allow time to get and be lost

undistracted by the way there.

and the places i meant to visit,

and even the places i didn't.

by land, by sea, by fire, by air

driven by primordial instinct

fight or flight with myself

where i stand on everything

contrary to popular thoughts

a balance not yet held at any cost

because i can, because why not,

because there is no such thing.

it's one man's happy ending,

and it's someone else's hell.

but i, like most, am indifferent.

a culture afraid of their feelings.

commence with the celebration-

or incite a common discourse.

no more no more anymore.
