Contemplation is,
an obscured gaze with no direction,
for when you are
lost
beside yourself.
But the return of the reflection-
is a physical law-
that still doesn’t really change anything.
and
Feist is always the best:
What an impossible question
from start to stop,
the longing
front & back
the ability to grow
the ability to reproduce
right to wrong
good for nothing
hedge your bets —
the ability to metabolize
the ability to respond to stimuli
the ability to adapt to an environment
to move
to respire
it’s a slow burn
