Nobody ever says anything; anything different anymore
we are all repeating phrases
put forth by our parents
by our predecessors
that will continue till the end of time
unless we make an attempt to change
our minds, bodies and words.
somebody invented it anyway,
anyway

why are we subject to this?
why do we speak the same languages
as our societies advance?

new words emerge
and thoughts
and memes
we try and try and try
but
everything stays as it seems

strings change
back and forth
like a bad divorce
we breathe
and process breath
we grieve and deal with death
but our minds still think the same
even if the molecules change

how do we remember
last december?
how do we grow and learn and change
as a single person, persons
if our brains are flux?
why does our knowledge grow
when our cells die?

is there dualism?
are we treated to this body
as a source of enlightenment?
or, are we trapped by our own mortality?

Find your id,
your ego, your super
and try to imagine that you are moving
not only with legs
but with words
and thoughts
and cells
we move
we move
we keep and forget
and remember, mostly, our regrets
but, these, are completely human

escape, take a break
take a minute
and question your daily
every day
day to day
question your mind
question your so called soul
and bring it to itself.
ask it where you have been
and where you are going.
ask it what it needs of you
to find out why.
