seething breathing living in peace
feeling fury fighting to live
growing knowing showing your naked heart
this organism breathing
concrete clawing steel eyed
drawing real lines across the sky
tracing erasing vaporous convulsions
facing construction erection demolition inhaling
control organized realized faith in humankind
trust in science depending on nature's totality
exhaling burning fuming seeking finding
balance losing it choosing it using it
breathing in this physical addiction to Godhood
breathing out psychological trickery self denial delusion intrusion collusion confusion movement
stillness crowded solitude comfort in togetherness
alone to the bone on the phone boiling
evaporating hating loving feeling nothing
caught up in this slow motion explosion
this breathing expanding retracting organism
flying into the unknown known blind only
to find familiar strangeness sprouting
everywhere asphalt cracking in turbulence
serenity chaos calculating luck chance
taking giving choosing or not to believe
