it's easy to feel lost when 
you forget to remember 
the map's lines were never real 

C4SH RVL3S N0TH1NG N4TVR4L...

cash rules nothing natural, 
but everything around 
me is manmade abstraction 

WH1CH C4M3 F1RST, TH3 WH1T3 TR4SH 0R...

"which came first, the white trash or 
the dirt god?" - rhetorical 
questions asked while lounging 

R3C0GN1Z1NG 34CH W1NT3R...

recognizing each winter 
as time to retreat into 
the warm thinking of my heart 

F1LL1NG MY T4NK W1TH QV4RT3RS...

 

filling my tank with quarters 
collected in the empty 
pickle jar which we call life 

DRVNK3NLY S4NG F4M1LY...

drunkenly sang "family 
tradition" loud as fuck for 
three decades; now I'm dirtgod 

MY GR34T GR34T GR4NDP4R3NTS W3R3...

 

my great great grandparents were 
from somewhere I've never been; 
I'm lost in America 

W3ST3RN C1V1L1Z4T10N...

western civilization 
is a pyramid scam, which 
launders immorality 

FL4GS W3R3 N3V3R FL0WN VNT1L...

flags were never flown until 
ships set sail across the Earth, 
looking for fresh lands to claim 

TH3R3'S 1NF1N1T3 VNKN0WN S41NTS...

 

there's infinite unknown saints 
of fractal geometry 
inside this vast universe 

4N VNVS3D M3NN0N1T3 CHVRCH...

an unused Mennonite church 
which I cut through the woods to, 
dhikr clicking tiny beads 

0PP0RTVN1TY 1SL4NDS...

opportunity islands 
in far off cities, across 
the metaphysical seas 

TH1NK T4NKS D3T3RM1N3 WH1CH ST0N3S...

think tanks determine which stones 
the collective Sisyphus 
should push first to get things right 

TH3 B0RN WR3TCH3D L1K3 T0 CL41M...

 

the born wretched like to claim 
royalty in our blood lines; 
there's no monarchs in the wild 

R3FL3CT1NG 0N TH3 PL4C3S...

reflecting on the places 
I've been, I realize that I 
rarely planned my direction 

W0RSH1PP1NG 1D0LS, L0ST 1N...

worshipping idols, lost in 
distraction, anti-idle 
grind mentality stunts growth 

0PP0RTVN1TY 34CH D4Y...

opportunity each day 
to consult your own heart when 
stumbling across this damned Earth  

TH3 VN1V3RS3 1S W4TCH1NG...

 

the universe is watching 
whether you feel it or not; 
every moment's a test 

4B4ND0N3D H0M3 PL4C3 C4RC4SS...

 

abandoned home place carcass 
rotting in the scrub pines, caked 
with memories of lives gone 

N0N3 0F VS 4R3 V1CT1MS S0...

none of us are victims, so 
much as trapped in this system 
which never gave half a fuck
