Arbiter
Is idleness
A natural state
For humans?

The gaps in between ‘work’
Grow shorter
And the wheels of production
Keep turning
Faster and faster

When competition is fierce
Must we fight harder?
Is it better to have scarcity
Or abundance?

Is it better to have too much
Or too little..?

How should we fight?
Against others
Or ourselves?

Arbiter
What or who?
Drives the engines of our lives
Is it our own desire
Or the desires of others?

'I will pay you
If you do this for me'
I will be paid
If I toe the line

Arbiter
If you allow me to
I will peel off my outer layers
And expose what lies beneath
I will shamelessly stand before you
In my nakedness
And let you see what I am made of
I will allow your essence to absorb mine
And the space between us will melt into nothing

Arbiter
I will lie curled up on the floor
If I need to
Counting the beating seconds of time
Looking at the slow growing blades of grass
Allowing the rest of the world
To go wild in its craziness
For the dream that is being chased
Is to my mind
Never near enough

The dream is now
This moment is all I have
Right now this moment with you
Breathe in
Be with me
In this moment
Now
Please
