about

MINE
1:58/1:1

THERE IS SILENCE NOW
IT’S YOURS TO KEEP
WHO LOOKS AFTER YOU?
HOW CAN YOU PROVE THAT?
YOU CAN PROVE IT BY A VERSE.
YOU WERE POORLY LOOKED AFTER
SMOTHERED BY DRUDGERY
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME
WHERE A PERSISTENCE OF DETAIL THAT
CORRESPONDS WITH STAINS LEFT ON YOUR CHEEK
RUINED THE REFINEMENT
OF YOUR LOOSE MOUNDED FEATURES.
FROM WHENCE DO YOU COME?
ALONG WHICH ROAD DID YOU COME?
WHAT DID YOU SEE ON YOUR WALK?
HOW CAN YOU PROVE THAT?
YOU CAN PROVE IT BY A VERSE.
YOU SETTLED FOR KNOWING
ABOUT A GRIM CAREERIST GYNACEUM
ABOUT ATHLETIC MINISTRATIONS
WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU
ABOUT TRANSCENDENCE
TRANSGRESSION
EMPOWERMENT
PULLULATING PAINFUL LIVES DOWN THE CENTRAL COLUMN
AND THAT TEARS ARE ONLY WATER.
WHEN WE HAVE SET TO WORK
SHALL WE KNOW THE SECRET
OF HOW YOU PASS UNDER THE BRIDGE
THEN THROUGH THE NARROW GATE.
YOU CAME HITHER
UNDRESSED
REMOVED YOUR SHOES
ADORNED YOUR HAIR
WORE THE WHITE ROBE
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE LIFE YOU HAVE RECEIVED
THIS IS WHAT YOU NOW OFFER.
CUT WITH FORTY KNIVES
PRICKED WITH FORTY NEEDLES
YOU SEE THREE LONG PATHS AND SIXTEEN WAYS OUT.
HAVE YOUR VICTORY
OVER YOUR SELF.
THIS, THE FIRST TIME.
IT’S YOURS
YOURS TO KEEP.
