Here is life

 Here is life

Splattered across the planet

Raging, screaming, fucked up

Laced with simple kindness

A few work relentlessly

To find some patterns in it all

For the sake of comfort, God

And an anchor in predictability

So we can sleep at night

But dreams don’t let us off the hook

The world is an absurd place

Absurdly self-destructive, absurdly beautiful

If we are living, and not hiding,

We bathe in life’s random magic

Naked, brazenly naked
