dots

people want the dots to connect
they want the story to fill
their preconceived notions —
linearity, order,
sequentiality…
cause and effect in equal measure
— it makes them feel good
if intention precedes action,
and they prefer to have desire
come before fulfillment…
but life isn’t bullet points
on a page —
you can’t plan and outline
the hell out of this shit
it should be enough to say
it’s messy, a blur…
things fall apart sometimes
and so very often
there is…
