100 posts makes a resolution and a conclusion

Admissions Made in Careful Lack of Context

perhaps i have under-anthropomorphized you over time

Grant

i am, at once, upset over the progression of Florian Thauvin, and worried about the intricacies of becoming a singularity
e.g. there are a hundred players capable of crossing the ball only as far as the near post, and presumably even more that have been claimed by a dead spot in space and time
and you choose to postulate that Marseille is not the place for you
we are proxies for much darker truths

Embitterment

still, we duel
met in the square
we both drew early
for air
but you drew for words and i drew for breath
and i was the one who walked away and you are the one who stands victorious

An Observing Normaility

i want you to think of this as a text
my dislike for hyperbole is genuine
sometimes i see glimpses of a person within myself
when i pick up a coin and roll it between my fingers i feel the vaguest of nostalgias
and i look out the window and the camera pushes out, hard
showing my room as an orbital office in deep space
it really does feel like i'm dead

AOPKHES

this second is mine to inhabit
and there is as much refuge in its insignificance as there is terror in its passing
it occurs to me that you may experience something of a subliminal envy
it occurs to me that dreams take place in exactly zero dimensions
it occurs to me that all sportswriters will die one day
these, all at once
in the instant i have taken as my home
my art professor called Basquiat immortal and
it occurs to me that I have no clue what any of it means
golf your heart out, Barry Sanders

95

i don't mean to get hung up on you
that's rhetoric
i mean to

Friendzia

fewer reasons every day
life being the pursuit of fiction and so on
Will Toledo is the king of opening tracks
well, i never voted for him

More?

a naked man shouted at me from a tree and I thought to myself: "i should do this more often"
the scariest thing about living on an island is knowing that you're going to die one day
i strayed from what kept me sane
because it is not me (ha, ha)
Halfoat put the jeep in the ditch and I had to tow it out
that's just how i feel

Minderbinder, Where We Find Our Company

i drew your portrait in space time and a strange man laughed
an egalitarian prince and i share a catchphrase
we've never danced before but i think i want to
my devotion to you possesses me so that i can never meet you
that's some catch, that catch twenty two

Engle

slowly learning to let the right things slip
meta-sentience is an indulgence
push the memory out to sea
and stay on the tide until the beach swallows you up
