lyrics

I don’t know why I’m doing this.
and poetry almost certainly won’t help or
some guy telling me his interpretation
of “write what you know” since
knowing is as easy as opening a book
realizing nothing is known it just
is—like a chest cavity is a vessel of
neuron byproduct, the scrapings of
fired thoughts that amount to the same
(unknown) thing every damn time
until one hour they don’t and I’ll
you’ll he’ll never know why and
caring about such things is distracting
vanity vanity until—look the
same old bones and maybe the marrow
is the soul or yoga is something important
that people do or they do something else
and write about it on the Internet like it’s
new like they can make it new because no
one alive is them and no one is as sad or
as anything as them since we can’t know
what we don’t know only guess at it, infer
via negation like antimatter—the
physicists have it right and maybe so do
the people who think the Large Hadron Collider
will never work because crack demolition teams
from the future are making sure we
don’t swallow ourselves whole with a glimpse a
real glimpse of the known unknowns
that keep us intact every day, within my
chest and the dusted heavens.
