THE EACH OF WE
Folder:
JOURNAL #21 surrender such sweet suffocation
amuse me in your death
though your brisk method of dismissal
leads these pearly thoughts down such
an uncertain path
a calibrated mystique
draws blind fascination forth
from common rivers of constant
rebirth
the finished product has
miraculously managed to
precede the uncut tree
a bleak progressive distance
settles too heavily upon the
earth
machines now make such marvelous
mock of man
reflections themselves it seems
on his own inability
to further withstand
the scarred changes
of too rapid a passing time
bottled thirst for a finer
uncontaminated knowledge
how it slakes its finders
in such giddy discovery
by accidental action or
deliberate reaction
man still hasn't invented a
way to inform him of what
the future can see
the collected result of
his tireless efforts
including all
even us
