Beat's Not Dead

who said what?

i said that

immaterial and possessed, i write with eyes closed because my eyes just distract. i write with eyes closed so i can touch my thoughts. i touch them and feel heat

touch the ridge of my neck and watch a line of fire pour down my spine

we scream in the night WOW because we're alive

we scream to measure our existence and delight in the excess, of joy, of humour because this is funny, this world of worrying and speaking too softly, of showing decorum and deference

we laugh because we know this world is a fantasy, the product of our eyes; i write with mine closed

we scream in the night because we are on fire, burning and burning before we explode into ash and cover the streets and get in your hair

we're funny you know, just because we are. we laugh because what else can we do

?
