ACT 3: CHAOS


CHAOS

i am too alive !.

I HAD A WALKING PHASE,

where i walked everywhere. sometimes aimlessly. I explored every inch of my territory. This again is that itch for something more. I walked everywhere, just to see the world in action and to perhaps be welcomed into it

I think I was physically searching for my spot.

i can do nothing for days at a time—while thinking of ev

erything

that i can do.

sit still

until it washes over me

sweet moon

wash over me dry

salted ocean watch over me wet

sit still

think

i can do nothing for days at a time

i am an in an upside down world

sleep finds me at the sunrise

and night snatches me from my sleep

and my superpower is i can see the beauty in everything.

yet still desire the ugly like a melancholy chocolate


i walk along the sky and whisper good morning to the sun at night

i drink to dehydrate

and wake up to die all over again like flowers rejecting spring


all over again


see here

we love ourselves backwards like confused butterflies

like

alphabet soup that i’ve forgotten the warmth of in my stomach like everything else edible


and over here it don’t feel warm


over here


it is the scorching winters of antarctica

the icy summers of the sahara


see here


we are lost


like the chameleon who has forgotten his true shade

------------------------------------

there is a certain fear that accompanies existence and the way in which people deal with that is important

------------------------------------

IN RESPONSE TO SUN-RA

we are a culture so obsessed yet so indifferent to our death. to our ends. to our demise. the greatest ignorance. how we revel in our uncertain life yet remain woefully ignorant to the most certain thing of all which is death. death is the grotesque beast in front us

us.

We’ve grown to fear, love, run from, and crave.
