MY B0DY'S JVST 4 V3SS3L...

my body’s just a vessel 
carrying stardust essence 
around, ’til death do we part 

4TT3MPTS T0 K33P MY GR3Y M4TT3R...

attempts to keep my grey matter 
unfocused on distractions, 
and rooted in the real shit 

T4K3S M0R3 TH4N Y0VR 0WN H4NDS T0...

takes more than your own hands to 
break self-destructive cycles 
your brain was trained to follow 

TH3 B1GG3ST 3RR0R 4 M4N...

the biggest error a man 
can make is repeating the 
same mistakes as done before 

4LL TH4T'S B33N BV1LT W1LL D3C4Y...

all that’s been built will decay; 
from decay life will blossom 
again… a repeated fact 

1T 41N'T 4S C0MPL1C4T3D...

it ain’t as complicated 
as we make it out - inside 
our heads, and as a culture 

G1V3 M3 4N 4G1NG H0T3L...

give me an aging hotel 
next to an ancient body 
of water, to do “nothing” 

G1V3 M3 4 D1RTY W1ND0W...

give me a dirty window 
to stare out all day long, so 
I can think about “nothing” 

PS3VD0-1NT3LL3CTV4L...

pseudo-intellectual 
industrial god complex 
of mankind’s complications 

S1MPL1C1TY 1S TRVMP C4RD...

simplicity is trump card 
in the natural world - just 
figure out how to survive 

M0R3 S1MPL3-M1ND3D CR34TVR3S...

more simple-minded creatures 
seem to have an easier 
acceptance of existence 

D1SRVPT1NG MY M0ST ST4GN4NT...

disrupting my most stagnant 
energies with “let’s try this 
differently this time round” 

HVMM1NG 1 G0T TH3 P0W3R...

humming “I got the power!” 
as I trespass my way through 
an industrial freight yard 

N3VR4L 1MPVLS3S BV1LD1NG...

neural impulses building 
body of knowledge in mind, trapped 
inside ragged ass body 

0BS3RV1NG W0RLD, KN0W1NG F00L...

observing world, knowing fool 
well none of these truths are deep 
enough to last forever 

C0NSVM3D 1D3NT1T13S - 0NC3...

consumed identities - once 
spent - stacked behind us; often 
we pretend they don’t exist 

C0MM3RC14L D1STR4CT10NS H4V3...

commercial distractions have 
been erected every 
direction; seek deeper truth 

PH0N3 4PP R3M1ND3RS T0 PVLL...

phone app reminders to pull 
purple amethyst tasbih 
out of pocket, speak dhikr 

FVLL C0L0R V1S10N MVT3D...

full color vision muted 
by mirrored sunglasses to 
only see what you wanted 

F0CVS1NG MY GR3Y M4TT3R...

focusing my grey matter 
on the shapes the outlines give 
life to, not the lines themselves
