse
Bare trees under the sun Clean snow on freshly bloomed flowers Rain on a cloudless day Dark skies at the gates of heaven

Inside My Soul, Inside My Heart
Forgotten Like the flowers in the waterless vase In that room of the house you never use. Beautiful, but screaming Through glass panes That the sunlight cannot seem to breach As you sit in the den, Surrounded by smoke, Asleep with your eyes open.

Clouded
At night when I lie to sleep, I like to think about love. I drift to a place Where love is all there is And someone meets me halfway To fulfill my fantasies And warm the edges fuzzy. That person is me.

Stare in the mirror, and what looks back Death He is more than more than human and he is less. He will not be mocked He will not be cheated He will not be made inferior because he cannot be made inferior. Look out the window, and what goes by Life She is seemingly weightless yet all too flooding. She will not be understood She will not be guessed She will not be made a thing because she cannot be made a thing. Clouds swirl around in circles Birds sing on half snapped branches Bones lie within the dirt Upon which white flowers will grow.

The Warmouth
endlessly torn between wanting to live forever and wanting to cease i know nothing of moderation. i don’t moderate. i postulate and i hesitate always reaching all the way west until it is the east and the world keeps on spinning

Rationalization
Is my heart heavy or is it just full and what is the difference?
