#selfstudy
Self-studying is the dichotomy of enthusiastically knowing more and insignificantly knowing nothing, along with the roots and branches of motivation

Another Tinder match
supposed we hike to bromo mountain
If not to suffer me
neighbor country guy
Where jaded is the least people be
lives in a bunkbed dorm room
For months and months
Certified to put judgement
on strangers
He studies everyone
But locals
Talks in languages
but local's
He's interested in story of stragers
But not my story
Too local maybe
One lunch in a local's
I lend him lunch money
He never thinks he owes me
A thing
He sits there on the corner
Reading people's story
Those whose land made
By foreign spices, coal, and sweats
Like me

late at night sit before your window,
staring out,
caring not,
no curtains,
no blinds,
to hide the sights before your eyes,
to hide your eyes from the outside,
leave a light on behind you,
your reflection...will remind you,
take your time,
to study,
the face and eyes across
the distance,
the pane is glass,
nothing more,
loath not what you see,
reach to touch, not with hate,
the image will reciprocate,
yet the glassy image harbours no warmth,
and as for the flesh,
and as for the flesh,
there is beauty, beyond what is seen,
there is brilliance, it is in the gene,
there is a conundrum,
though life is humdrum,
or is lost in the thrum,
of mindless technology,
only you can stare
in that window,
and to be fair,
see,
what lies within,
what lies beyond,
if you are honest, see?
