despite the energy I expend
the work remains constant
this time-independent symmetry
wears down my potential
the associated killing vector
leaves me feeling null and light
my eyes begin to redshift
the variables all look equivalent
its becoming harder to differentiate
the letters from the numbers
I was in the right frame of mind
but now I've lost my inertia
as I gaze into infinity
my grade approaches zero
the night passes in a time-like fashion
while my thoughts are space-like scattered
I've worked these problems now
for what feels like a proper time interval
relatively frustrated
massively tired
generally hopeless
especially uninspired
stop thinking, just feel, with that
grimy heart of yours so
murky, clouded,
twisted,
wrung from scaly hands
that squeezed the light
from your soul.
don’t pray
don’t defile the skies with your
serpent's lies and your
demon’s eyes that glow red
when you love too much.
you dangled me over the abyss,
told me to hang on,
hold me like a lifeline,
and i did i clawed
your fair arms raw i begged
until my mouth ran red but you
just smiled
flashed your fangs in the moonlight,
and dropped me.

blessings showered from above
nothing ill has occurred
this will be the message sent
when honesty has been replaced
this temptation does exist
it’s not lying to remit
all the pain felt within
to only show the shiny bits
I’ll chain the muse to my will
deny it breadth of my self
scratching only joy and bliss
in prosaic latitudes
presentation is obscured
with only b
