Waiting for the end to begin
It seems everything
comes back to me in waves.
I feel too much,
see too much,
hear too much.
My mind never stops.
I'll never be enough.
I notice infinity encroaching,
being so far and impossible,
yet so meaningless.
It makes me unnecessarily
nervous about the end.
Wherever it would end.
Math never made sense,
but I think I understand
that everything exists
to be converted
into numbers and calculations.
Maybe.
Infinity is strange and stupid:
a boundless world,
an eternity
I have no hope to experience.
I hate not being macho.
Hemingway makes it so easy.
I wish I knew how to face the end.
I wish I wasn't so scared.
But I also wish
I didn't stop my life
so I can wait for it.
