Gratitudes ♡ Human Alchemy

I'm grateful for human alchemy enraptured epistemologies stochastic, probabilistic, ontic young & wild reasoned child now through a looking glass recursive reflections knowing in part the fullness of perfection pulls forked at each branching of being drink the witches' brew rich, bitter, melodic, painful fear I must let it pass through only a human can endure sacrifice present for future salicylic skinning of surrender peeling layer by layer preferences revealed trade-offs in market exchange changes keep keeping on playing the ultimate game cancelled taken out of play absorbed strong non-ergodic death of fame some risks never to take temporal not ditto the spatial sequence matters over time I lick, I shoot before I suck on the lime irreversible irredeemable each moment happens but once what to make of happenstance? each wound, each heartache, each joy, ecstasy assimilated over time scars become who I am rings in a tree's trunk licentious lotus born in the muck to weigh what will happen rests on my continuity not with others' symmetry perpetual paradox of poetry antidote to deadly artificiality find, express one's voice love is that which enables choice.
