simple life states
By Jonas
I feel rather lost
but that's not it at all
I feel a familiarity with the
tone of these days and habit
wants to name it hopeless but
experience doesn't have time for that nonsense
...
I stepped away from the page a moment
to take a shit
and the simplicity
the common nature of the action
is inspiration
is analogy
I get hungry
I eat
I move my bowels
I experience conscious awareness
I take consonents and sprinkle them with
vowels
...
What I note when I compare and contrast
members of the various strata of the
social hierarchy
is the jealousy of the parents of the poor
at the opportunity of their progeny
and the encouragement and excitement of the parents
of the well adjusted
...
So, something will always be missing
until I build something of my own contriving
to support the weight of a heart
that thirsts for validation
but can never get enough
