Here’s something. When a man and a woman love each other very much... That’s an archaism. Everybody ***** everybody nowadays. Girls, boys, girls. Am I getting left behind because I’m anachronistic? I just want it to mean something, you know? Not societal pressure. Not the standard physical progression of a high school relationship. I just want a friend, and to build a closer connection. I want to hold someone and feel the heat of their body, and know that they’re feeling mine. I want to close my eyes and trust that their eyes are also. I have this idea (dream?) of *** being transcendent, not terrestrial. I want to love, and to feel...not to **** Am I making sense? Am I the only person in the world who thinks like this? Probably not. But I’ve got a sinking feeling that I’ll never find that other person. I'd want someone, a friend, a best friend, who'd understand the connection I want to make. They’d understand the closeness and transcendentalism, understand that it isn’t about societal rules, or regulations, or ideals. I want making love to be about making love, not pretenses and cliches and other Earthy concerns. Maybe I’m an idealist. I don’t care. This is what I want.

The hat did not make the boy they even wanted to select their prefered neighbours. The dusty unused courtyard long buried prayer books loitered. If there was a God he was already made in their own image, insular and grunt. To surrender to their leaden aviary the cage wouldn't need bars, archaism would ablute the soul the world outsiders a plank walkway the only means.

A gear that does not conform is a wrench in the works. Remove the gear until it can be brainwashed, retrained, forced to mesh. How to fix it? How to force it? The hammer? Not a surgical tool, by any means, but this isn’t a surgical processus. Accuracy requires thought. The bludgeon is a much simpler tool. A simpler weapon. Certainly not as successful as perhaps another, but casualties are to be expected in such lock-step, industrial machinery. It was the height of modernity a century ago -- but the world is changing, and the machine is grinding slowly into the primitive darkness of archaism. The world is changing. Rearranging. More and more gears are dropping from their cogs into the morass of the behemoth. More and more are getting lost in nauseous darkness. More and more gears. More and more wrenches in an aging, beastly, anachronic and inefficient monstrosity. Something’s gotta give.

a man carrying his dog stops to kneel. for my distance from him, I am disallowed any inquiry that would flower. he sets the black dog in front of him in the manner I have imagined god at the simple chore of placing those first shadows. I am holding my son nostalgically. was my tooth would ache and his tooth would ache and both would be things I knew and he didn’t.

It was you. You whom drew the blood of the universe and held it in your hand. Painstakingly slicing glass across your wrist. The affinity of terror. Tears shining in the moonlight. A heart shielded by memorials of the lost. Archaism of culture. Granting you the gift of hope. Your spirit cries out for the truth, only to be given doubtful beliefs. In your darkest times, I am your light. Absolute and sincere. The epitome of content. In the light of freedom, I am your foreshadow. Cynical and cruel Binding your wings to keep you close. Fly free with all your love. Above me, away strong eagle. Stay high, maybe in time. You'll want to be mine.
