Universal Music

My hands above my head,

I grasp for purpose,

and pull the Sun to my chest.

 

Circles become arbitrary.

Squares, the cousins of

rectangles are discredited as

man-made. That's why metaphors

known as squares are seen as

vulnerable shapes in a misunderstood spectrum.

They are dotted lines

dependent on right angles,

left ashtray to explain anomalies.

 

So for order we justify lines.

We contain music within them.

Until, of course, the Holy Ghost

is found. Because that strike

against the canvas is thought

to be premeditated.

 

But that isn't human nature.

That isn't God.

It will only become recorded

notes on a page.

It's retrospect.

A future remembrance of the past.

It's the Sun in your heart,

knowing that containing that

kind of energy is hazardous

to your health.
