quite literally i can't breathe
although if i could I'm not sure I'd want to
it seems like a lot of work
living life and whatnot
but i guess there's a bright side -
Life.
if you're lucky enough to find it
assuming that a coincidentally fragile thing like luck even exists
in this belly of a beast we keep breathing in,
inhaling and exahling the recycled bullshi- air.
involuntarily, moment by moment, and at the same time constantly
but hey at least we're recycling right?
i think life is like one large recycling bin...
we're the recycled matter
the material that continues transforming
without ever acutally changing at all.
if it's impossible to create something out of nothing
by default we are recycled
consistently graduating and elevating states
molding into something that will never be
fully new,
because we've been here before.
as our bodies biodegrade
our mind gets a brief chance to escape
how beautiful -
free thinking at it's finest
independent of the burden that is the body temple
but it is a temple nonetheless,
a temple that must be watched & kept
so i think i'll keep watch
for a little while longer.
