  • My Lungs Hurt but I Shouldn’t Stop Typing

    My Lungs Hurt but I Shouldn’t Stop Typing

    Playlists, Poetry

    My lungs hurt
    but I shouldn’t stop typing
    shouldn’t stop asking Them what’s wrong
    I couldn’t possibly stop
    the “How can I be better?”
    I apologize, I meant
    “How can I consume every living thing in the universe?”


    Many economists and spiritual leaders are now recognizing externalities to growth, such as:
    – Death

    Me and Perplexity at an impasse


    In the night heat of my bedroom, I am dreaming of:
    The future explorers finding a cardboard sign
    encapsulated in the plastic ocean
    blood of The Former Mother,
    tilting it up to the phosphorescence to read,
    “NOT ON DRUGS
    WILL WORK FOR GOOD WATER.”

  • THEY are who THEY surrender To

    THEY are who THEY surrender To

    Poetry

    Your journey is learning quickly:
    THEY squint at questions Elders Taught for eons
    as Their Eyes widen at The vanishing Horizon of answers
    to notice Teachings like:

    do not cut The body or The shall-not-be-named
    gloaming in the repetitions
    will fold its origami intelligence
    inside The slit that goes unrepaired

    Then The Ecdysiastic math begins:
    7 swallows, 13 fires, and 42 fangs like needles
    but no sugar in between Your back molar
    no, no, The holes in Your shells aren’t portals

    for chemicals with chemical
    attitudes slithering under landfills
    that The Elders answer for when
    The children returning begin weeping
