Extinction is Not the Same as Death
I
Extinction is not the same as death but a cessation of birthing
and the inscriptions that partook of that life form
II
it is a game, you know? this is not serious, but again it means everything
in this moment!
beautiful futures right now
nothing that we lived was worth it
(because of the cost)
but there again
III
today I saw no point
on the whole
I focus on the way light should
shoulder the blame
throw coins in the sink
drink too much water
throw myself in the
sink
long tears fell
on the childrens' wisteria
a flood of choice
the supernatural high that follows
we're extinct
IIII
if the world is ending why is Zayn so hot
radicalised by FOBE (fear of being extinct)

It's beautiful when people shut up: it seems large amounts

Frog Desert
I
I see 92 inches of you in a wetsuit holding a giant panda
like a door mouse expanding
Nothing ever happens except that I love my fucking life through you
Nothing ever happens except that I fucking love you
Heaven and earth are heartless
but nothing ever happens to me
except that I love you
II
