Left in the Suburbs
The void of paths constructed to be uncrossing, the colloquially means of finding fulfillment and the necessity of a non-progressive escape route.
Survival of the fittest: indeed not. Survival is the boon of man kind. How much better off we would be if survival was not a curse thrown upon us. Day in and day out we wait, watching the clock, count the hours till we aren’t: till we aren’t working, till we aren’t waking, till we aren’t famished, till we aren’t wanting. An ebb and flow of states that we suffer through till one day IT comes, the penultimate experience. But this IT is ill defined. None know what IT is. IT just is. And IT we are after. Blessed are those who have not survived for IT is theirs. They have discovered IT is not a presence but an absence, a resounding absence. But I dread and suffer knowing that those who are blessed as such likely are a group attended by emptied seats, a vacant crowed. All I know is is. All knowledge knows is is. Isn’t doesn’t bring promise of ever being. Whether trembling through a marathon’s 14th mile marker, breathlessness harmonized with to a racing heart or bludgeoned and bloody under morticians scalpel, isn’t refuses to be. It is always in hiding and can never be seen. For is itself isn’t the difference between a man and a cadaver. It is the transition. And it is the stasis. Is is reality.
The wind: altered position of the tree branches, presently vertical blades of grass, inverted umbrellas, a paused dance of molecules
