an ephemerist

Walking down the street, looking at the feet.
Averting connection, avoiding intervention.
Hurting, in pain, voicing in vain.
Knowing nothing, afraid of everything.

Kindness unnoticed, a sole ephemerist.
Invisible, invincible, obtrusive, and miscible.
The forgotten truth that came with youth
Gone, gone, gone at the break of dawn.

What’s left is a list of analyses.
Algorithm to carnivorism.

If I could talk to the younger me,
I would balk at a plea.
Why I am the way I am.

Collecting creativity, relation, and cognition. Luck, lust, and life.

刹那くて儚いものを手に取ろうと。
美術や音楽、文学というもの。縁とか運。社会、自然、科学。
そして、いのち。
