Quotes From Omitted Footnotes

       
     
"it was always dust    
tasted a lot like sugar    
but dust all the same"    
     
     
****    
   
       
a thought is all it takes        
a simple structure        
custom tailored by an idea        
cultivated at the gala of extravaganza        
in hopes of being made into a tangible thesis perhaps        
       
       
a fragmented yet cohesive spillage        
dropping down the chimney-mind        
sometimes divine        
sometimes as a gift from the Satan's claws        
       
       
*read the fine print*        
       
       
that clause in the contract        
highlighting the apple of my third eye        
I will hide my truth in plain sight        
but trust me...it's not some        
"catch me if you can type shit"        
       
       
there's a trail that's been noticed recently        
a pattern blatantly woven into the very fabric        
of what it is to be an artist        
and in the vein of that sentiment        
i ain't nothing but a fucking relic        
dusted off for old times sake        
suggesting nothing more than an antiquated future        
       
       
been there done that        
but no one remembers being at the last dance        
so we masturbate until we become numb to the 'newness' of it all        
pressing repeat ad nauseam        
let's call it infra-red fuckery shall we?        
       
       
the warning signs continue to glare with neon lanterns        
but the focus is always more on the heat        
rather than the light        
because it seems the human condition wants to feel        
more than it wants to see
