feeling is overrated. like the feeling of hard-swallowed lungs or of soft-hearted whispers or of fingers against fingers against -- and you stop awkwardly in the syntax of conceptual periodicals. because punctuation is but a flaw in the human existence; lyrics a mistake in the presence of a baby's breath. if a song were to be the anthem of our heartbeat, could it also be the grammar of our placement here? when three times three equals nine so does red times blue equals yellow. that each feeling, each notion, each instinct is an open, live, breathing experience signifies that each is, transversely, a person in it's own reason. we will all read these things -- from romanticism to classical to "neoclassicism" and post-modernism and ---
all the labels will run over but in time will all be eradicated. movements, sexuality, gender, race -- all mixed and confined to lines in a history book and all the passion dually felt is lost. in the frugal ink of historians and artists and mathematicians and biologists and swimmers and idle on the tongues of dead Presidents rolling over in their graves. the ideals of feminism lost to time's eraser; the girls who riot contained by headstones. chauvinism is stuck at the root of it's ugly conceptions (because we know it starts from the head and continues upwards). what will win? the persuasion of this century is slowly losing power with mini skirts and animal-made cover girl (eazy. breezy. beautiful. horse's hoof) and the music that once created the movement slowly dies down and is patted to the ground by presuppositions, lacking lyrics by our nation's pink highlights -- Avril and Aly & AJ and Britney. between your lover's lips and statutory rape. stregnth here is underdone, lost in nails and high fashion and traveling and prefixes, titles, commands, demands, butlers, and -- ABOVE ALL -- the quest for monetary fame.
(in the same race we all run. civil rights. human rights. animal rights. the battles are never-ending, always persevering.)
