Whenever I am intimate with my mirror,
I dissociate from my reflection;
Casting away the shapes of my body;
Only existing as a pair of eyes
That sees nothing but the green glass.
…
Living without purpose-
That’s the slowest you’ll ever age-
The slowest time will ever move.
Slower than a sedentary sponge on the seafloor.
Slower than an immovable object.
…
A friend once said
“Everything in moderation- even moderation in moderation”
And those words lingered over my otherwise caustic mind.
For a second, I believed he had glimpsed the void where my heart once was.
…
Every time a blind person opens their eyes,
They are gray.
Every time a deaf person sings,
The voice is modest.
But every time I think,
The thought is ripe:
The synapse is wise:
The brain is alive.
That is what they tell me
When I’m not listening.
