On the other side of fear is greatness
on the other side of greatness is [___]
the thing about lines is they never end
always polarizing into two sides
that gain assurance in contrast
who are you without comparison
this life is geometry
characterized by curves and endings
by spontaneous turns
that neglect signs
signal right
and
turn left
when the crash comes
there's a thin line between life and death
(that's how the unconscious paints it)
but thin lines are the easiest
to blend blur
sometimes even erase
I died last night in a dream
and awoke to a nightmare
it was a thin line I didn't want to cross
but intersections aren't always marked
and crossing isn't always a choice
I X'ed out my ex and now
I'm not sure who I am
or why I ex-ist
sometimes an intersection is
a new origin
and axes rotate naturally
to create novel planes
a transmigration of the soul
on the other side of reality is reality
question this
make curiosity of this point
but don't stand on it
the intervals of change may shift
but change is the word
the rule
the ruler by which measurement comes
mark my words
on the other side of fear is greatness
and on the other side of greatness is t h e u n k n o w n
keep changing
something always looks like nothing from far away
