You are not a special viewer, you.
Eyes set on items make them not yours,
make them not special-er.
Your onlook gives nothing,
views do not cease to excist.
You are not a special viewer, you.
Your eyesight ain't better than no-sight;
your gaze won't burn or melt.
A spectatorship of no benefits;
in the seen, nor the see-er.
I heard some stories of inaction,
I heard some things that someone saw.
Far away and from some distance;
of no help,
could not help,
no.
You are not a special viewer, you.
The many stories since retold,
the moments of awayness;
closelessness, out of hold.
Leaving with some knowledge,
one wouldn't dare to tell.
Living with the knowledge
you didn't dare to tell.
Un-dare do;
the un-done dare.
Un-dare do;
the un-done dare.
Un-dare do;
the un-done dare.
Un-dare do;
the un-done dare.
teach me the craft of
seeing through people,
and looking away;
I was once never gazed.
I'm bad sight reader,
in trouble with paper.
A lousy fortune teller,
reading playing-cards as games.
can you kick an empty sack? I wonder?
I always wondered, my head of hay.
That head in the clouds,
and the nose on the ground.
A ripped thread and seam
placed on the un-bruise
or the other way around.
How hasn't my writing bettered itself?
'supposed to grow in skill
the more I have an awful time?
Or lawful time, is that it?
By law, nothing that is, is being harmful or harmed.
The things you own
are the same exact items
that someone envies you for.
Lacks are to be read out
and laughed at.
Presence forced to be unseen

Don't want to be fed by anyone else.
Don't want anyone to feed me.
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
I remember when
The distance between the surge and writing it down
is the delusion you have about yourself
you had about yourself
What are we about luck?
a slow comeback
What are we about luck?
a slow comeback
you heard about yourself
a mirror that is not you, not yours
a mirror that is not you, not yours
not yours
A body and it's owners,
maybe not you this time.
a slow comeback coming back
as someone who isnt' me this time
