Something with a Lifespan

04/28/2026 14:58h
How many times should I look at you and should I change my life? Monarch you make your orange assent to death. And how much dexterity can you really teach me? Does your courage even map onto these worldly obligations to friends, my job, desire for a little affection in the late hours of the evening, etc.? I can't put myself ever in your head. But I can lie on your wing, with my left eye letting my right dart forward as you do. Don't ask something with a lifespan how to change your life. Ask something you can't believe ever lived.
