SMOKING KILLS. dont smoke; really

somethings i think i inquire about things too much. being inquisitive always lands me in trouble; even in studies! you know how physics concepts usually take maybe one month for my mind to process it, but that’s just because i always wonder about the slightest notion of the reality of physics; and once you see it everything seems clearer.

TESTING THE REAL REALITY

when there’s a fire, you don’t run from it,

you put on your shoes, wring your wrists, push up the sleeves.

BUTTON! button up, buck up;

you kick, stumble upon a grazed bolt, turn the tweezer.

(likewise) when you face a mirage, you don’t run from it,

you walk toward it, mock the disbeliefs and incessant jammerwocky, break up the breeze

tie it; PULL, TENSE THE band;

you trip, fumble upon an acuminated ort, crease the paper and let it falter.

I SWEAR MY POETRY OF SENSIBILITY is actually getting cool and fun now. TEEHEE.
