LENS
TO LIFE
#1
a simple look into
elements of freedom
nameless newborns
when you meet 'em
infatuated
in perfect readiness
direction anybody's
guess
express yourself
exhaust expression
life fulfilled
move on
#2
document, weigh-in,
age 'em
bound up
in conflict once you
cage 'em
house broken
domesticated.
substitute local
elements of conformity
switch off
self-navigation sensibility
nothing here is rash
unexpressed
left-over hash
two meet
one has little or no
preparation for it
the other has been
preparing for a long time
would it surprise us
to learn it is the unprepared who will last as an eternal flame in
the hearts of others; the other quickly fade to dullness. Mixed-up.
Flimsy. A rock sack of techniques?
The unprepared
born to perfect readiness simply loves itself to death.
