(Dis)order
July 13, 2009
Perfection
Is the destination
Solidarity and wholeness
A single flawless entity
Purity
Is the goal
H2O and bleach
To disinfect the filth of life
Emotion escapes with the prick of a needle
Body is disinfected by the pressure of one finger
Feeling becomes numb through endless movement: distraction
Impurity is hidden, subdued, killed
Emptiness
Is the consequence
All flavor purged from the inside, out
On a barren land, nothing grows
From the void, nothing can be taken.
