Revival

2/11/2018

 


“I want my anger back!” says the poet


“Fuck your conformist way of life, you moron” berate the young man


“Passion? What passion? More from your books and papers? More from 


your train rides to the library? More of your organic food? More of your 


worry about money? More of all this shit you denounced just two years 


ago? More of this cowardice? You conforming sellout, Where is your soul 


for the absolute?”


I don’t have an answer that can satisfy him, 


I did more or less become what this ferocious mind hates,


I am not any crusader except for the cause of self-actualization,


That’s certainly not good enough for him.


“Look, I did become selfish, in the way that I want to live a more comforting 


life…”


“Pah! Hypocrite! Garbage! Zombie! You are as good as dead! Pah!” He 


spits and yells right into my ear. I am paralyzed from his words, because I 


am guilty.


“More cigarettes and cigars? Puff yourself to death now! Pah!” 


Speechless is all have for him, now we are both silent 


he stares at me, I stare at him


What are we going to do?


He is pulling a revival on himself


The seemingly deceased mind unwilling to let go
