He called us atomic monkeys in need of a psychological revolution.

He told us to hold our brothers and sisters tight while we pushed the knife deeper yet.

He said:

I am you

You are me

We are the destroyers of worlds.

I'll just be a thing one day
All past tense
And half memories
A breath
In a sea of exhales
You'll remember me again though

how our skin felt when pressed
But just a breeze
A half memory
Something you once knew
All possibility
No regret
Just a breath.

How does one write about impossibility?

Suppose that’s why we created poetry.

Too primal is a roar

So we search for metaphor

**** ‘em

This is atomic

Breath

Leaves in the breeze

This is truth

**** a b a b b / a b b a / a a b b a

the far-off,
the foreign.

Embrace the strangeness of it all.

Embrace the absurd;
the illogical,
the preposterous.

Embrace the silliness of it all.

Embrace the pain;
the discomfort
the strain.

Embrace the burn of it all.

Embrace the immensity.

Embrace peace.

Embrace nature,

yours
and
mine.

Will you?

Will you please?

Now go.

Go and give and take as much love as you can.

Go live.
