Burn

I’m searching

through boxes

and paradigms

for controls

and systems

to get me off this runway as I pick up speed

set a new direction

need a new dashboard

dashboard smashboard

need new systems

need new tools

need to learn how to shift gears

i’m searching

in the right place

but left is right

and north is south

dad goes this way

mom goes that way

jesus christ

what the fuck do I do?

so I set fires

I set fires

fires

fires to burn burn

I destroy a world

I exit a smoke screen

I eclipse the icarus

his shadow and demise

his essence and rise

I will play a new game

I will toss familiar things

things that fall

from my hand

so easily

to the ground
