The Greek Starlet

Making eye contact with gas station drivers, shipping light coke through a straw etc.

Uneasiness

This non-descriptive state

where you truly believe you might be crazy

Nothing substantial

Not one single hint

Something to prove yourself wrong

Invisible toxic atoms everywhere

Infecting all your organs

Slowly but surely

You know you’re gonna faint sooner or later

“Everything’s fine; It’s nothing; Don’t you worry; Don’t stress;”

Are you fuckin’ kidding me?

Can’t you see I’m dying?

And why the hell can you still breathe normally?

Am I going mad?

The sense of self-validation

The “It’s ok”

sucked by the stratosphere

No proof of anything

It’s impossible

Only visible things matter

Only visible things are meaningful

I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.

– Hermann Hesse, Demian

I push myself to be at my greatest at all times.

And then I stare at the ocean

And I realize that she is never at her biggest

Her strongest

Her highest

Her most intense

At all times.

If the ocean is allowed to change constantly,

So am I

For she is greater than I ever shall be

Yannis Ritsos, trans. by Kimon Friar, from a poem featured in "Erotica: Love Poems,"

[litandlifequotes]

I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons cannot dance, neither can we.
