BE

BE

end of the road
and so branching, back-
tracking, trying to
figure our evolution
before it takes
us on a path

somewhere where we
can live at ease
with the hostility of
the Universe to life
and yet
    perfect chemistry for it

figure out a way
to escape
     this impasse find
ourselves rethinking

overthinking
this Universe demanding
consciousness of us
demanding intelligence,

darkest
dialogue

why can’t it just let us be?
