TRYING something with my brother
the other day
he sent me an Insta message
as follows
there was that time when I was five years old...
I STARED into the VOID...
& I ASKED
WHAT is the MEANING of LIFE
AND
the ANSWER came BACK
in my OWN voice
the meaning of life is to
REMEMBER
that time when you were a kid
& LOOKED into the VOID --2024
AND
I'm like f*CK the f*CK I'm saying to THAT man
& I closed the tab
BUT
then I remembered
I had liked a bunch of his stuff
it was his birthday
BUT
I decided it was a violation of his privacy
POTENTIALLY
it out him as a birthday boy
to post on Facebook
if the birthday doesn't come up
& it was weird sh*t
I liked
BECAUSE it's pretty much generally weird
BUT ALSO
not gonna lie
hoped you'd see them
BUT
I figured
I just say what I was gonna say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
BUT
then TODAY
in the spirit of
NOT being afraid of him
I JUST sort of
on the fly
DECIDED
what was called for was
SOME sort of
psycho - linguistic non sequitur
SO
I USED a beloved fridge magnet quote
edo samurai poet
masahide
I don't remember where I BOUGHT it
it's like SIMULTANEOUSLY encapsulating
LIKE
stand on one foot and recite
DO NOT that which is hateful to yourself to others
ZEN arrow POEM
that actor guy from the 70s
who was happy
when his house burned down
I can't remember what he said to me
I don't KNOW
if that was a good idea
I gotta go to bed
goodnight sweetheart 💋
I LOVE you VERY much
👾🫚
