density seems to be weighing pretty heavily on my thoughts lately
and the inherent nature of the topic is stopping my mind from taking flight
like it used to.
I used to run through doors and swim across every puddle I overstepped
I used to sit up all night thinking
and not getting anywhere
feeling my head sink deeper and deeper into my pillow
until I was sure I would suffocate
from lack of oxygen,
because each idea floating out of my head
took up just enough space in the air
to be my own end
but the thoughts haven’t been floating
and when my head hits the pillow I still dream the same dreams
and that’s the essence of the problem

dig yourself a tree and hop from root to root until you’ve found from whence you sprang.
or better yet,
drink the salt water
that washes over you
once you’ve finally arrived
at the place we all ultimately owe
for this illogical bonding of
subatomic particles,
contrary to the very laws of the universe,
that lets me think these thoughts.
the only law of nature that applies to life is an unyielding desire to disobey
and I wont be satisfied until i've left the atmosphere
far behind

lizard slither your way out of the soul
and walk upright into the mind
a carbon copy of the desire to be eternal
is imbedded somewhere between the connection
of the eyes and the brain
we've never wanted something for nothing
and we've always seen the common thread
in everything we deem as good
so pick your side, atom or adam,
and if you're ever proven wrong, just claim it was a typo
"Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."
