Approximations
I wish they were the same
Typing in a while
An error
Ctrl Z on my keyboard
I headed back
≠
Driving in a while
An accident
Ctrl Z in my mind
There’s no heading back
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Nude in a bath
We dive in with joy
It’s pure and sincere
Life is beauty on a naked body
≠
Nude on an app
We look pleasureful
It is still pure and sincere
But life is just beauty in a nightmare
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Kissing him in my dream
That was always simple
Having a long conversation daydreaming
That was never my concern
≠
Meeting him in a corner
Same face, same smile
We looked at each other
But I shivered to death
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Cutting hair
Making it smooth
This is more likely hygiene or care
≠
Cutting hair
Underneath epidermis
Can sound cruel
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Drinking Jesus’ blood
Makes you feel you were saved
Alleluia is for gods, never mind
≠
Drinking human’s blood
Makes you a vampire
Save me Jesus, so they give me your blood
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
One day only ends after 24 hours
One life only ends when the breath is away
Only one second passed
The clock is totally different
Only one second passed
And it can be a new year
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Minds are made of approximations
Similarity makes us fools
But it keeps us steady in our insanity
Our truths are approximations
Our realities are just twisted resemblances
Should it be an end of humanity
I bet that approximations would kill us all

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
