The ends of things 1.
I bought a tiny new notebook today and put it in my pocket.
Its blank pages I consider An affront And a challenge
I want to fill the negative
Space
With positive matter and I
Know how dangerous That can be, 2.
How, everything that seems
Important to everyone Will come to an abrupt
Ending. 3.
People are afraid of endings
They are too terminal,
Too inflexible and too
Static,
And that is why they never
Finish anything, they're Scared of the state of
Completion,
Terrified to be committed
To some kind of
Finality and fixed
Determination. 4.
And they go back to the beginnings
And find comfort in revisions,
Killing their darlings And starting over and over
Never reaching the ends of things 5.
And then there are those that deny they trade Freedom for security And deserve neither
Because they're stuck
Between lines, from
A majority point of view
And mount up in a crusader frenzy To storm the castles and keeps
of the Holy Land to bring back
Treasures that lose their value
And may have been worthless All along. 7.
There is a futility of marrying or having a relationship with partners with Polarities that push away and all that time claim love. They deprive themselves evenness and try to be what and who they
Are not and could never be.
They turn their backs on true attractions and to whom they wish to surrender
But they fight against being repelled,
And hope their oaths, vows,
rationalizations, intellectualizing, And the deep seated need to do right by the other, an almost
Psychotic compulsion to do what is considered good and normal in their own eyes and the eyes of everyone else
Force them to live against themselves And the natural order of
The ends of things.
