A Hard Night’s Day

Wandering through the mindspace of eternally infinitesimal instants,

I find lightning bolt lashes of insight

into what I

am really thinking about.

 

They come and then they’re gone:

sub-conscious decisions I don’t really know I’ve made.

 

Existing as the ephemera of my reality,

yet simultaneously as enduring decisions made,

they haunt my waking dream

because of my conscious rejection of cautiously proceeding

to make them manifest.

 

Why must we be built with the capacity to hide

essential information from ourselves?

 

No, that is a ridiculous question.

What is it inside us that necessitates the structure

of hide-ability?

 

From a purely technical standpoint

it’s a necessity for accomplishment

and the understanding that there're

some things that would never be in

the realm of accomplishability if it

weren’t for the fact that we hide its

reality from ourselves.

 

We hide the fact that our jobs are merely a means to an end

because otherwise we would understand that there are other

ways to make ends meet.

 

We hide our unhappiness in our current situation in order to

maintain homeostasis because otherwise we’d realize there

are other ways to maintain.

 

There is always another way.

Keep that in mind.

Or don’t.

It only barely matters.

 

Don’t be afraid of what’s hidden inside you.

Seek it out.

Seek and seek and seek and seek and seek and seek and seek and seek,

knowing you will never find it.
