the dark streets of decay 5


i’ve walked the entire length

of this city without strength

there are those who think they are relevant

as if the cosmos would notice

if they couldn’t blink

 

i don’t know why you bother to bother me

you either have never listened

or you just don’t understand

 

we do not share the same universe

because you cannot perceive

an existence that ends when you die

no heaven, no reincarnation

no god

 

and all the implications of existence

without these things

and why i always respond to your chatter

with “it doesn’t matter”

 

and that is why i roam

tonight i turned left down a street

tomorrow i may turn right

go home and read quantum mechanics

then go for another walk

and stroll past the grand opening

the red ribbon

and think that it is already in decay

already approaching disorder

 

solar winds or santa anas

eventually it all just blows away
