Life Needs Death by Definition, And Nothing Really Matters; But Cookies Help Me Be More Okay with Both

This Day in my Personality: I Learn Harder into Obscurity Until it leant back, and Stretched Thin Is the Veil of Desiring to be Desirable to Others

By ⸘jason alan‽Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Punctuate the day riding up one side of life and down the next, and really that's cause e=MC^2 and no variable equates to more that guerrilla-performance tactics. don't relinquish command, a captive audience just wouldn't survive in the wild- those of us who were raised by wolves are sure of what it feels like more than what it means. it's evermore a work in delayed progress of tomorrows and yesterdays; the beWILDered and domesticated; the reality of it and the liberties taken... the only thing i could simplify it to was something about an unstoppable force and an immovable object working in tandem to counteract the other's effectiveness. From right there and now, it's not unreasonable to reach to interpret that when left here where, even as it were, it was long lost to then be found. Listen- could you heard me, and do you still follow? The correct answer is subject to debate and the peer-review process of academics and of the law but does anybody else wonder if it's because we don't ask the right questions, or have we forever complicated the lowest common denominator to a fraction of the original simplicity!? Some things are indeed just that plain, and the fear of novelty has long since passed; the dead weight of emotions that were never mine to claim was all i needed to lose to make things seem less of a life-or-death arrangement. To whom it may concern- return to sender- from back to front while maintaining an orderly line of contesting inequalities until their breaking points, and if i can't even remember what i lost then is it really gone? and so then should it not also be back by now? or is that a paradox we just don't talk about? screaming unmentionables at each other's most defined vulnerabilities is my favorite kind of foreplay; keeps me wondering if it's love or sex we have together; and adds to the mystery of where i am accounted for on this scale. i weighed in, then i stepped down no longer wanting to or needing this to be anything to win or bust.
