Thank you for Making me cry Years of built up feelings Layers of lies that make my life Seem like beautiful lasagna When it’s a piece of bread that’s been Scorched, scorched, scorched, and more Layers upon layers of charcoal; Whether the inside is charcoal or Edible – a mystery I don’t want to solve.Continue reading “Bitter Tears to Gratitude”

Eradicate Depression? No!
I don’t want to eradicate depression. If we think about the art that has been created, as well as about the understandings that people have developed for each other over the past millennia, as a result of depression and negative emotions – there is a lot that we owe to depression and negative emotions inContinue reading “Eradicate Depression? No!”
Approaching an Articulation of Today’s “Metaphysical Martial Arts”
Assuming everyone who is human – dead, alive, and yet to be born – is perfect and amazing, the biggest challenge these days is being and/or becoming imperfect and lackluster. In my eyes, it’s really easy to become strong, fantastic, amazing – to become a superhero. It requires devotion; “simple enough,” one could say. WithContinue reading “Approaching an Articulation of Today’s “Metaphysical Martial Arts””
A Take on Volleyball Receives in the Grand Order
Your Life is one big receive The opponent is some entity that is way out of your league You, and every single other person– living now, who once lived, and who will live– have one chance to keep the ball in play. I used to think that Balls have come my way And they haveContinue reading “A Take on Volleyball Receives in the Grand Order”
An After Story (Abstracted)
In a world that has ended Where nothing is born, nothing dies Where not even passing time exists There is a person; solely, a person. It’s hard for me to describe this person. I don’t know if “sad” is what they are: though I see their circumstances as sad. “Content” is a word that isContinue reading “An After Story (Abstracted)”
Spawn of the devil
With no control over how others see them They burst Out in flames Smothered by love Surrounded by hate Desperate for attention, yet longing for solitude Gets lonely easily despite the fact– They’ve been the center of everyone’s attention since the day they were born. Holes in the wall Noises in the middle of theContinue reading “Spawn of the devil”
items in the sink
Pots, pans, dishes, et cetera–dirty, and in the sink: a job that needs to get done; a job that will get done. Even if consecutive moments where I don’t want to attend to them pass and continuously arise, I know there will come a moment where [either] I [or my roommate] will clean them. SuchContinue reading “items in the sink”
Suicide, Second Life, Modes of Seeing, & Superposition – An Application of Schrödinger’s Cat
If it’d mean that I could be like you, then I’d happily die. I see myself as living a second life. I could have died back then. Arguably, I did die back then; and, now, I’m somehow alive. I’m a little different from back when. I want to live. Does my living coincide with theContinue reading “Suicide, Second Life, Modes of Seeing, & Superposition – An Application of Schrödinger’s Cat”
Post-Anime-Watching Conjectures: “Is it ever right to kill?”
“Is it ever right to kill?” is a question that I was apt to ponder over after watching the latest episode of the anime The Promised Neverland. My answer (coming from intuition): It depends upon how much one wants to be a human. To be a human, or humane, means to look towards the future–beyondContinue reading “Post-Anime-Watching Conjectures: “Is it ever right to kill?””
Serves & Customer Service
In practicing serves, engaging in a specific set of movements –behaviors–, I thought about how good it feels to hone something; how nice it feels to do what you’ve been taught–on the court; in the workplace; at a home. I thought that serving balls is the same as doing things at work, saying “let meContinue reading “Serves & Customer Service”
