I am not questioning my faith
but when I saw you for the first time
I prayed
and asked the gods to make you go away
"Don't let her steal my mind!",
shield me.
the horses running
the coachman says fly
my guts say fight
I open my eyes
she is still there
carrying in her arms the guy I buried
6 feet deep under the ground,
with a broken heart,
I am not
what I pretend to be,
this costume fits me well,
but only because I've worn it out
to the degree of it sticking to my body
I am not the nice guy
the man with words
I prefer swords, but I carry no arms
My word is powerful enough
diplomacy is what I postponed for later stages
until then
I tell the left and right
to fuck off
I am not
the party inside your head
I am not
the party inside my head
I am not my thoughts
I am lost
I am not thinking every time I speak
my words are autopoiesis
they have emerging properties
and are taking over my old selves
and there is always a plot twist
the catalyst to a higher degree order
existence
we all fight for
transformation,
from stability to entropy ]
and back
to ordered chaos.
I am not
what I say I am
when I tell you my name
behind brown eyes
is a straight line
to the god living inside me:
little, cripple', lost in a stranger’s body,
my nose
had a difficult adulthood
collateral damage to my
walk through walls passion
my mouth is fine,
and cheeks and skin
I look a little Polish if you don’t know me
I am not patient
I am love only when I remember to be present
I not
The happy ending you deserve
I am not owning property
I am not fucking compulsively
or being mean to the people who don’t deserve it
I am not a religious person -
I put my faith in other mysterious places
How are we not gods
if we daily create miracles?
we fly to space
we jum-
p
back from it to
earth.
we cure each other of diseases
and create art about our loved ones
I am not shadowboxing my consciousness
till my faith starts responding, Kendrick
I am not
my expectation
I am too comfortable to
think of any black swans
the randomness
becomes regularity
on higher time frames
How random is it that my words touch your soul?
It’s not
and I am not whatever adjective you add after implicit human
we’ve invented words to describe better things
than putting labels on us all —
I am not a dreamer,
my nights are usually dark
and dreaml e s s
unless I am scared,
then I
eye-dream about her,
her black-black hair,
Carrying in her arms
The guy I buried
six feet deep under the ground
She looks straight into my eyes and goes
- you have no idea what happens to the grass at night, do you?
Shocked, I asked, my voice trembling
- what happens to the grass?
It’s probably changing colors
It’s gray or black
Nothing -
She interrupted me quickly,
Her voice was a north sea wind
Nothing, she repeated,
happens,
to the grass,
at night.
It looks like something should happen
but it is simply not there
when you try to look at it
there is a little chance you are going to see that there is
nothing,
and when you look away,
everything disappears.
