one can change these to allow others to see and know his state of existence
'yeah right
get real'
what realm is this emoticon
an imagined space
so to create a gathering of other non-existent spaces
does anyone care of the others' temperament regarding the taco they just ate
regarding the boil pained slowly on the leg
nope, didn't think anyone gave a fuck
the other is not here
i can not touch him
i do not see her face
i can not laugh with him
i see no light
there is no body
there is no embrace
no scent
there are only typed shelled words
expressing menial obligations to the man or pop
and i sit quietly
wondering when this stupid shit may suck me into the trash ball
or it already has wrapped its boredom around me tight
pulling the air away
i sit quietly
and wonder why i have few friends
and fewer loves
it may be easily my own inability
though it may be the prescribed life one claims as his own
how much of it is one's own
i suppose
the shit
the voice
the gas
the blood movement
the bipedal stomp
i doubt any of the mind
except one miniscule fragment of light
which most contemporaries
dress up in robes of pop culture
and extravagance
as though it really is that cool
as though they really give a fuck
as though they've expanded to such heights of awareness
though they know not when they've farted
or when they've burned down a youth
turn his skin into gold
we can wear it around our necks
and laugh heartily at our believed appreciation of art
of human
of the passion inside
read all about it in my status
my emotion
my essence
the lovers know; the others blow
the night is breathing
the sun is low
