Overload

Overload

A Poem by Corset


It's all about experiences
love overload
it's in the dogs pink tongue
that tastes your fingertips as you pass by,
It's in your neighbors as they pass you by
without greeting.
It's covering your sisters job
when she's called in with a head cold,
it's selling your grand-daughter off to someone
to pay the rent 
or marriage to a man
she doesn't know, 3 times her age
a life time of duty with little to
experience of love
buts she will find something
whether it's a bluebird on a branch
in front of her bedroom window

the visits each morning

where she dreams
of first love and finds
hope in the bird.

It's in the rich man who commits
and calls it quits
isn't money what we live for?
We work to have food and shelter
a place experience each other.

it's in the five-year old
holding hands and jumping up and down
for a stage rendition of Prince's
Purple Rain.

It's in facing him on his lap
and holding his dark curls in your hands
when he tells you 
that the doctors think that his mother
might have breast cancer.

enduring atrocities
is still an experience
because someone has the free will
to topple your life and does...

in every experience 
on an experiential world,
it's all the stories ever told.

It's in the bully who whispers
that you are a toad in the
lake of Flamingo mediocrity
and mid-life crisis.
Experiencing geriatric,
generic human existence.

What if there was no
right or wrong
except the right to do wrong,
no right in wronging others.

my instant hypocrisy.

Because we deny ourselves experiences
due to moral proclivity
WE deny ourselves experiences,
we deny the universe of experimental data
and what if I said for which this galaxy
exists
?

A petri dish in space.

Bacteria trolling the universal blood stream.
Smaller than protozoa in the grand scheme,
the DNA of the lymphatic
dark matter.

we spin

Everything continuously shrinking and expanding
in concentric circles
at all times vibrating, a pulsation
of time and we of the 
smaller things,

Dinosaurs to roaches,

till we float off into the yawning mall 
of the black hole
vein 
experience.

The creature experience.
our
playhouse
of creation.

 The garden of EVE
shines brightly
hueful with 
experience.

Yes it's the experience. Yes love will overdose.. but if not love.. what makes us do things for them.. again and again. I think love.

Lie is a series of moments that create defining experiences helps define who we become. How we react to the good and bad experience is the definition of our soul.
Amazing poem.
