Why? Oh why this life?


I belong to self, for nowhere to run, pitching quarters at a psych. We see for pain—I’m somewhat there, a muse to him-self. This complex self, stressed for fires, this inward Zen; akin to no-man, a friend of all pains, this gavel slamming his future. I’m not a cliché, as somewhat a cliché—this filthy war. We knew for passion, this ability for tears, this hardened soul: I watched her dance, a scarf as a gown, enchanting us with India; this dying woman, this living Hindu, this vague intrusion. I couldn’t love her—but somewhat there, a fleet of fantasies; to possess passion, the pride of men, to humble a soul—this biblic mandate, this skyward affection, to lose it with a child. I belong to us, thus, the peering eyes, perfecting my definitions; as aphorisms for rain, as no place to go, as lost to a plethora of roadmaps. Winning’s a miracle, as bricks build a fortress, this faraway castle; to mingle with mystics, as yearning our lives, to finally kiss a palm; as so far gone, as so far behind, stressing over a finish line; forever this daze, this crazed feeling, this maze of faces. I fell from grace, this chase for vengeance, to return slanted; but ever his mind, pushing towards illusions, as graphed in fantasies. Time is lonely—affected by passions, as longing for a friend—so born his soul, this inner cavity, searching for outside winds. We lost a family—something so precious, never to bat an eye—so what is our measure! This life is normal—a grimace as a friend—this inner torment; to vacuum love, as lost forever, this weathered event. I belong to, Love—this heart of caves, this flutter of attentions; to mold a friend, as to watch for deaths, this mental cliff; as perfect a turn, this fiat of faith, this fever of pictures.
