I Don't Care. We Do It Everyday.

Feet tripping on plants, hands touching, leave as they fall from thriving trees and there's nothing left. Arms stretched out feeling the warmth of dying stars. Mercy has not found us. Grace has left us, and we're left to trip over planets as we fall into a black disarray.  
 
Soaking up the sun under the depth of the ocean. The fish gobble up our breath, the insanity that leaks off us. Turn it on, let it sit, let it suffer, learn to give a shit. We beat blindly at the walls of a place without a cage. "Where are your fist landing?" I want to ask but words escape me.  
 
I'm selling letters because for me they do not connect, so these words are for free. Take them, use them, throw them to the wind. I don't want them back, they carve the wrong path. Crawl it ahead, call it aboard, the planets float on waves of crystal. Look left, walked right. Fall to the depths and never look back.  
 
Jump when we all do. Forget to do all you can and follow the dastardly whistle. We can't continue when we reach the bottom, so yell when you get there. Break a stone and drop a heart. Forgive the lines of your favorite song for being wrong. Swallow, swallow, drink the ocean deep. The mask, the ball, the masquerade, you weren't invited anyway.  
 
私は気にしない! Just leave me be, we don't live on earth but live in space. The clouds beneath our feet can't hold us up. Standing on shaky ground, we quake and soar down. The ocean is so deep so hold your lungs. The world is flat and so is your eyes. Fall and call. Die and thrive. Drown and breathe. We do it everyday.
