Mind Is Sold

[i knew you'd say that] i knew eventually your skin would slide away & i'd be forced to look at your naked soul- forced to pretend i like it cuz it's too late to find something better. your words are no longer legible no longer capable of going under any certain language, they move like liquid around the meaning, softening the solid truth, making it easier to take & hold. time is passing, has been passing, but now i'm getting old. my mind is sold to an accidental idea that shouldn't have been pondered, but that even now i dwell upon. today is past tense as is We as is the emotion that binds us. i'm a clumsy person & the task of keeping track of something with such importance is absurd, so as anticipated, at the very mention, i forget. life is not supposed to be so explained, we're mistaken in thinking we've progressed in taming it, & it's obvious that nature is offended at our actions. (we are far from superior) domestication is not GIVE IN I AM BOSS---- is not good at all. to love, to forget the common reaction to so-called faults & appreciate any contradiction against perfection.
