poetry
terrifying challenges
some intensity undeserved
from the moment the cloth was lifted
the glare from the sun was overwhelming
and on some days it is too cold
on some days sweat burns in the eyes
and on some days the sun is a demon
on some days it brings life
all of it depends on everything
moment to moment, unpredicted
ultimately there is not peace
ultimately there is not chaos
it becomes frustrating
to describe
when the only way to do it
is to lie
moment focused
values oriented decision making
proper and improper
mindfulness and positivity
where does one sentence stop
and the other begin
can we take a second
to breathe
even in itself this thing
you're reading
has no real meaning
even though it's made up of meanings
and the close proximity
of stanzas in a vertical line
tricks you into believing
that all of this is connected somehow
but in reality it's all just well organized
beautiful nonsense
