Social Flags

…at intervals, thoughtless, reminded of reality, and seized by anxieties:

those pavement lights, this curious say good, at feelings by resonance: this cultic planet, those realized women, or forces tugging sincerity: our black skies, our jasper lines, or this edifice in yoga: our eating hearts, our purple horizons, our daily dreams: as adored creatures, or pagan winners, aloof for indifferent: this lose in personality, this receiving of self, at dire restraints attempting to loosen—this shell-shocked mentality, this  mirror as deceptive, or perceptions built upon insecurities: this motor revving, this pitcher pouring, this night to talkative pillows: therewith, such deprivation, by the children of men, our caves thrust into public witnesses….     …this mental continuum, those media brains, our receptors imbalanced: this curse for children, our receiving, innocent souls, where misidentification lurks beyond humans: this inner tunnel, this shadow in Jung, at borrowed realities: to assume ownership, to release something pure, in exchange for homogeny: those beige berets, that realized glitter, or striving for miracles: our perfumed existence, our intrinsic characteristics, our borrowed realities: those sad instincts, or joys in another person’s screams, to live by love, or die by love, while insistence seems to sting: this parrot in realities, this list of clichés, this demand to attack something as newness: our ruined smiles, at rivers by normality, if but to exhaust this surviving interior: as disappointed, but challenged to breathe, at parallels struggling at geometrics….     …our ladybugs flying, our pigeons partaking, our ducks a bit aggressive: this natural reality, this semblance of personhood, at midday analyzing perfected perceptions (or ravishing illusions): this engine in clouds, this raining universe, this insistence upon winning wars daily: our minds reacting, our feelings constructed, our responses stemming from tragedies: such catnip religiosity; such reaching for guidance; or this order becoming quite intolerant: at white gardens, this violet of dreams, this relaxed nature afraid to evade perceptions: that meditative existence, this inner brochure, this inner tabloid—where father lives, where mother dines, while grandparents design something reaching into our futures: our social highs, our social seesaws, our social sandcastles: this caliber of persons, while too appropriate to fit in, while too stiff to voyage upon those fantasies: our minds with visions, our knowhow lacking, plus, we can’t escape ourselves….     …to preach this sermon, to surgeon this wound, or to socialize while retreating: this cruel reality, those few to distressors, or personalities existing as anti-engagement: our levels too stressed, our minds upon certain jargon, to relax according to language: our souls revolting, As it must look like me, and it must possess similar screams: this feel good sensitivity, while feelings are dictating, where they ought by instructions: this radical thunder, this terrorizing hunger, at seconds to peer too deeply into self : this tendency in humans, at dehumanization, or running so long we become desensitized: this raging universe, those tragic dreams, this tragic inner understanding: at harsh catastrophes, or reading frantically, or relaxed peering into  mazelike profanities: as secular souls, at inner scriptures, accustomed to culling out goodness: this painful space, for lights are regenerated, in order to manage faith….
