on a day like today;
on a day when the ground meets the sky
and there is no discernible difference;
on a day such as this,
the infinite traveler is born

this body is cumbersome, this language inadequate
you feel your mind expand
forward and back through space
and time, like so many mirrors
reflecting themselves,
and no matter how hard you try
to see around your own image
you can never catch more than
a glimpse of infinity,
its fingers gently graze your face
and fade away like the memory
of a lover's touch.

I could have been a brain surgeon.
it just. does. not. work! How can this socio-economic system of free market capitalism be hailed as the best possible course for humanity to run when no one can (accurately or otherwise) describe how it works. The proof we are supplied with: "It hasn't failed thus far, therefor it must be the best possible system". How is this accepted? HOW?!
I find myself having a crisis of identity. Part 1 is so cynical and nihilistic, and believes nothing has meaning, and there is no point to accepting the current system of government and economy. Part 2 is struggling to find a way to succeed within the current system. I've been trying to find a compromise, and so far I haven't had any success at all. I've read books, I've listened to websites, and I've come to my own conclusions. Still, I find myself terminally unhappy with my current life path.
I need to find a way to become the activist and still somehow succeed in some semblance of a life. Could it be possible that the traditional measure of success no longer applies? is it up to me to forge ahead and create my own brand of success?
i completely devalue wealth and markers of social power. yet i get caught up in it again and again.
i need a strategy. I need a clear plan.

i caught her eye as she dipped down with the waves
as if you knew my discrepancies
as if i knew your ______
as if we'd known each other so long and been constantly searching for flaws; constantly searching for lapses in the others judgment; A hole through which to launch an attack, two old dogs circling, sniffing each other out.
specific daylight time limit infractions fragment fragrant filament diagonal disaster reactor realizes inherently rational thought control.
in other words:
i am lost.
