4S 4 HVM4N B31NG, 1'M...

as a human being, I’m 
more akin to fresh weeds than 
abandoned mechanisms 

M4K1NG D0 B3C0M3S 34SY...

making do becomes easy 
if you ain’t got no other 
choice… well-practiced survival 

F33L M0ST BL3SS3D 1N TH3 D4RKN3SS...

feel most blessed in the darkness, 
crawling through marginal zones 
which don’t know that much newness 

0VR VNT3ND3D D1M3NS10NS...

our untended dimensions 
fall apart easy enough… 
fix what you need, fuck the rest 

M4NVF4CTVR3D PVRP0S3 C4STS...

manufactured purpose casts 
long shadows in our culture, 
but I ain’t got to do shit 

L0ST BVT F0VND PR0PH3C13S 4R3...

 

lost but still found prophecies are 
never profitable… find 
joy in my own foolishness 

SP34K1NG P03MS T0 G14NT...

speaking poems to giant 
hulks of metal, hovering 
all ‘round my one-man cipher 

B1NG3 W4TCH1NG CL0VDS, STR3TCH3D 0VT 1N...

binge watching clouds, stretched out in 
the dirt of America’s 
rapidly-declined margins 

M41NT41N1NG 1MM4CVL4T3...

maintaining immaculate 
castles made of sand becomes 
difficult work… we’re lazy 

TH3 BRVT4L 4RCH1T3CTVR3...

the brutal architecture 
of displacing natural 
thought with chasing a clock’s face 

4SS1GN1NG 0VRS3LV3S PVRP0S3...

assigning ourselves purpose 
where none needed to exist… 
fuck it, I’ll be in the woods 

VN1V3RS4L D3TR1TVS...

universal detritus… 
us human beings born from 
wild stardust (allegedly) 

4B4ND0N1NG D3ST1NY...

abandoning destiny 
to indulge in nothingness… 
if Sisyphus had just quit 

4T TH1S P01NT TH3 CR4CKS D3F1N3...

at this point, the cracks define 
the system as much as all 
the alleged safety nets 

CH1LDR3N 1NH3R1T1NG 0VR...

children inheriting our 
destructive psychologies, 
nature and nurture the same 

M0D3RN L1V1NG G1RDL3S VS...

modern living girdles us 
to productive consumption 
(and consumptive production) 

TH3 VRG3 T0 RVN R3M41NS STR0NG...

the urge to run remains strong, 
but we convince ourselves to 
ignore heart’s desperate pleas 

D0M3ST1C4T3D 0VRS3LV3S...

domesticated ourselves 
as much as the world around 
us, pretending it’s progress 

L0V3 TR3SP4SS1NG 4FT3R D4RK...

love trespassing after dark 
in glare of security 
lights and hidden cameras 

S0M3T1M3S 4LL TH3S3 RVL3S W3 G1V3...

sometimes, all these rules we give 
ourselves lose original 
intent, and stifle living
