and we are back to that wonderfully familiar, piercing joy. i can feel it in the depths of my long-lost thoughts and i can feel it in my teeth. i can feel it in every crevice and corner of my body and i feel it under my fingernails. i feel it in the part of my mind that only glows when there is a spark. i can feel it, i am illuminating. it has begun

i do not like associating with people who complain about the length of songs

people who listen to music but do not hear it

people who look at beauty but do not see it

i do not like associating with people who complain about the slow parts in books

people who admire the surface but do not try to break it

people who understand the flaw but do not accept it

i do not like associating with people who complain about boredom

people who know exactly what to say but do not say it

people who mourn regression but do not rejoice it

i do not like associating with people who complain about the length of songs,

break down the walls of your mind
take advantage of your depth
appreciate your width always

i don't like associating with people who complain about the length of songs

"i am very particular about who i expose myself to,"
we say to 3 million strangers every day

i shut off everything and everyone
just to listen for a while
then i start talking and do not stop ever

imagine yourself vividly

darkness goes like this

tell me one war since wwii that the united states has "won"
tell me one war where we have not been the aggressor

he told me that
burning down the house was the only logical thing to do next
unknowing how much of a literal person i am

start the car and leave this nowhere behind
things i used to admire from afar seem so much closer now

oh dear
i think i've lost myself
could you call it
(i left it on silent)

i don't have any data to back up my opinions
i think gravity and love are that of the same force

i don't like associating with people who complain about the length of songs

i wish i was strong enough to lift both of our souls simultaneously

you are constantly defining beauty with the way
you bite your lip and flutter your eyelashes and grasp your left arm and stare at the ground
while speaking to me

you are drunk and you are sad and i am broken and lets kiss

wow here we are

kissing

there is nowhere to go but up

walk away from the cage of everything you have known and seen
for beyond lies true beauty and the reality that hides from us as long as we are alive.

of all the possible combinations of events that could have happened in my lifetime thus-far, what if i am living in the best possible outcome

i'm not sure if this makes me happy or sad

i heard you listening / i slept through the holocaust

so this is what it's like
every day i slip on my best mourning boots
to go to the cemetery and collect my thoughts
that are just fields of stones
this is not the life i wanted you to see

i can hear you thinking from here

you tried to tell yourself but you refused to listen
sit back
watch as i make sure that everything spirals out of control
how long can you hold your breath?

my fingers barely brush yours
the transcendency of certain skin
no one else can touch me

humanity is the one disease that you will never be cured of
destruction
or something like it

at the edges burning
energy converting into matter
drifting off to wherever you are

wait
and i can assure you it will come.
