Why laugh when we can cry?
Why hug when we can fight?
Why talk when we can hide?
Isn't it a far more potent state of being, to have your inchoate mind competing with a random heartbeat that threatens to get ahead of you as your fingertips burn in silence?
When the soles of your feet register each miniscule prick of dirt on the floor and your toes cramp in rebellion?
Can you feel your stomach churning deadly acids that lick its womb and worm its way up to your head through pale arteries choking back smoky tears?
Bloodrush is better than a rollercoaster high?
Frozen skin is better than a warm bath that will inevitably lose its ardour?
Flaming dreams are better than numb smiles?
Try and decode the bullets that shoot through your brain and explode in a kaleidoscope of images that make love to each nerve ending.
Fail, and the ghosts will kiss you.
Light obscures the nuances that darkness unfolds.
Joy kills the words that pain creates in effortless beauty.
Package an emotion in ribbons of fact and you have a gift no one will die for.
And the dead will never visit you again.
Who was it that said a pessimist is one who's scared of rain? Ah, Leonard Cohen.
And he claimed he's not one because he's soaked to the skin.
Make sense?
