for every deep push one shall return, pushing farther and farther into you. and without any kind of expectations of limitations there is no let down, if there is no let down, there is no hurt. and we all don't want hurt. for every gift give 2 more and expect nothing more than what you're giving, and don't expect at all. the key to anything is to be into everything that's involved in that anything and love it for it's ugly parts the most, the beautiful parts second, and the numb parts last. instead of spreading thin and trying too much, reaching too far, being too much, and doing many things half heatedly, find 2 or 3 things worth mastering, that engulf you like that first caffeine high at the start of day. it begins in your calves and works its way up your knees, and washes over you like a wave of gin, like the hot breeze, the first hit off the cigarette and the last hit off the bottle, first kiss after the long fight, the cool side of the pillow on a hot night.
i can do this forever
and i will
i respect what i have and don't want too much more
everyone says comfortable
comfortable for some people is having furniture imported from the south of France
comfortable for me is now
i have wants and needs, desires and shallow dreams that come in and out of plain view, but alas i know who i am and what i'm capable of, so i reach further each time, but am not scared to fall back knowing that wherever i fall, i have it in me to dust myself off and come right back
full force
and now i leave you
temporarily
so when you wake up
rejoice
and
do-re-mi
