elusive to the point of your own illusion, maybe
even and unto but quite possible only to yourself;
what did the man say?
give me a lever large enough...
and I'll move my ego.

a slow burning coy enigma,
frantically waving
but still endlessly elusive
and constantly consuming.

but riddle me this?
if your curious about everything?
wouldn't that mean your interested in curiosity itself,
not to twist your composed apathy.

after 5000 years of so called "civilization"
you were the culmination of the centuries;
rounded down to a flawless equation.

your a perfect example for the modern transition;
to all those who travel home to take stock of their lives,
you should just leave your livestock alone.

save any cat poster philosophy you may have had
and leave what's left behind, well, left behind.

after our brief interlude,
i had this to say:
i saw through.
