How do I know when to stop editing, to stop critiquing,
To stop looking for errors that I'll inevitably find
Courtesy of my flawlessly functioning mind
That does what It's told
And finds what It's told to find
In a sea of subjective humbug
Let's try working backwards. Let's try
Finding what resonates with us. How do we
Do that if we have no idea what resonates with us.
How do you find a hole in an air mattress or a weak spot in the drywall or
The small of your lovers back
You ******* look for it
How do you find a needle in a haystack
Why not try using up the hay
Before digging around for the small hazardous object
You ******* lunatic
Oh, but this is full of errors
I can see them from here
Have you not legs?
Well then have you not wheels?
Well what have you?
Good! USE IT.
Picture a room
Through the slit of an iron maiden
What do you see
A room
What do you feel
Why
Could you feel differently
If
You tried
Stop picturing, start looking, continue feeling and being?
Bah, try doing. Keep busying. Busying is key, and the lock is none of your concern.
It's probably a ****** one anyways. Who knows what it holds shut. Who knows
How effectively it holds it shut. Who knows what lies behind the thing that It's
Holding shut.
Shut up,
Ps. I love you
