Whats the matter?

try & be here
if you can
present
yourself
forget the need
to be accepted
remember your hubris

most people
look at themselves
like this

others look
at themselves
like that

who am i to quibble?
its all subjective

and then a voice
called down
told me to stop
communicating
in abstract
ideological vacuums

i said a bad joke
i didn't need
a hoover
to clean & suck up
the red wet sponge
in my head

and then
i slammed the door
ego is not owned -
pious dictat
equals assimilation

strange things
happen to me
all the time

but to quantify it
makes me stranger
than the original sin
of being original

light is energy
we are all
made of stars
stars
are matter
as energy

we all matter
