Non Objective Portrait of Karma

Ignorance is bliss, no wise woman’s failed to mention
And surely some koan suggests, «Neglect leads to perfection»
But the more I turn my face from the crowd
The more I feel my back’s increasingly compelled
For the sake of escape, to turn a knife on itself
A knife of relief, from all the petty insight
And finally I’ll sleep
And I’ll sleep through the night
Bored as fuck with this street corner-cover
Study of a face in a figure
Surveying this language as a game
Surveillance of this language as the plague
As the plague
The dimension of persistence condemns
As the plague, the plague
The dimension of persistence condemns
As the plague, the plague
The dimension of persistence condemns
This portrait of karma, crafted in accident
Text book seduction, minus the text in the language of ghosts
And so we ran
Like the wolves were biting
The inhibitions of their prey
Kept them from screaming
Scratch my back and I will stab you in yours
So I chose to live this life alone
Without the teeth marks, but I predict
I’ll have to sink my fangs in someone else’s heart to heal my own
Just a victim’s split
One part for the wolves, one part for you
But I’ll grow weary soon
Weary of this fractal code
Weary of this hallway lined with ghosts
Just a scratch upon the skin
A drop of blood to let them in
Their words will cause the sweetest fracture
From a stone’s throw
Just a scratch upon the skin
A drop of blood to welcome them
Parasitic, viral critics
Or lovers
Like spirits mingling in the mist that we crafted
A starving jury
Let them eat shit from our trembling hands
The heat for heat’s sake
On this Barnard block of Congress
Deductively speaking
The polar of progress
Well, maybe I put too much faith in the accident
Entranced, we danced toward the ripest display of escape
Let the starving ghosts feast
From this flesh, from these bones
Let them all feast
In this chess game of language
Forced to sit so I play all alone
Watch the bathos drift forth like the petals
From a wild crafted rose
