Comparison This Life


I loved the idiocy—this vacant charm, absent of deep character; this fly by night, this feral swing, as moving without recognition; but more to yearn, that cultured person, as honest while furious; for life grieves, where time scorns, this vehicle for heartache; to pump his heart, or to clutch her soul, this nature of koans. I died to love us, this impression of love, while distorted this agony; to face music, as pure symbols, dancing upon a blackboard. I knew to leave us—where hell was home, this haven for fools; so young the heart, addicted to chaos, to live it as life; but I met a soul, this paragon of warmth, as to advise one of mischief; this inner star, glowing as to put to shame—those persons disgracing humanity. So let it be love, that hinders love, aside for malice; this cerebral cake, mistaken as life, to wrestle over mishaps; for we love a star, that far from perfect, but candid to inform us: of woes and grays; of tears and love; of this soft patience; to scream his mind, or wail her soul, that closer to forbidding kisses. I watched in anguish, this beautiful dove, for ours is myth and fancy; this inner banquette, stressing through kryptonite, this weakness for living winds. So gently we move, in deep admiration, that further from dynasties; this wealth of pressures, guided by favor, to see her and nod softly; as a misborn union, while we wonder of life, that fantasy crying. I saw her, this cultured creator, reminding me of my grief. I heard her, fighting for love, to find it this paradise. Our arts are furies; our pains are nuances; our love is masterful; as waning in glories, as waxing in treasures, as writhing through tensions.
