Pulse: There’s living and there’s dying, but worst is this half life: this tap water dripping, slow molding of the Mind: It sells me lies about who’s right and wrong, it validates my dogma but vilifies my Soul: That hunger that bubbles up and out my throat, that sees myself in that wasted *** with that Sign: Maybe not a burning bush but a breakdown, a point so low we used our last energy to let out this ROAR: Shake out your heart like a sheet; take a torch to the hive mind and Dance: Spinning in an alley downtown in the rain, the beat beats beats beats: Love is all that matters, it’s all that matters now.
