Stalemate

Give a snail a carrot Laugh at it if you will Alight with life and laughter Tickle your hubris And tell it you are better than the snail Better than what you step on But watch it eat without consuming And writhe yourself to death Forevermore Let a dog lick your inner palm Because it wants your hand and Loves you so Feel the way your nerves shoot through your body The desperate dog Is it pity you feel? Do you look down Or do you desire To love so purely Is it envy? Yuo sea teh man lerning hiis first Languayge Ande in all certanty He struggels But You understand As if the words were all correct And he shines through each Deliberate mistake And you see the color of his art Reflected on the Ink of his pen Corner yourself Stalemate In your human kingliness Watch the struggle for more Inherited by each living creature And in your wish to feel more human You laugh What joyous foolishness to learn how to eat a carrot To love without a care in the world And to be wrong with the unique precision of the human soul Become Stillwater when you look upon the change in the world as if it’s nothing The different dimensions of life as beneath you Stalemate yourself in your own conventions And find the moves without progress beseech you And lose before you even begin to find What winning is It’s a stalemate Of your own design
