I found your fiction in the back of my memory
Those crashing atoms of our romantic youth...
Was it mine?
The feeling subsides.
I've been trying all this time to drown the stasis in soft light
(Soften the light)
What a pity to live in a pattern.
What a shame to give up what you're after.
Never will be a statue or sculpture
So we'll swing, we'll hang from the rafters.
You never had the time
to sacrifice your spine.
But your head’s in the hive to reside and surrender.
But I never had the energy for artificial apathy.
To find myself in atrophy;
These could be the rest of our days.
So they say hollow fury fades.
Don't we all just survive and habituate?
Prize the rush we crave.
Hear the sun, and the garden takes its form.
What a pity to live in a pattern.
What a shame to give up what you're after.
Never will be a statue or sculpture
So we'll swing, we'll hang from the rafters.
