death to geometry::.

//

a bump on a very long road quickly fades into memory
a forgotten memory

when the next bump shakes the car
suddenly you remember the last one

now there are two points and two points make a line
a line goes on forever

but they are just two bumps on a very long road
just points
not lines

why i don't go to the zoo

the emu has pneumonia
the crocodile just sneezed
the anteater looks nauseous
the wolf has lots of fleas

the antelope has measles
the penguin has a cold
the monkey is allergic
to peanuts, dust and mold

the python's rather wheezy
the ape just broke his thumb
the zebra has a blister
the lion's feeling glum

the rhino has a headache
the hippo has a flu
and i'm a hypochondriac
so now i have them too

why does it always start with resolutions?
why are there always goals and objectives?
can we never break free from ourselves
enough
to be ourselves?

no.

and we can never break free from ourselves
enough
to succeed.

they say try
and we do.

they say get back on the horse
and we do.

they say practice makes perfect.
we have plenty of practice.
we know perfection.
it must be failure.

they say try and try again
and we do.

they say the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
what about bears?

they say don't do that smartaleck thing
but we do.

and then we start repeating
try and try and try....
and then we start believing
try and try and try...
and then we start resolving

because we think
eh...
couldn't hurt


every day.
pursue the white.
create, in shades of grey, a representation of white.
run.

this is where you will find me
in the black and the grey
in the foggy disconnect between the pure and the present
where we struggle with the wrong and the worse
because right is too bright a notion
white is too bright a hue

so here i will search desperately for white
and though i know my eyes will fail
that one, blinding glimpse will be worth the loss of sight
for it will at least kill this dismal shadow

so this is where you will find me
between the black and the grey
