you really shouldn't encourage me
i got crude and crass down pat
i can behave if i absolutely have to
but mostly it’s “aaahhh fuck that”
i have a loose concept of normal
but it’s a place i tend to shun
can’t handle that kind of stillness
my elusion illusion, my fun
normal is very very boring
pure undiluted normal is very bland
like a laugh track on a shit TV show
pretend, prepared and pre-planned
like everyone’s in the joke
even before the driest of smiles is raised
it’s just so bloody pointless and boring
it’s no wonder i’m a little bit crazed
“it’s very, very boring!“

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

This was a fun poem - I'm never convinced by the notion of normal though!
Normal is overrated.
