memory troubled me
I was living a lie
my life was a field of battle
but it was JUST FUCKING FINE
with me
Happiness is a choice
like an underwater history
representing Byzantine complications
of desire
found
by my great tap root
of an imagination
I've been told
of gritty,
gnawing,
shitty little instinct
but I do not fear it:
I have been there
And nobody believes me
it infiltrated everything
you wake up
afraid you are going to live
but my life no longer overwhelms me
they ask if my perspective
is just a diversionary tactic
could it possibly control you?
I shrug.
Hell if I know, I say
Curiosity,
of course,
killed the cat.
(college poetry assignment. can you recall what books these lines came from? every line is a quote from a book I read while in college, prior to december 2001)
