I understand why the worlds in such a mess.
It’s because the generations before
you hate nature.

You would have shown me this

in turn I would have delighted in showing you this

And wouldn’t understand when you were suddenly angry,

this doesn’t exist without this

That last one took more out of me than I would have liked.

I should have known, I was terrified of it from the start—from the moment I saw the thought begin to geminate—the perfect white seed vibrated a little as its coat peeled off—how could you look away from that? Even being terrified to watch it grow. And then it dug in roots.

And that lead to nightmares and a refusal to get out of bed until the after images went away. Eventually I was able to shrug off both hope and despair and muddle myself some coffee. Only to surrender to blankness which will eternally be my craft.

You, I’m telling you Poet, I am telling you Writer, I am telling you Naive and Innocent, that this is what you must go through to Be.
