Solid as Wave


you've been nothing but bounded your whole lie, i mean life
to speak of it
i have fully embraced giving up 

boundaries risk nothing and are inevitable
everyone will bet on them
high praise slap on the back 
for wielding yours. but what an imaginary

what a way of concealing 
to think being human makes you 
so spectacular and not just spectacle
i'm not trying to craft poems here

i want a record of break, of fail, i want to insert 
into time the memory of how when you try 
to repeat, you are making a bargain with less
you can't go home again

but you also can't do any of this twice

do you understand what i am coding
you can't see clearly 
because our way of perceiving is being 
co-opted by what we consider acceptable 
ways to be in this level of program

and what we have allowed allows for no clear
management of the dream's taking 
so we barter and trespass and i want you 

to recall love is not a thing you can give 
or take, you have nothing and you get nothing 
dead or alive, we top the cascades of erase

you've been nothing but bounded your whole life.

the way we love one another is so particular
no word yet exists

what we call failure in this life is a lie, what we 
call success is a lie, what we call progress is a lie, what
we call history is a lie, what we are doing is actually 
nothing
