On Nirvāṇa ~ Saturday, February 22, 2025

On Care, Concern, and Consideration

I, literally, wrote the book

let words speak for themselves
if you wonder for whom I speak
to ponder this world, I mistook
emptiness for pleasure
rearrange the books on the shelves
asinine, if I reach the peak
language flows red off of my tongue
literally, blood flows, treasure
yesterday as today, forget

women, wine and song, mate
religion fucks people up, [bet]
only I want nothing, I grate
the cheese of industry, I clung
each day, to past ideas, my fears

treasured by Borges and Kafka
humble before Joyce, to rejoice
each day, as the sirloin steak sears

burn my writings, what do I care
only death breathes life to pasta
only if I had but a choice
kiss me, kill me, this voice, I share
