The better collective is outside of me The parts of the world that could never converge with me In my chest is a hollow nest of surging threads That scrap and pulsate against each other The unrest carries itself into my flesh and makes me shudder And makes me lift my hands and arms to hurt my brother But the world around me is a blissful sea Of people who don't know what lies beneath The soft sheets that forms me There where there is strangers passing each other in the street Without so much as an acknowledgment to speak There is the place I want to be Far from the familiar haste that Lives within me That breaths and beats and eats constantly
