Forever In a Second

profanity
         [insanity- turn me around in not anger, but]
                       EMOTION
love hate fear nothingatall ----- equivalence, notice &
realize, young master, growing up, growing out of the
illusion of feeling.
                       [it's about the blatant senses-]
please this,
           eye ear mouth fingers nose /
                                        in one movement,
                      give it all up, give into the moment,
        & it'll momentarily be absolutely
worth it.
           _____ they've questioned questions before &
           still left the answers questionable;
                 some things are not right
                 nor wrong, some things are just
necessary.
this knowledge does not come from time, not from the brain
        [cuz in this context, it's obvious we're not sane]
but instead it originates from
                                     the beginning, from the
                                     basic instructions of
                                     survival.
   looking for long-term happiness has been shown to, in
itself, destroy the perception of true bliss.
       these seconds are not here to lead to more, but
       to be felt
                     as deeply as possible.
