you have to be able
to look at life
as it presents itself to you
and learn
to rearrange the pieces
until they align
with your idea
of yourself.

at least i’m in a place now
where i know what is mine,
what i am responsible for.

and i own this,
this thing we are in.

because i decided a
long time ago
that i would rather have
a little of you
than none of you.

and i know
what i allow and
what i can accept,

but i feel a rumbling
about things coming.
an awakening,

where i suddenly
know
what it is that i want.

it is only
my not knowing
myself,

that keeps
this going.

when i can finally see
and know
what it is i want

you will hear the earth
quake and you will know
i am bringing pain.

the multiverse

you can be
a different character
in a different game.

it is easier
     to try to unravel
the work of your predecessor,

than to create
     a legacy
of your own.

tread lightly

the presidency
is not a school
for the
ignorant,
rich,
and delusional.

it is a test.

and i hate to break it to you, buddy,
but
you've
already
FAILED.

i'm only here
to advise
on what i have seen
and what i see.

there are indicators
of the elusive path
to deliverance
to truth
to beauty

it is simple
and direct

and it looks foward

it promotes growth
it is innovative
it is creative

and it is no one color
or shape

it can be found anywhere
by anyone

get into the current,
if you can

otherwise,
you will be left behind.
