_ _ , _ _ , 2 0 1 9 is a day gone to the ashes of kismet’s pages the midday zephyrs and wino meditations that ran through streets like rainfall now live in the hippocampus the bright side’s gone with the dark the whole day, for what it was, is no longer and it bugs me out that through any endless combo of permutations and planetary rotations, the same circumstances that built the ground of yesterday will never repeat or will they? I’ll never know like the licks that reduce a Tootsie Pop to crumbs I’m not intelligent, I’m dumb because it took me 27 years to learn the value of 24 hours to learn that a lotus bloom is something to treasure ten times more than scraps of pure gold we are the children of nature what does that make our creations? Humans birthed a cosmos of currencies and chambers of computer generated concoctions. . . are they not descendants of the Mother? In some abstract way? Idk, dude, I’m out of it, if you know me, you know exactly what that means - - but I digress - - It’s just that I never got the chance to tell the day how grateful I was to have it and I now know that wasting time is a luxury modern civilization can enjoy after epochs and eras this day and age is as far from perfect as the brain is from perfection, tech grew faster than the collective consciousness and we still limit worth and love to skin and heteronormativity but at least for a small sliver of time things were, in a single moment . . . pretty good.
