and now

[daveespionage]

And then
And now
And then
And now

The self is corpus inanimate
I am in denial of the past
Of the present.

I am within these lines
Blurring myself
Into a smudge on
A page corner.

I don't want this.
I don't see why anyone should be
A star
I don't see why anyone should be 
Well-Dressed
Well to-do
Well off
I don't see why anyone should be 
Anything more than
Anyone else.

We the people.
The destroyed
By the illusions
We have created.

I am aware.
I am in love
I am enraged
I am terrified
I am safe
I am an illusion.

I do not exist.

Neither do you.

Yet, here we are.
