molecular.

thinking about how
i'm thinking too much
the reverb knob
in my mind
is turned all the way up
and days don't pass
the same
finding answers
and getting results
may not help at all
sometimes
there is no closure
no one is innocent
there are no victims
just a large puzzle
this piece has sharp edges
if it doesn't fit
it will cut you
but we must try
anyway
it doesn't always work out
it cannot
but
it does not
matter
our rights and wrongs
are neither
our dos and don'ts
will always change
and we are
no better or worse off
we just are
what we are
speaking in rhetoric
and living through it
delusions and
illusions
playing parts
based on
memories
with no mirrors in sight
we are all the same
because
we are all
so different
we multiply
and divide
we give
and we take
we are born
guilty
all of us
so we run
until there is nothing left
we run
until we collapse
for the last time

spill.

gravity
shows no favorites
it is harsh
and absolutely
fair
it wants to slam me
to the ground
my body
is like a bottle
filled with
water
and at times
poison
i have
fallen
i have been
dropped
leaks
have sprung
and been patched
my blood
pulled down
into the earth
it doesn't matter
which fluid it is
it will flow
beneath
i have slept
on the floor
in the past
as i do now
looking only
up
nowhere to fall
i cannot be pushed
any further
not tonight
how i feel
and
what i think
do not matter
this force
cannot be defied
not here
someday
gravity will win
someday
we will all
spill
...
