How to Exist

a rule book

By Goldie Published about a year ago 1 min read

Talk about silence

As if you aren’t its killer

Read a book just to watch the paper get thinner

Inhale water to make your lungs a good swimmer

Won’t eat all day so you’ll appreciate dinner

Buy a plant to remind you what time can do

Write in sand to understand that thoughts disintegrate and move

Become a man just to cut off yours balls

So you can show them off wrinkled and small

Climb a tree

Wait for it to fall

Build a house

But forget the walls

Pretend to know what makes no sense at all

About the Creator

Goldie

Addiction to my pen sweeping cobwebs in my mind

The brief feeling of structure when my thoughts start to rhyme
