BRINTON GOULD

 
 

Typing these words without thinking
Spending that day with your mum without spending your emotions
There and gone and                            
                         there and gone until                                        
                                      there is no
There just gone
We the greatest fools and time the greatest con
Running out of the infinite so we must make up for lost infinite
Can’t take the infinite to do nothing while doing nothing no there’s gotta be something
Working on that job instead of serving some basic social needs saved some infinite 'at the expense of
Pleasure but why measure that which is not useful?
Celebrate this ill-sufficed self-sacrifice for an uncaring universe

Seeing art without experiencing
Being with loved ones in proximity only
Drinking the water without tasting it
