I'm just making it up.




Stop wearing watches.
Stop answering phones.
Stop the frantic search for connection with the world.

It's right here.

Undone ties holding stronger in the summer sun.
Plastered grins without vibrating interruptions.
Jumping trains to no particular stop.
vanishing for days without notice or second thought.

Squinting through haze of a childhood clubhouse.
Bonfires like watering holes for neighborhood regulars.
Card games and tattooed arms hold strings that fly kites.
Unstructured days and empty wallet photographs.

Summer.

Let yourself run into life.
stop wasting time being blind to what's already around you.
Go outside. Breathe the air.

Appreciate unforced experience organically.

Ticket///Ride


My mind was given to the world
BLANK
with the task of constructing
personality.
creativity.
control.

moving vans//daycare//palpitations//leotards

My pupils dilate through time.

A mind, Full.
cluttered by
you
and me
and them
but the genuine self is lost in commotion and dust

stimulated synthetic shells
litter the floor of years past.
Half a decade of life- as another.
Frantically looking for your old face,
without any recollection of what it even looked like.

It's easy now, but harder than before
so go.
go ahead.

cut those corners///pray you'll do just fine.

Should///Should Not.


Stop.
Stop thinking.
About the factors you consider
anatomy of your present state.

Just because I did
or didn't
experience the particular in
24, 36, 48 hours
or any relevant span of time
DOES NOT decide or dictate
how I SHOULD be feeling.

Should.
Be.
Feeling.

Time is the decision maker,
the dictator.
Like Newton's laws,
the equal and opposite reactions
of time and experience
can spin the object in motion
the other direction.

Without questioning
Why you are
the way you are
or why you feel the way you do...

Experience your time without a frame,
set your own objects in motion.
