as we lose ourselves
in the synaptic crevices
between human logic and reality,
we stretch our imaginations further.
the gaps then widen
and sanity is the first victim

of our attempt to understand.
it’s okay.

let us fill the gaps
with superstitions and basal concepts
of morality to create a sense of purpose.

gaps filled with empty rituals,
ethical elitists piously pontificating
self-righteous parables and life lessons,
and pages of verse posing as a safety net
that will cradle your fall
and smother your sobbing body.

we’ve created hell
and with our fear of ignorance
we have remained
willfully ignorant.

as the net rocks you to sleep
i will mourn the moment it ends this sweet dream
and i awake into nothingness.
