You walking off the cliff
your eyes wide open
woke like a dream popping open
what do you see across the street
in its naked form
its loud design
what do you say to the trees
dropping new age doctrines
& metaphysical quotes
you are about to die
the death of the earth again
& you still don't know who you are
because you want to be everybody
everything
a stone
a home
a blank slate
a common hue in the colours
of the rainbow
you are trying to escape your past
to reinvent your body
yet each reprogrammed reaction to life
erodes something from you
I don't know what that thing is
you don't either
I'm sure if you are asked
you will have some philosophy
underpinning the lethargy of your life
