let’s review

past resolved

but i remain un-evolved

unless you consider

cigarettes and alcohol

the pinnacle of evolution

 

if evolution is really the explanation

there may be a reason

the missing link has never been found

 

like the big bang theory

a mathematical deduction

not a requisite induction

into the hall of fame

where every truth has more than a name

 

numbers arranged and observations

offer the same equations

as ancient scrolls

rolled in broken jars of clay

 

essentially we just don’t know

nothing is in flow

 

words are forever heard

but words have no meaning

 

and i hate living in a world where

everyone thinks that everything matters

 

let me roam at midnight

with no one in sight

 

don’t you realize every time you speak

your words reek

with what you think to be true

but can’t prove

 

go and speak

but don’t plug your leaks with my thumbs

cause i will just walk away

and let broken dams flood

the dark streets of decay

with the meaninglessness that holds sway

cause you think

if it didn’t happen to you then it didn’t happen

and no lesson is to be learned

 

you keep what you earn

and you feel that this has meaning

 

even buddhists aspire to have no aspirations

everything has an expiration

and we accept or develop a line of thinking

to make this one truth a lie

 

but i spy with my little eye

that the end is always near

and nothing will be made clear

because your brain will cease to function

and you will just no longer be

 

so ignore me

and let me

the darkness

the late hour

and the crowd scattering rain

be one

with no reason to explain

because there is no reason

to this or any season

all just is

and one day

all will not be

one by one

gone

till all is gone

and the perceived endless expanse

will be nothing but

unexcited photons

floating… forever

which is what

i keep trying to explain

with stories about what i do

reveling what i believe to be true

which is,

“it doesn’t fucking matter

what we do”
