A lesson you don´t want to learn

 To learn the language of sun
To remove the heart from the body
To learn euphoria not from stimuli

but from dawn´s merciless epiphanies

To watch the child as a seedling
Grow into a role and a labyrinth of emotions
To know your body as a sleeping bag surface shell

but not be able to grip that which you are, in spirit factor

If comfort was a concrete box
Surely I would furnish one for you
You, the one who seeks straight answers in a crooked world
One who burns the boardgame of life with the friction of too many rules

Yet still unable to turn your face away from the nonsensical chaos

To learn the percussion of the rain
virile and fluid, a wash, a flood, a watery stain
To welcome the storm, abundance and destruction´s unruly child
who wrecks the land if unadopted

Yet it´s not a lesson you´d sit down to

The essence of this life too hidden, too concealed under your bias
your conditioning, your wardrobe is common error
your clothes a chinese whisper that was never ripped nor stained
and retained even the same tone

The tone of an echo in a concrete box
Finely crafted out of the fear of loss 
and surplus debris overused gossip
mixed into desperate brands that cement impulsive anxiety

And marketed as the noble western cowboy
wandering into the sunset
