all's not well

to define is to limit
goes for the good and the bad ones too:
a limitation that's suffocating
but on the other hand, there's
a limitation that's liberating.
to narrow down the whole thing until
nothing else but the problem itself remains
in all its revolting colours and shapes and sizes
and not to let any detail escape. to identify it, to face it.
problem, you're dead

this is the latter, I feel like understanding rationally
what I've been guessing at emotionally
and is there a cooler feeling than that.

but it's only the first step, and it's only for my part,
and the significant object of the whole thing
haven't had a say yet. o b j e c t, yes, that's the sort of
thing I'm usually doing

another day when I fought down the nasty panic,
but I'm doing this tiny, miserable, most intolerable
amoeba-existence and it's not really uplifting

m e a n w h i l e (oh dear)
