a maze of contradictions
perhaps more than average
perhaps just what the doctor ordered
or so it was recorded
in the beginning there was only a single
light
& no one dared
[think] it was the flicker
of a BIC lighter
they waxed the myth
of what there is
with what isn’t/no matter
how absurd| they took the Word
for how it was written
you can almost hear the system
[as it is now]
》 closing in《
polishing the lacquer you become
unwillingly enamored as if you’d
just paid a manicurist to fix
infinitesimal chips in your paint
maybe it’s done &
sealed like a
vault
or maybe you’re not sure anymore
& that’s where I come in
