The state of art.


I’m about to write a poem
about
The Fucking King.
I’ll make it sound like music
condition reason through listening
the ringa ding ding
of his keys when he comes at your door
makes your dick a bit thicker when his hand’s on the doorknob
makes you wanna smile

but you don’t ‘cause he’s lurking
the big cock tease, the charms of it all

the will to surrender

under The Fuking King.

Tell me, Sir
Please. Tell me.
Is it always about the
"you could do
so much better" issue?

I used to think I knew some things
Now I believe
I'm not following
So please
Tell me, Sir.

See,
I used to be one of your regular
slaves for the symbols
(they gave all things weight)
-not to the slaves
but to the symbols.

Throughout time
a constant
weaving
memory of all
one single positive
literature

How's faith one book?
how's hope one love?
How's fate one death?
How's love one hope?

I guess I know
I have Myself
to blame
(have you not
taught me
well about this?!)

Carrying those symbols
around like
an impossible house
a reluctant hero
a dead siamese

How could you hold those things?
So mine. So undeniably mine.
And right when I
Started thinking
their meanings could cling
to some truth
somehow deliver their weight
to transform some/how? reality
I realized
I could never get
the lightning of your face
right.
Could I?

Embarrasing.
I imagine faces of an imaginary crowd
to offend myself
to remark the weight of symbols
how once this weight was my ally
now pins me in shame
tell me,
Sir
How could we
let this
happen
to me?

Once upon a time
ridiculously enough
could have been yesterday
but these
are the things
I don't know
anymore
And I can't believe
now
like in time,
When you're around, Sir.

I was looking for nothing
those symbols were just there
not a burden
but a sibling
a second chanel
of consciousness
if it pleases you more
to think like that.

Please,
don't say the words
or say them all
I want you
I want
you
to be
you
I want
nothing
at all.
