for manifestation
and remembrance

of making it real
myself

no one who will care
im just so tired
so please
if its not excessive its not real
if it doesnt hurt its accomodation
and you’re welcome
to partake in this
the sad game
of civil war
in which we will
chose sides and draw lines
and follow them
and come up against
limits
like the one on and of
our understanding
of this point
(in time and space)
and the meaning of everything
leading up to this
(the point)
being entirely contingent on it
and what we chose to do
with it
