Giving Up & Growing Up

We are not quaint.

Deformed and distant like beaten up mementos -

Echoes of tired dialogues.

We are tendencies of aspiration.

Saved by an abundance of correlation.

Dancing along to the frantic motions

of the perils of self-help.

 

The scripture is loud.

Revised as we drive through drenched tunnels -

Vying for admiration.

Praying for the jubilant *********** -

Into stale dimensions of all that is

Worthy of a second-hand perception.

 

We are not selling.

We are in the business

of craving to perspire.

Tasting and testing

the competence of turmoil

and exchanging fragments

of our being

for profitable desolation.

 

We are growing up,

in slow motion.

Drunk on trajectory interactions

of the menial day-dreams.
