pick my own pockets
find out what arcane gods i worship
and keep near to my skin
worth is a value
a variable i cannot calculate
for myself:
for i take
the cool and scientific approach
the reasonable and rational way,
but the eye receives,
inverts, and
bounces back too far
and i am left with
half the story
missing the sweet spot.
i am a spectacle
car-crash phenomenon
greedily gathered
but only
from the edge terrain of vision.
sometimes i want to
get myself drunk
wait for an opening, and
take advantage of the situation.
