SHOCK THE MONKEY

the subtleties under the apparent

it is the idea
it is understanding
it is seeing the horror
and finding a way to go on

i struggle
i reject those who live as if they know
who think their beliefs are paramount
beliefs based only on the desire for them to be true

tell me something real

irony

I have forever been fruitlessly agonizing over the meaning of this strange life. To understand where I fit in it; how to maneuver around these others that vaguely resemble me. I have wasted a lot of time, of life this way. I have made some headway, but not enough to balance what was put in.

The world around me is humming, while all around lay artifacts of my confusion. I stand ready to move, to clear the rubble and then, then I don’t know. I’ll step into something new.
