passion

passion from the sea of time

fire from the sea
that burned with an irrepressible intensity
is vanished from my eyes
albeit it was never there to vanish
as if the basic knowledge of it was never mine
I came to late
the masters tell me it really never existed
they say it was only a mirage that was twisted
exploited in a way
and anyway you missed it-they say
the blinding light of energy-I mean
it was a fluke -an unattainable dream
an honest to god fucking fake
get over it you reactionary faggot and take
the advice of your fellow proles
don’t you know as an American you have the responsibility to keep you head in the dirt with the other moles
conjuring up dead ideas and memories that were never yours
is bound to leave the lucid water of your mind in pieces


Now that first stanza was not so bleak
as to cause the readers consciousness to sneak
away to the dead sea
with wine and film causing it to peak
