navigation

things never feel good unless they’re done right
and the alternative of not doing them
doesn’t actually exist

~

voyages are commenced more casually than perhaps they would be
if we knew just how many days we’d be at sea

~

there isn’t a whole lot of room for error
and somehow the course to chart is completely up to me

this is an impossible navigation
not least because the holes in my mind’s ship
are getting larger every day

i will keep sailing until whatever end;
i’m a survivor

but i’m not sure that i’ll ever have the option to thrive

no vacancy

all the thoughts that have come before
have been my imperfect religion

~

there really isn’t room for
everything that once passed through my mind
to become a tenant now

you know that,
eviction won’t really be in the cards and we’ll have a whole host of other problems on our hands then

it won’t be the crowding —

it will be the breeding

bringing out mutants
whose only fault is their existence
