i read in a pamphlet
that life was platonic
that the great master plan
could involve plate tectonics
or crashing cars
barroom scars
CANDYBARS!

someone once said
that it’s all non-specific
you can focus yourself just
on being prolific
rapid cognitions
carbon emissions
dualism
monism
deconstructivism

i went to a lecture
on relativistics
met a man who devoted
his life to linguistics
churches of celluloid
girls who took polaroids
fatalists
physicists
freudian fetishists

i hoped to find meaning
in mind over matter
or neurons
or protons
or safety in photons
robotics
neurotics
exotic erotics
or living in sin
with specific psychotics

i learned in a lesson
that everything’s something
which fueled an obsession
with searching for Nothing
