Internal Anarchies

addicted i am to this faux feeling, all these worlds created upon apathetic 
absolution ; the
game can only begin when you stop wanting to win, when you've accepted there's
nothing left to lose. bruise me, stability, rip the ground away & pull freedom taut. 
i've told you
many times i prefer the rust & loathe the shine; i choose to hurt this way. i am no 
one
who lives no where & dreams of no thing in farther no wheres ; i crave the brutish 
lick of
time to wear & tear the earth apart. earth is seen with the eye-- is the perception 
of i in
contrast to everything else; in effect, reality is various. told what is wrong & what 
is 
less wrong, avoidance-avoidance conflict as nothing is good enough to be seen 
as such. forget
manners & proportion-- let's trade skin & touch. much of what is learned is 
what's observed,
lean in closer & take a second look [life is blind] -- so much we can find 
unrestrained by
sense.
