I have perfect, adjusted vision yet I'm legally blind, you see... Return of Idealism (Unbarred)? You know what I miss more than hope and Much less than ambition? Idealism And the notion you can achieve dreams So long as they align with Those who could stand in your way. You know what I could do without? Far less than carbs sticking to these ribs? Way more than corporations Tracking my every movement Through every 'smart' device? Social media What a tool -- clicked, liked Transparently forming self-actualization until Your crypto-world deemed Worthless. You know what I desire/like/miss (Check all that apply)? Simple Climbing trees for red, juicy, Mouthwatering harvest; nurturing Replenishing, sustaining life. Rebuild the legs, Restore the heart, Atrophy a mind plundered. Could you just be my friend? Reach for my hand across This unknowable abyss. See blue eyes gleam, not jaded; Full, reflecting -- a bridge Strong enough to hold both of us; If you trust, If your heart can be pure, again, If you will just dream like me. Who's the influencer now (yes/no)? We can pull away from that realm, Crumbling like molten rock Into the unknowable chasms Of a million helpless souls (No chance to swim across)? Restore Vision See It's a notion -- Compartmentalized thought Spilling over into the cubicles Of division implored we not bound, Ascend. -- The Categorized (from Dreamless Heart Still Swimming A Raging, Relentless Sea) Autobiography doesn't exist (dead link) And more things I'll think up for you to ignore, since I'm not going extinct like the 'Others' (First 'poem' of 2020) DEBATE ME! |
