In place of the State of the Union Address
We will have a virtual torch hand off
Weeds made of rice and skin, wire made from spun cotton

Shaking in place are the same 2 figures, this time one casts a larger shadow
Twice removed is the same as three times

Did you know once obscurity takes place you can stretch it as far as you want?
That distance, can most definitely be quantified, and my money goes on knowing that perfect distance that attracts the public vs attracts collectors vs attracts the working class artist

Dare not believe in your place to always be
I listen to the shrieks of trumpets on my right, and the fan to my front at my feet
Black roses want to fall behind me, but the seep out from my teeth withprecise calculation

I want to be who I was formed to be
This is a contradiction in itself
The stars may inspire you and the noise may turn you away but in the end in a moment of sobriety the curtains fall and proclaim life is a product of your within, not a product you consume.

Hedonism interests me greatly.
Is it that the pursuit of sobriety is foolish, or that it is dishonorable?
To seek pleasure as life goes beyond riches, mind-altering pills, sexual acts, smiling. It must be to secure yourself in intellect, and a basis of sobriety at its core, to loop around the bend and become a visitor of pleasure. Distilled attitude and pleasure go hand in hand in hedonism. To feel no shame and be conscious of the pursuit of pleasure is an isolated route, one with starstuck clarity, piercing eyes, one that is not lived with anxiety and exists in the backroads of all lanes.

Feel the wind in your face, sporadic, artificial.

The key, is to speak earnestly. For it to be known your can speak earnestly, for it to be made regular, that you speak earnestly. That your commonplace state is to speak earnestly. This unlocks a global romance.
