Daily we make up our lies with
pieces of the truth, indemnifying
ourselves from the current reality.
Hesitancy takes time, various stages
of indecision come back to hinder.
Arbitrary illusions provide a depth
only the imagination will grant.
Seize the moment, the inspiration,
in the obvious unaccounted for.
Can you face up to the falsities?
Time heals all wounds, but only if
you loosen the bandages, only if
you believe you have been hurt.

Every day is practice
for something larger,
or more
specific.
We go about the hours
uncertain of anything,
except the fact
we are here.
It is as temporary
as it is purposeful.
Learn as you go.

How can we decipher
messages not intended to
be understood? Spoken or
implied, there must be meaning
in the recurring madness,
so much so that we fail to notice.
It happens. Mixed messages.
It becomes routine.
The everyday ambiguity
is ominous. Where is the
clarity we once expected? Who
has time to define
what they mean, when we
obviously do not comprehend the
questions, let alone an answer.
We cannot think clearly,
if they do not speak clearly.

is all you’ve got

Knowledge comes in many
forms. In seeking answers
we often question the norm.
Mindless trivia, useless facts,
the kinds of stuff you simply
have to ask about; all the little
things you wonder and bigger
things that matter. You know
you want to know more, you
have to know. It’s curiosity.
